Transform Your Vocabulary in 60 Seconds ⚡️

Beginner Level | February 25, 2026

Read the article aloud on your own or repeat each paragraph after your tutor.

Most busy professionals want a bigger English vocabulary… but they don’t have time for long study sessions. Here’s the good news: you can transform your vocabulary with a tiny daily habit that takes 60 seconds.

Think of it like brushing your teeth. You don’t do it for an hour. You do it every day—and it adds up. Vocabulary works the same way.

Today you’ll learn a simple 60-second method that you can use at work, at home, or even while you wait for coffee.

The 60-Second Method to Transform Your Vocabulary

Set a timer for 60 seconds and do this:

Pick ONE useful word (a word you can use at work).
Say a simple definition in your own words.
Make ONE sentence using the word.
Ask ONE question using the word.

That’s it. One word. One sentence. One question. This is a quick win.

A Quick Example (Work-Friendly)

Word: deadline

Definition: the last day or time to finish something.

Sentence: “The deadline is Friday.”

Question: “What’s the deadline for this task?”

If you do this every day, you will slowly transform your vocabulary without stress.

Make It Stick (10-Second Review)

At the end of the day, take 10 seconds and say your word one more time.

You can even “circle back” to it tomorrow and use it in a new sentence. (That’s a normal business phrase that means “return to it later.”)
