How to learn and remember vocabulary


Well Lucy

quick question

Why did you use the bathroom?

As your main example

In this entire video

Look, do not worry about that

He would be fine

If you ask language teachers

How do I develop my vocabulary?

They might say something similar to

Reading books

Watch movies

Speak with native speakers

Practice vocabulary

Repetition, repetition, tkaraar!

These are all valid points!

When I learn Spanish

I was able to expand my vocabulary incredibly

This is a style I have created for myself

This method may already exist

But I identified my needs and created a solution

I needed something I could do

Little by little

Day after day

I will explain to you how you can do this method too

My style will help you train your brain

Start thinking about the following language

if. What is the first step

OK. When you wake up in the morning

You need somehow to remind yourself

Today I will search for words I do not know before

continuously!

So if you put a sticker on your door

Note on the fridge

Reminder on your phone

Anything to remind you today

new words!

So, since you left the house

You need to be attentive

For words you do not know

Try to start thinking about the language you are learning

In my Spanish case

So I think in Spanish

I see a pigeon

Well, I know that

I see the bus stop

I’m not sure I know that in Spanish

So, I go to my phone quickly

Write in English

And I forget that

I keep doing so throughout the day

So keep in touch

Do you know that in Spanish?

Yes, leave it

Do you know that in Spanish?

No, type it

You may end up with five words at the end of the day

And may end with 20 words

in the end of the day

It depends on your level and also where you are

By doing this you are exercising your mind

To get used to

Think of stuff in the second language

And will help you in fluency

Then, you create a list

In your phone

Of all the things I’ve seen all day

Which you do not know how to say

Now the most important part of this

Come when you arrive home in the evening

So, when you go home from work

Or university on this day

Need to dedicate a few minutes

A memorandum shall be established

I use Notepad for this, to

I love using two pages a day

So, I’ll write history

Write a short sentence about what you did on this day

And then go straight and take a look

On words that I did not know today

In my phone and add them to Notepad

So……

So, the word I saw today was

Dove, Express, Bus stand, Jewelry and skyscraper

I did not know how to say those words in Spanish

So, go to the next page

I look for them on the Internet

So, the first word was “Dove”

Go to my computer

Use a location as “WordRefereence”

Search for “pigeon”

Listen to pronunciation

Great..

Then add that to my notebook

One of my words was a “skyscraper”

Which I did not know

So, I will use the site ‘WordRefereence’ to search for “skyscraper”

Then listen to the pronunciation

Well, I’ll add it to my notebook

Great! Then I keep doing it

Until the list is filled

Then I have a final list

With all new vocabulary

Which I saw today

So, ideally you need to do these diary every day

Make it a part of your life

And part of your routine

So, I do it by following this process

This method

You exercise your mind

Be constantly looking and making sure

The words are known in the second language

And immediately

When you do not know

Hazzer! You write that word

And then you know you will look for it later

It ‘s interesting to look back through

Your notebooks after months of doing this

Because you see words and just think

God, I can not believe I did not know how to say it

When you wake up the next morning

After you have completed your notes the night before

You should immediately see

Skyscraper = rascacielos

Dove = paloma

You just keep going, it’s there, it’s in your mind

Once you’ve trained your mind to think and work that way

It will be much easier to capture vocabulary

Wa also to determine where your vocabulary leaks!

For many of you, it is possible not to work

Give a try

If you work I would love to hear your success stories

If you ask …..
