How can I improve my Spanish vocabulary fast? Cómo pudo mejorar/incrementar mi vocabulario español rapido? So I can read better without much difficulty? I am freaking out. :( I am writing a Spanish provincial exam next week and the reading passages are really hard. I don't know about 30-60% of the words, depending on what passaje I get. Though I did a few mock/practice exams, I had to read very slowly and got stuck many times. I only have less a week, so what can I do to get the best out of myself???
