How to study
1. Break It Down
- Divide into Smaller Chunks: Instead of tackling the entire list at once, break it into smaller sections (e.g., 10-20 words each). Smaller groups are easier to manage and memorize.
- Set Daily/weekly Goals:Assign specific chunks to each day. For example, if you have 100 words, you might study 20 words a day for five days.
2. Use Flashcards
- Create Flashcards: Write the word on one side of a card and the definition on the other. You can use physical flashcards or apps like Anki or Quizlet.
Wordlist 1.13. Use the Words in Context
- Make Sentences: Write your own sentences using the new words. This helps you understand how the word is used in context, making it easier to remember.
4. Engage Multiple Senses
- Speak the Words: Read the words and their definitions out loud. This helps reinforce the memory through auditory learning.
- Write by Hand: Writing words by hand, instead of typing, can improve memory retention. You can write out definitions, sentences, or even just the words repeatedly.
5. Use Technology
- Apps and Tools: Use language-learning apps like Duolingo, Memrise, or Quizlet to practice vocabulary in a more interactive way.
