How to memorize new vocabulary faster: 9 tips ‹ GO Blog

No matter how good your grammar is, if you don’t know any words that you can use it with, you (literally) won’t get very far with your language skills: Vocabulary opens up doors to new worlds and makes learning fun and satisfying.

But expanding the range of word you know is like a diet: You have to put in some effort and there’s neither a magic trick nor a secret or one-approach-fits-all way to do it. Everyone has to find what works for them; but being patient, setting realistic goals, and rewarding yourself if you reach them are a good strategy that can be complemented with any of the following points.

A popular way to memorize vocabulary is the use of mnemonics, which are mental shortcuts that help you remember more complex concepts or words. For example, you can create associations between words: If you don’t know how to spell the words accommodation, just remember that it has two cots that need two mattresses. Or you come up with an acronym: Like, when you need to go to the STORE to buy Spaghetti, Tomatoes, Olives, Rice, Eggs. The problem is, of course, that you still have to memorize the acronym, song, or association, but with a little bit of practice, you’ll get good at coming up with creative and useful connections. And: The longer you think about acronyms or associations, the better will you remember the words that come with it.

When you’re studying abroad, you will hear and read the language everywhere and learn much faster through immersion. But you don’t have to go abroad to slowly increase the number of words you know – you can create an inspiring and study-friendly environment wherever you are: Buy magazines or books in the new language, watch movies, and cook (or just eat) the local food.

A good idea to learn more words faster is to put them in context: Instead of writing lists of random words, try to put them in sentences. That way, you know how the word is used in real life. Plus, if you come up with funny sentences, it will be easier to memorize. Depending on how you learn, you can also make drawings or find images that will complement the sentences and put the words into their natural habitat.

Speaking of context: Movies, TV shows, books, podcasts or songs are not only a great source for the most common words, they can also help you memorize the vocabulary because they always come associated with a scene, a person, or a (real-life) event. So, try to read books or watch movies in the original language (with subtitles) and figure out what the words mean. If you see or hear a phrase or sentence that you don’t understand, write it down, look it up and start memorizing it.

If you want to take language learning to the next level, leave enough space for mind maps with associated words, synonyms or antonyms. If you want to get the most out of your learning process, try not to translate the word into your native language, but instead, explain and describe it in the language you’re trying to learn.

Everyone learns differently, so if you don’t already know what works for you, try as many different ways – or a combination thereof – as possible: Flashcards, apps, lists, games, or post-its, are great ways to memorize vocabulary. The same goes for finding the right time: Some people want to set apart a specific time, others learn more spontaneously. No matter which approach you choose, be sure to get into some kind of rhythm – practice makes perfect, after all.

Just like you have to find the right tools that work for you, it’s also important to make the learning experience as encompassing as possible: Don’t just read the words from cards or lists – hear them pronounced, say them out loud yourself and write or type them. The more you make your encounter with the words an experience for all senses, the better. (Why not eat ice cream while learning what the different flavors are called?)

If you want to expand your vocabulary because you want to work at a marketing firm abroad, you probably don’t have to read Shakespeare’s novels or focus on words that pertain to the Middle Ages. The more practical and popular the words are for your career, hobbies and real-life conversations, the easier they are to learn – and you will be able to use them more often. (This can be like a game: You can reward yourself every time you used a certain word in a real-life conversation.)

Remember to not just repeat current words, but also the “old stuff” that you think you’ve memorized already. You don’t have to look at the stored words as often as the new vocabulary, but the more you use the words, the better you’ll remember and recall them.

How to learn vocabulary words easily and with pleasure?

We are starting a series of letters dedicated to the Russian language, literacy, beautiful handwriting, teaching Russian to children.

And today we will talk about how to quickly and effectively learn vocabulary words. They, like the multiplication table, must be learned.

But if there are only 100 examples in the multiplication table, then at least 800 vocabulary words are studied at school. Usually, "difficult" and "difficult" children are given for independent memorization, or memorization with their parents.

We present to your attention little tricks on how to remember the spelling of vocabulary words

We divided them into classical methods, this is how they work with vocabulary words at school, and techniques for effectively memorizing words

Classical ways of memorizing vocabulary words

1. Reading words of a child. Write dictionary words into a dictionary

2. Explain the meaning of the word (if the child does not know the meaning of the word, use the dictionary) and say the possible reasons for writing the word in this way.

3. Spelling work on the word:
- setting the stress, highlighting the difficult letter in green,
- sound-letter analysis of the word,
- dividing the word into syllables and for transfer.

4. Learning the spelling of a given word:
- selection of words with the same root,
- compilation of a phrase, sentence with this word,
- selection of synonyms, antonyms, riddles, sayings with a given word.

5. Recording a word in a spelling dictionary.

6. Writing from memory

Techniques for memorizing words using effective learning techniques

7. Add a word or even several words to the dictionary word that you need to remember, where the letter being checked is heard very well.

For example, the word MILK. You need to remember O.

We come up with associations: a horse drinks milk from a spoon

We present this picture with the child, focusing on the fact that the spoon and the horse tell us the desired letter

8. Write down the word with your eyes closed.

After the child reads the word, he writes it down on sheets of paper while blindfolded, it is better to use felt-tip pens or bright pens.

When a word is written, it must be considered.

This exercise gives children a lot of fun, and most importantly, it involves various organs of perception of information and enhances the effect of memorizing words.

9. Compare letters with geometric shapes. A is similar to a triangle, O is a circle, E is a rectangle.

And then, add shapes to the right word or draw with them.

For example, ORANGE

You can imagine a triangular plate on which lie "strange", rectangular and triangular oranges

10. Mnemotechnical method

them into a word and linking them into a bright association

What does this mean?

