Increase Your Vocabulary

If you provide translation services, and this includes Spanish translation service or even medical translation, increasing your vocabulary is essential. There are many ways to go about doing this, and just recently Dictionary.com has suggested a rather easy and actually quite entertaining method: Watch the right TV shows.

Dictionary.com has put out a list of shows that they believe will increase your vocabulary based on the plethora of ‘big words’ that are used in these shows.
  • Glee
  • The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
  • Fringe
  • Top Chef
  • Sesame Street
  • Yo Gabba Gabba
  • True Blood
  • Mad Men
Those of you who provide translation services may not actually find the need to translate words from these shows, but one never knows what translation services may be needed. One would think that watching a medical show like House would only help someone who does medical translations. So, the next time someone tells you that you watch too much TV, let them know that it’s part of your job as a translator doing medical translations, Spanish translation service, or any other translation services you do.
