English vocabulary is both fascinating and tricky. Sometimes, you come across the right pronunciation of a word, and it hits you like a bus! You have been mispronouncing it all your life! Would you be disheartened or awestruck? No amount of Netflix or schooling or reading is enough to master the art of vocabulary.
I'm not a scholar either to impart vocabulary lessons. Can I interest you in some memes that validate your struggles, instead?
15 English vocabulary memes that you can relate to
1.Pretty (via outspokn.ai/ Instagram)
Here's a life lesson for you! We need to focus on the positive aspects of insults to move ahead in life.
2. Easy (via englishwithcarla/ Instagram)
Have you ever 'thought' about how 'tough' it is to get 'through' the different variants of similar words? Maybe a 'thorough' reading session would help!
3. Can't (via theenglishlovers/Instagram)
'Unable to can' is the perfect alternative when you run out of ideas but have to meet the word count!
4. Perhaps (via turnmeroyal/Instagram)
'Maybe' is cool, but 'perhaps' sounds elite, right? Don't hesitate before sliding the word in a casual sentence while texting your crush.
5. Furthermore (via imgur/Instagram)
When you use one hundred percent of your brain and use 'Furthermore' in an essay! Don't worry, the tri-syllabic word is enough to elevate your grades.
6. Banned words list (via meme.ig/Instagram)
Here's the Gen Z/ Alpha lingo which is superior to any medieval dictionary! Which ones made you refer to the urban dictionary already?

How important are subtitles for you? Maybe this is your sign to start watching movies without the subs on!
15. Ignomominous (via css_english_with_shahzebkhalil/Instagram)

Your perspective matters!
