Tips for Remembering New Words
It is out of the question that learning a foreign language is one of the basic skills for most people
in the world. While trying to learn a foreign language, remembering new words plays a key role.
More and more people want to learn effective ways of remembering new words. Here are some
tips to help remember new vocabulary:
• Keep a vocabulary notebook. It will remind you not only the words you have already learned
but also their meanings. Look at the words again after 24 hours, after one week and after one
month. This will pass the new words on to your long-term memory.
• Read a lot and as often as possible so that you can see the new words more times and remember
them easily.
• Try to use the new words in your sentences. It is believed that you may need to use a new word
about ten times before it becomes a member of your word power.
• Do word puzzles and play word-based games. Crosswords, anagrams and word searches are
good examples.
• Make word cards and keep them with you. Even when you are traveling, sitting at a cafeteria
or on a park bench, it becomes possible for you to look at and remember them.
• If you have a smart mobile device, download and use online or offline dictionaries. They will
be of help with both meaning and pronunciation. As for vocabulary apps, ask your teachers
for help and make sure that the app is a beneficial one.
• Talk to friends about new words as it may be more fun and easier to learn.
• Learn a few words but not too many at a time. About eight to ten new words a day is a good
number. There is not a certain number, though.
