sometimes you would recall a word (that are familiar to you) but soon forget it when not used. I suggest you follow Peachey's advise. try to analyze a taxi driver. how do you think they suppose to know and remember a route if they haven't been there or seldom to drive in that place? :)

Backward and forgotten? How do you remember them? I hope I understood right: basically you'll remember words through using them, playing with them, and grouping them together (ie. you give them a context of when to use them, and with which other words).

what the ?
