Hi, I am learning Italian and try to say the Italian words I've learnt , as I go about my day or when I'm in the supermarket, I say the Italian names for things. Sometimes I write my shopping list in Italian. The main thing, is that you have to use the words on a daily basis so that they stay in your mind. I hope this helps.

I usually try to find some connection of the new word to something that helps me remember it, a mnemonic device. For example, in trying to remember that "bulgogi" meant beef, I just thought "bull gogi", haha. It's silly, but it worked. ^_^

reading and listening

You are asking about vocabulary, well their are many ways to remember them. 1. Practice is the best. Use the word or words as often as possible. 2. Read books. Why? Many English learners just memorize the word without understanding it. When you read books, you discover new words and understand the meaning of the context not just the "word." 3. In addition, read books that you like or thet you are interested in. Other students try to memeorize words that have no practical application in their life. You are not a dictionary so, it's OK to make mistakes. 4. List the words that you want to remember or learn. Then practice them according to their use, like noun, verb, etc.

well, in english there are greek and latin root words. if you learn those, you're probably ready to deal with tons of english words.
