How To Review More Than 300 English words?

Posted by Nafis on March 12, 2011 in English HELP

 

Dear Friends,

 

During these years that I have been studying English, I collected more than 300 words of English. I wrote every words down on a piece of squared paper. On one side, I wrote the meaning with a sentence and the other side, the word itself. Now, I have a pile up of English vocabulary which I don't know how I can review them. How do you review your growing list of vocabulary? Any suggestion?

 

Thanks,

Cheers,

Nafis

    Try index cards. You can mix them up, select the words that you have trouble with and omit words you are comfortable with.

      Dear Nastya, Thanks a million times for your great advice and encouragement. I need it really! Thanks a lot..when it comes to vocabulary, I really have problem, however, I try to do what you mentioned here. I also think pictures are great way to memorize a word. I also like to write a story using my new vocab but the problem is I think too much what story I should write!! Maybe I should take it easy and just use the words.

    Hello Nafis, Zahra, Anele, Nazie and Valentine,

     

     

    I try making a study map; I hope,  All the tips could have been gathered.

     

     

    1-We should deal with the new vocab in way of root words. (Anonim) 


    2-Derivation and pref&suff ixes, (Nazie)

     

    3-Think smilarly with some codes and use your imagination to remember. (Anonim)

     

    4-remember,  resembles,    remarkable,   reminds, I have already four word in one sentence (in Zahra blog) . This is a good example.

     

    5- Try to write scripts more quickly. Do not pause on words and structure too much.(Zahra) improve it later.

     

    6-  Make it a habit to read before you go to bed and after you wake up in the morning. (Anele)

     

    7-  Use Theasurus (Anele)

     

    8-  STEM , ASSOSIATION and  MNEMONIC are secret words (Nazie, Valentine and anonim )

     

    9- "LISTENing, READing, USing"  Do it over and over again.

     

    In case of forgetting about mentioned some good advice, please accept my apologies. This is really good workshop became to me and others like me.  Grateful to Nafis.

    Hello Nazie,

     

    We cannot acquire such a useful information even if paying money for it.

     

    Thank you all of you,

    Hi Zahra,

    Good solution, I do the same thing time to time 

    but  I prefer to be organised visually so I make flash cards initially,

    I will be on it realisingly,

    To sum up, to stay in conceptual is very effective way,

    Have a nice day,

      Thank you dear Nazie,

      I really love the very important point you mentioned. Thankssssss a lot.

      To know the root of the words is very very very effective in remembering the words. In one of my TOEFL classes, we had such lessons and it was very very useful and interesting. I love it so much.

      Thanks a lot for sharing this GREAT point.

      Have a very very beautiful time

      :)
