Lista de sinónimos en inglés y tips para ganar fluidez

Para empezar, es importante saber que la fluidez no gana sólo con el buen uso de gramática o la correcta formación de palabras en inglés, sino también el uso adecuado y variado de las palabras. De hecho, si usas sinónimos en inglés denotas un alto dominio de la lengua y tus interlocutores te lo van a agradecer. Sea para trabajar ejercicios del First, aprobar pruebas como la habilitación lingüística o saber hacer el writing o speaking del Trinity, lo que necesitas tener en mente es mantener siempre un registro alto en tu léxico. Por ejemplo, una de las maneras más fáciles de conseguirlo es usando conectores en inglés o evitando el uso de las típicas palabras como el VERY.

En resumidas cuentas, el truco para ganar fluidez en inglés es usar sinónimos o conectores de forma constante y variada en clases de conversación. Sin embargo sólo hablarás como un nativo si repites y practicas tu conversación y redacción. En el Salón de Idiomas tenemos clases intensivas de conversación en las que la meta es hablar únicamente con palabras clave.

A continuación te dejamos un listado de sinónimos en inglés. Recuerda que si conoces algún sinónimo más, siéntate libre de dejar tu comentario para que podamos ampliar nuestra lista.
