tape them to the fridge, or the wall. Put them on a piece of paper on your desk, and everytime you go downstairs or go to get a drink of water, you take 2 minutes to look over them again. That's how I would study for French vocabulary quizzes in school. I would look at them every hour or so, just to jog the memory, at various times throughout the day.

Well..something I do to remember words in a different language is associate them with things I am familiar with. For example, I'm learning Korean and I used to have trouble remembering the numbers. To remember the number 8 (pal), I thought about how an 8 looks like two zeros. The two zeros look like pals because they're always together. Another example is a Korean word for shoe (shinpal). Shoes are shin pals. They're your shins' buddies. Just associate the words with things that you know. Another thing to do is to write the words you want to remember down over and over and over. It will eventually get stuck in your mind whether you want it to or not if you keep writing it. You can also find a word you want to remember and do this before going to sleep: Think about the word and what it means for a couple minutes. Then, go back to doing whatever you want to do. When five minutes have passed, think about the word and its meaning again. Go back to whatever you want to do. After ten minutes, do the same thing again. Just keep doing that for however long. Just keep adding five minutes to the time you do whatever you want. (Read a book, listen to music, clean your room, etc. whatever) then, go to sleep. It's important to do this before you sleep because while you sleep, your brain works and thinks about all you did that day and it stores the information. That's why sleep is important. Sleep helps you absorb the information.

Use an online flashcard system such as Anki or another good one is by Khatzumoto at alljapaneseallthetime.com called Surusu. Make sentences to learn words in context, and then refresh your memory by drilling the sentences that you have made. Hope this helps you.
