How to Learn IELTS Vocabulary Like a Native — Not a Robot
You’ve tried it all.
Lists. Circles. Flashcards.
Templates. Tips. Endless scrolling.
You’ve watched teachers post neat little Instagram reels like:
“Here’s 5 words about environment! Pollution! Carbon! Fossil fuels! Conservation! Recycle!”
You save it.
You feel productive.
But a week later, you’re in the exam, and your mind is blank.
Because memorising vocabulary is not language.
It’s storage.
And what you need is flow.
Let’s be clear:
“Word Circles” are not learning.
They’re just word-shaped decoration.
They don’t show you how the word lives in a sentence.
They don’t teach you how real people speak.
They don’t connect you to clarity — they just clutter your memory.
You don’t need more circles.
You need The Transmission Method.
🧠 What’s The Transmission Method?
It’s simple.
It’s how fluent writers actually become fluent.
Here’s what we do:
1. You read a real, native-written text on a key IELTS topic
No fake examples. No textbook junk. Just real, fluent writing.
2. You find a word that’s used naturally — not memorised
Let’s say:
“eroded” — from a paragraph about globalisation and cultural identity
You don’t just “learn it.”
You see how it behaves. What sits before and after it. How it transmits meaning.
Natural use of ‘erode’: Globalisation & Culture
- In many urban centres, traditional values have slowly eroded as Western media and consumer culture become dominant forces in daily life.
- Linguists argue that minority languages are eroded not only by education policies, but by the increasing demand for global economic participation.
- Without active preservation efforts, cultural rituals risk being eroded by the fast pace of modernisation and the pressure to conform to global norms.
3. You then write that word — three times — in your own sentences
Not copied. Not mechanical.
You use it in a real IELTS Task 2 essay:
Globalisation has eroded local languages in many parts of the world.
While some traditions have remained strong, others have slowly eroded due to media influence.
Rather than allowing identity to erode, communities must actively preserve cultural narratives.
That’s it.
That’s how the word roots into your fluency.
No circles.
No cute graphics.
Just clarity.
Just mastery.
Chris built word lists.
We’re building transmission.
He gave you surface.
We give you structure.
He taught you English as storage.
We’re teaching you English as a signal.
You don’t need another circle.
You need a system that burns through noise and builds confidence where shame used to live.
This is how we do it.
This is how you grow.
And this?
This is the last method you’ll ever need.
