Reading and watching films are two great ways! Here are some methods that can help you to memorize new words: - establish a routine; for example, every day try to learn 5 new words or everyday revision - keep a vocabulary notebook - use a dictionary (Eng-Eng) - write a synonym or antonym - write a word's pronunciation in the phonetic script - write the past form for irregular verbs, exceptions for nouns in plural, or any other specific information about a new word - find google images instead of translating directly, in order to have a visual association with a particular word - draw the meaning if possible - highlight new words in the text - visualize - repeat silently and then aloud - write a sentence using the new word - mind maps
