At times, learning English can be terrible, with so many new words to take in. We need to use special ways. Here are a few of our favorites:

①                 

You cannot expect to remember all the words after just one time. A better way is to make a list of all your new English words to review almost every day over the next week. This will help you turn the knowledge into your long-term memory. Jim Porter of Speekee (斯佩克的吉姆·波特), a scholar (学者), suggests keeping a vocabulary (词汇) diary as an easy way to keep remembering what you’re learning.

②                 

As you go on in your studies, you will notice that you are learning new words through the context (上下文). When reading, take notes of the words unknown to you and search for them in other texts to get a better idea of how to use the words. This will help make sure the words stay in your memory.

③                 

Create different pictures in your mind to fit different words. You can recall the word whenever you need to use the meaning. This skill is very useful to visual learners (视觉学习者).

④                 

Find songs easy to sing along with and get at least a few new words. This will both put the vocabulary into the context and provide a new way to remember vocabulary through sounds.
