Explicação:

Lembre-se de que os substantivos ou nomes constituem o léxico de  uma língua, ou seja, o seu vocabulário. E a melhor maneira de se adquirir  vocabulário de uma língua estrangeira é ter contato com o uso cotidiano  dessa língua, como, por exemplo, lendo livros e artigos de revista, seguindo  blogs, assistindo a filmes (legendados) e programas de TV (de língua inglesa) etc., tornando-se, assim, mais proficiente para compreender os textos e vídeos em inglês.
