What has worked for me is READING.
Just read, read and read.
I never worry about memorizing the words. My goal is always to just understand the text.
For every word I meet in a text either:
1. it is a word I have never seen before, or have completely forgotten.
2. it is a word I have seen before but can't remember the meaning or pronunciation.
3. it is a word I alredy know.
As I get better at a language, the percentage of unknow words in any given text decreases.
But I don't worry about memorizing each and every word.
I only care about the text as whole.
You don't need to know every single word in a text in order to understand the text.
Rarely used words can and should be forgotten and ignored.

WHY DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 300 You are a lifesaver! It needs because you did awesome and helped me memorize EVERYTHING for school. Thank you, youtube needs more vids like this!!

[suegurney]

Thank you so much for this, Michelle !You have organised the information so well and I will really enjoy making a study of it.

Also focus is so important because if you make a mistake in your initial learning it is always more difficult to unlearn it!

Thanks for summarizing these methods- I'm already studying with ambient music to keep myself focused, and I do jot down words or phrases of interest. I need to say things aloud more often because that seems to reinforce what I'm seeing and hearing.

Thank you...I was genuinely looking for a best way to remember new words for long term and your video is genuinely relevant to my questions.Before I was culling some methods randomly without knowing how to use them but know I can say that you give me everything I wanted to know about it and it's very kind of you...thanks again

I read your overview on your site and now have come to the video....good reinforcement! And VERY helpful. Some great techniques here to try...Already know about ANKI, but it leaves me cold after awhile, so having alternatives is a real boon!! Thanks!

A lot of useful information. A huuuge thank you for these tips!! :)

[matthewzuehlke]

Thank you! That was very helpful. I have been trying to find new ways to help my students learn a language. I use flashcards, quizzlet and spaced-repetition (though I didn't know it was called that!)

[dogcat]

Very clean, easy-understood explanation

Hi Michelle, thank you for your informative video. I was really looking for techniques to expand my general vocabulary. I can easily visualize and link nouns as they are easy to form a mental image. However, can you give any tips on how one might form an image and action mnemonic to words which do not immediately form an image? Eg. seraphic, sedulous, unctuous etc. Really appreciate your video, there is a lot of valuable info I had not considered such as space repetition. Oh, and it's great to hear a fellow Aussie on YouTube too :-)

Hi Michelle, a visual language hack I saw years ago for Italian. Picture an old Roman Senator charicature shaped liked the letter C (complete with toga and olive branch crown ...). The trick was "See C say, Ssimo, Ste, Ssero!" The endings for Il Congiuntivo Imperfetto ... Cheers, Tom

Never Eat Shredded Wheat.

I never even noticed NEWS.

[paulwalther]

Never eat soggy wheat. I don’t think I needed that mnemonic but it stuck.
