Abstract

Abstract: English is widely used over the world. In English, there are some aspects that must be mastered as well namely grammar, pronounciation, and vocabulary. Vocabulary is one of aspects that must be mastered, because before we are able to speak, write, and listen, the vocabulary is the first thing we have to master before grammar. However, in learning vocabulary, the students still face difficulties. For example, they always have problems in knowing, memorizing, and understanding the new words. Therefore, the media that used in learning will surely help the students understand the lesson well. Besides, they can also learn English in a more effective and interesting way.
