It is always a good study idea to compile vocabulary lists to memorise and revise new words and expressions. The books of Modules 1, 2 and 3 of That's English! bring vocabulary lists at the back. However, as well as learning the meaning of new (and old) words, we must make sure that we know how to pronounce them.
