 * E-HOW to make your very own 'Personal Dictionary'**
 * 1) Start with a blank notebook
 * 2) Write a letter of the alphabet on each page starting with A, B, C, etc.
 * 3) Whenever you come across (hear, read, etc) a new word, idiom, collocation, or expression, write it down in your PD (Personal Dictionary).
 * 4) For example: Page A - Apple, (noun), red fruit that grows on trees
 * 5) When you hear an idiom or collocation with that word, add it to your 'notes'.
 * 6) For example: Page B - Book, (noun), (idiom) "You can read me like a book" (means I can't hide my feelings)
 * 7) Also, some words have different meanings in different contexts.
 * 8) Write sentences using the word in different forms and using different definitions.
 * 9) Practice: before you go to bed at night, try to read your words and phrases from your "Personal Dictionary".
 * 10) The use your new expressions 'on the street.'
 * 11) Finally, BRAVO, tell us all how it went !

__ **My Personal Dictionar** __ y

When I started to learn English language I did my first personal dictionary.It was almost three years ago. I bought 120 pages notebook.I cut a little the right edge of each page. On the remaining pieces of the edges I wrote all letters in alphabetical order. I left a few blank pages between each letter. I was satisfied with my work because I could see every letter and I could fast find suitable pages. I wrote every word that I didn't understand and I wrote its pronunciation and of course its meaning in Polish language. Sometimes I wrote this word with collocations and idioms. First I don't know many English words and my dictionary has many pages full. I noticed that I made a terrible mistake. I looked at real dictionary and I noticed that every language has different number of words starting in certain letters. English language has the most words starting with the letter "s". I had a problem because I hadn't any blank pages left for new words with the first letter "s". I bought the same second notebook and I used glue and paste in new pages. Now my personal dictionary is very thick and full. Probably I must buy a new notebook. Anyway I think how many words from the dictionary I remember? I noticed that sometimes I have to check in my dictionary the meaning of a word many times. I would say my memory is not very good.
