Answer

Use association. When I was learning spanish in school I had the same problem. When using association, think of how the word relates to the word. How it sounds, similarities to your native language, or even similiar to objects. This really helps because sometimes it can give a visual reference to something you already know. 

Good luck.

Click onto all the programs on the top of the page, do the exercises, then go up to find a language partner & email one of the native speakers to arrange a time on skype or msn.
