A person's language's set of common terms is known as their vocabulary. A vocabulary is a valuable and essential tool for communication and information acquisition that typically develops with age. One of the hardest parts of learning a second language is developing a wide vocabulary.
Introduction

The words we need to know in order to communicate successfully are referred to as our vocabulary. The four vocabularies of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are frequently taken into account by educators. The words we require to grasp what we hear are known as listening vocabulary. The vocabulary we use when speaking is called speaking vocabulary. The words we must grasp to comprehend what we read are referred to as reading vocabulary. The vocabulary we use when writing is made up of words.
