Do you panic when you hear a new word? Do you stop reading every 2 minutes to check the dictionary? Stop doing that! Constant translating kills your fluency.

In this Masterclass, Natasha teaches you how to become a Vocabulary Detective. Learn to guess the meaning of any new word using context, logic, and imagination—just like native speakers do.

🔍 What you will master in this lesson:
The "Detective" Mindset: How to stay calm and look for clues instead of panicking.
Context Clues 101: Identifying definitions, examples, and contrasts right inside the sentence.
Guessing by Mood: How to know if a word is positive or negative based on the situation (e.g., shivering, exhausted, vibrant).
Word Families: Understanding that if you know "Create," you also know "Creator," "Creative," and "Creation."
Prefixes & Suffixes Hack: How to unlock the meaning of thousands of words by learning parts like un-, -less, -ness, and mis-.
Synonym Substitution: A simple trick to test if your guess is correct.
The "Acting" Technique: How to memorize words like "giggling" or "stroll" by acting them out.

💡 Key Takeaway: You don't need to know every single word to understand the message. Trust your intuition, look for patterns, and check the dictionary later.