Remember, A-bus, B-drum, etc.

For example, we need to remember how to write ORANGE correctly

Imagine a Bus (A) full of Oranges that is stuck or hanging on Spruce (E)

.

Each word on a separate strip. Printed in large print. The child is shown the word for one second. And then he writes it down from memory. For one game, you can show 5-8 words.

Such a game develops attentiveness and increases interest in learning.

This Thursday there will be a free seminar where we will practice these and other powerful vocabulary memorization techniques.

You will learn:

• What to do when there are a lot of words, but soon a dictation?
• How to quickly remove errors in vocabulary words before the exam (VPR, OGE, USE)
• What should be done to memorize doubled consonants, or what should be done when there are several spellings in a word?
• What other effective methods of memorizing words are there?
• How to quickly learn to write correctly?

Indeed, in the age of Internet communication, the first impression of a person is created precisely by how competently he writes.

We will analyze the best strategies to improve literacy in training - How easy is it to remember vocabulary words?

In practice, we will work out the spelling of the top 50 most difficult words in the Russian language

And participants in the Premium version will also receive handouts - Lists of vocabulary words by class in a form convenient for practicing technology

You can register for the seminar here>>

In April we will hold 7 more similar programs, 3 free and 4 paid

Detailed schedule, as well as a special promotion for April in our group - https://vk. com/ rkirilina?w=wall-84297351_4208

How to learn vocabulary words - NAUMENOKO

There are many words in Russian that are not pronounced the way they are written. To write correctly this or that word, a person, in particular a student, needs to know the various spelling rules.

But there are words whose spelling cannot be verified. Such words were separated into a separate group and were called dictionary words.

There are quite a lot of such words.

Passing through elementary school, of course, only part of these words. Usually at the end of each textbook on the Russian language there is a small spelling dictionary in which you can find the necessary minimum of words that the child needs to remember during the school year.

Some teachers prefer to keep their spelling dictionaries with students, dividing dictionary words into any groups according to various criteria.

But one way or another, the groups of vocabulary words for each year of primary school are roughly the same.

The main thing is that vocabulary words, like the multiplication table, must be known by heart!

The work of memorizing the correct spelling of vocabulary words is difficult and painstaking, and it continues from year to year, starting from grade 1.

You can memorize vocabulary words using various methods. There is no universal approach here. Whoever likes it. But oral memorization is undesirable. Must be written work.

If a child has difficulty memorizing vocabulary words, then it is necessary to use a variety of methods that will include different types of memory and attention.

Methods for memorizing dictionary words

1. The child must understand the lexical meaning of the memorized word. Check it out.

2. Spelling work on the word:

• stressing,
• highlighting a difficult letter in green,
• sound-letter analysis of the word,
• dividing a word into syllables and for hyphenation.

3.

• spelling of a dictionary word under dictation;
• selection of single-root words;
• making phrases with this word;
• making sentences with this word;
• selection of synonyms, antonyms, riddles, sayings with the given word.

4. Composing a story from a group of vocabulary words.

5. Using the method of associations.

One of the most effective methods of memorizing vocabulary words. The difficult spelling of a dictionary word is associated with a vivid associative image that is remembered when writing this word, helping to write the spelling correctly. A well-chosen word-association becomes a test for a difficult and previously unverifiable dictionary word.

What associative image will be effective?

1. An associative image must necessarily be associated with a dictionary word by some common feature.

For example, an associative link can be:

• color;
• location;
• uniform;
• sound;
• action;
• taste;
• material;
• intended use;
• quantity, etc.

2. An associative image or word must have in its spelling an undoubted letter that is dangerous in a dictionary word.

Memory word example:

• Lemon - sour, orange - sweet, guys - children
• Gazeta - paper, pocket - hole, concert - note, choir
• Plant - pipe, ship - white
• cabbage - hare, pencil - line , paper, dog - tail

An example with pictures:

• in the word peas, in place of the memorized letter, you can draw a pea that looks like the letter “O”, and when writing the word “appleOkO”, in place of the letters “O”, depict round apples, in the word "Lunch" replace the letter "O" with a plate.

A child will remember a dictionary word better if he comes up with a link-association on his own!

If it doesn't work, then you can use ready-made drawings, but it is not desirable.

6. For better memorization, you can come up with various tasks.

For example, you can not just write words from dictation, but divide words into groups. Distribution can be:

• by birth;
• by numbers;
• by declination;
• by parts of speech;
• with unchecked vowels A, O, E, I;
• animate or inanimate objects;
• with an unchecked unstressed vowel;
• double consonant, etc.

7. A way of writing words with eyes closed.

The child is given the following instruction (do everything with closed eyes.)

• Close your eyes, imagine this word written in a book.
• Spell him.
• Make the "dangerous" letter blink. What letter is flashing?
• Read slowly as you write.
• Write down this word 5 times, each time say out loud what you write.

This exercise gives children a lot of fun, and most importantly, it involves various organs of information perception and enhances the effect of memorizing words.

8. Photographer Eye Game

The words are printed on strips of paper.

Each word on a separate strip. Printed in large print. The child is shown the word for one second. And then he writes it down from memory. For one game, you can show 5-8 words.

Such a game develops attentiveness, increases interest in learning.

9. Game "Find words"

Two dictionary words are hidden in each line. Find them and underline them with a colored pencil.

For example:

0023 JU D F L D U C E B N I C A M E S I C G A S S O C O M O L O C O T B
T L I S I C A P L E N O PET U H A T A E C H T M O R O Z

I T O N G D E J U R N Y S U B O T A
CLOTHES AND P A R A P A L T O S
