This research applied a descriptive qualitative method. The data collection in this research was conducted by interviewing 7 students at the State University of Makassar as the participants in this research. The results of this research found that there are several pluses such as Google Translate and E-dictionary are the platforms most often used in understanding daily English vocabulary, finding similarities is an effective way according to students when looking for the meaning of new vocabulary.
