If you want to introduce a new word, the best way to encourage her is to say that word to her often, in a happy/excited voice.
If she likes the word, she might eventually say it, patience is the key.

If you want her to learn a word in context - for instance the word 'apple' when she wants apple - say the word before and whilst doing an action (ie showing/giving her apple).
