Cat, dog, bag - such vocabulary is easy to remember even for the smallest children. In fact, three-letter words in English are much more interesting and colorful. African portal Yan (yes, in Ghana official language- English) published a selection of 12 short words that are not so often used in everyday speech - and therefore may surprise you.
Knowing such vocabulary is useful if you want to beat your friends in or another game where you need to make words. You can, at the most unexpected moment, flaunt in front of your friends some word that they hardly heard.
1.Ait
A small island in a lake or river. For example, you can say: "River Thames' Ait gives a beautiful view"(“There is a beautiful view from the islet on the Thames”).
2.Fie!
This is an exclamation that shows disgust and anger. Something like the Russian "Ugh!". For example: "" Fie!" He sighed after seeing the mess the dog had caused"(“Ugh!” he gasped when he saw the mess after the dog.)
3. Mim
Deliberately quiet, shy and modest. For example: "Jane is a mim housewife who loves her family"("Jane is a shy housewife who adores her family").
4. Yad
Jewish sign (pointer from the Torah). Hand with outstretched index finger. Used in the synagogue. Example: "Ibrahim used the yad to follow the text on the scrolls during the Torah reading"("Ibrahim used a sign to highlight the text on the scroll while reading the Torah").
5. Wis
It's an old word that means "to know" or "to trust." For example: "So, you wis, Margaret is a wicked person"("So you know that Margaret is immoral").
6. Vug
A small depression in the rock with mineral crystals. For example: "It has now been established that vug fillings are in the nitrate deposits of the Atacama Desert of Chile"(“It has been established that mineral pits are now found in nitrate deposits in the Atacama Desert in Chile.”)

The success of studying any foreign language based on:
- conscientious study of grammatical foundations;
- regular replenishment of vocabulary;
- practical application of theoretical knowledge.

How to memorize new words quickly?
"Brevity is the sister of talent" - this expression best characterizes the section of the lexicology of the English language. Many words have multiple meanings. And if in Russian, you can count words consisting of three letters on your fingers, then in English there are more than enough of them. But here the question arises, how to remember them and not get confused?
- learn words consciously, do not try to memorize them;
- use cards with images and transcription;
- repeat learned lexemes regularly;
- in the process of memorizing words, make sentences with them.
If you follow these simple rules, you will see how the speed of memorizing words will increase. According to statistics, an adult can memorize up to 20 lexemes per day. Don't try to learn as much as you can, you can just as quickly forget. Remember: "Quality is better, not quantity."
