Хорошая Идея
Привет сем, меня зовут Скарлетт. Я из Американка и я учусь Русский но я хачу большая проблема. I was wondering if anyone had an idea to what I can do to practice and learn more Russian words? I work full-time and can't use Skype much to learn with native people but will no longer use that as an excuse to not learning Russian as much as I want to. However, I do listen to Russian Podcasts from Russianpod101 but I'd like to know different ways if anyone has them to learn.
Спасибо!!

Привет всем, меня зовут Скарлетт. Я американка (или я из Америки), учусь русский. Но у меня большая проблема.Я из Америки = I am from Ameriсa
Я американка = I am American.
Я из Американка = I am from american woman (:
учусь = I'm studiing + somewhere (at the University)
учу = I learn something (language) or I'm learning something.
Примерно. Что посоветовать, к сожалению, не знаю.

I use Ankidroid software to learn new words. It is very popular and free.

Hi, Scarlett! Welcome to italki! Here are some tips for learning vocabulary. But remember that the choice of the right strategy for learning depends on the type of memory you have.
1. Audio memory. If you have noticed that you remember what people said and how it sounded or (better) remember a word you need at the moment because you heard it in a song - try recording lists of words and listening to them when you have free time. Be artistic! Funny and specific intonations or accents will trick brain into memorizing the word.
2. MindMap. Try creating a mindmap. This way you you can put the words in a logical order (create thematican categories). A mindmap is also easier to handle than a stack of papers.
here's a site for creating free mindmaps: www.mind-map.ru/
3. Drawing. If you’re good at it – do it. For example draw a room and mark the word for everything you’ve drawn. Or you can buy a visual dictionnary or create your own.
4. Movies. Make you use the vision, the hearing and provides a situation. You can find films in Russian subtitled in Engilsh here : http://english-films.com/
4. Build sentences. Learning words one by one is no use. Use your knowledge of grammar to combine words into sentences. Once again make them funny.
Also
- Try to find some associations : the word may sound funny or be similar in spelling with a word of your language. Try to think of something funny. The brain is better at remembering jokes than lists of words.
- Don't note the translation when you encounter the word for the first time. Give yourself a chance to remember it next time you go back to revising.
If you're not sure which one to choose (and that is 100% okay) - you can use several ways of learning at once.
Hope these are helpful :) Good luck!

About memorization, I know it's not the best way to learn since it's just separate words and not entire sentences so you know the correct grammar, conjugation, etc. but I will look into grammar books. Actually, I've wanted to have a Russian book or a translation of one of my favourite books into Russian to see them in more action but thank you for your help K P c:

Sorry, I read your profile only after having this sent.:) I thought, your problem is basic vocabulary:) well... 'truly learn'...? Then native speakers and audiobooks:))) And grammar books and everything. I also believe: if you have never been doing something, then chances are you'll benefit more from this than from what you _normally_ do.
