Introduction
In recent decades the world has shown a significant
evolution in terms of advances in science, marketing
and telecommunications So learning another language
like English has become more of a necessity than a
pleasure.
We as future teachers must be at the varguardia all the
innovations that come out, the more we must be
innovative so that future students are creative and like
what they do.
Through this work we propose that language is
acquired through nurturing vocabulary strategies we
propose then intend to publicize Tip's about learning
to achieve positive results in the acquisition of a new
language in this case English.
