Vocabulary
learning
This is my second
blog post about vocabulary learning. In my first post on this topic, I have already explained in detail how to, in my opinion, learn new
vocabulary best. I thought that my vocabulary
learning strategies actually already include everything you can possibly do to remember new
words and phrases, but I was wrong.
Because I was interested in how the strategies of my colleagues look like (and because I
had to, of course), I looked at the other blog posts on this topic. By reading these partly incredibly clever ideas,
I realized that I can do much more to memorize new words permanently.
I was really amazed at how much time my colleagues invest
in learning vocabulary
and at the systems,
which lie beyond that. Besides the usual strategies such as constant repetition,
example sentences, synonyms and antonyms and so on, I
have read about a lot more
extensive and innovative methods.
One colleague, for example, uses various
vocab-learning apps for her mobile phone. An idea I would
have never come up with and very
handy when traveling or just on the road.
Another colleague works with digital flashcards. These can be made much
faster than physical ones,
and you can change them at will. Also
a great idea that would
never have occurred to me.
These are only two examples of the many great things I have read in the blog posts
of other students. I'm really glad that we have
posted our strategies on our blogs. Surely
all of us have learned something
new from reading the posts of the others and were able to improve their personal strategies.
