If they are words in a new language, I'd make flashcards -- those always work well for me. \n\nFlashcards also work well for words in your native language that are new to you.\n\nIf you are trying to memorise a poem, the best way to do that is by repetition. Say a line, repeat it over and over, say another line, repeat that with the first one, etc. Soon you will know the whole poem! \n\nGood luck! :)

read a lot of english stuff. You should have some high standard and reliable english books of your interest in your library. Reading one page daily is better than reading seven pages weekly. Listen to english news as Fox news, BBC news, CNN, bloomberg etc. Among them, BBC is the best. Listen to the english news even if you do not understand it thoroughly. Once you will get used to it, you will start getting everything. Did you ever think that how you learned your own native language? Just by hearing the people around you. So in the same fashion, you can also learn English. First of all, you need input, and only then you will be able to produce output. The more you get input, the more your output will be. Listening to english music and watching english movies can also help. Regarding vocabulary, you can build it up by starting with 3 words daily. Remove dust from your dictionary and start using it and make a separate notebook for every new word, phrase or sentence you learn. In this way, you will be able to revise all the words you have learnt. If you learn three new words daily then at the end of year, you will have learnt 1095 new words..\nWhen you read books, read it with loud voice so that you can get used to it. Pay good attention to your accent as it is your accent which impresses most of the people. There are many English CDs for improving.......\ntake care.\npleeeeeeeeeease give me 10 points!

Memorizing vocabulary is difficult.  Flash cards are good.  Or relate the word to something that is easy to remember.  Or use root words, root words are the best way to help.

Good games for testing short term memory are those like the game "Simon", where you repeat a sequence of tones associated with a flashing colored light.  The more tones you hear at the beginning of each round, the more you have remembered in your short term memory.\n\nLikewise, there is also the "matching" game, where you take an even number of cards, where two of each of the cards have the same picture on them.  You flip over one card, and then the other until you find a match.  Keep track of the times you flip over cards after finding one where you have seen its match.

I've done a lot of research on this issue. The simple answer is:\n1. Adopt good eating habbits: Eat a potato, mellon or such other stuff regularly. It deals with the physical aspects of your memory.\n\n2. Adopt good nervous habbits: This way you can do a work with dedication.\n\n3. Drink water more and more, atleast 8 glass daily.\n\n4. Sleep good enough.\n\n5. Change your reading habbits: like take every question easy....stroll through the stuff before digging into it......and make good revision routine......\n\nIs the answer sufficient?

Use it constantly.  Write with it...learn slang and colloquialisms. Online chat is a good place for that.  And keep a vocabulary list. Learn and use at least one new word every day.

write them down, say it to yourself while you're writing it down, then repeat it out loud after you're written it down, and be aware that you're trying to remember.  \n\npracticing memory skills can definatley lengthen your short term memory.

the brain holds information most effectively when that piece of information is repeatedly fed into it. \n\nso the ultimate key for memorization is REPETITION.\n\nbut there are methods that i can suggest to help make the repetition process more efficient.\n\nA. FOR A LIST OF THINGS, FACTS, FIGURES..\n1. mnemonics are very useful in memorizing. make an acronym out of the first letters of the list of things or ideas you are memorizing.\n\n2. also, imagination and association helps. for example, you are supposed to memorize this:\n\ndog\ncane\ngreen\nlady\ndress\n\nyou could somehow think of an association between these words and imagine it. you could think of a dog holding a cane meeting a lady wearing a green dress.\n\nB. FOR POEMS, SPEECHES...\n\n1. try reading the piece repeatedly. as i've said earlier, repetition is the key.\n\na. if it's a SPEECH, try grouping the sentences and memorize two sentences at a time. repeat them over and over, until you got it. then, move to the next two sentences. once you've memorized them, try reciting these sentences in order with the first two. do this until you've finally finished everything.\n\n\nb. for poems, do the same thing for the speech, this time, instead of sentences, take two lines per stanza at a time.

I would begin by practicing common words of the English language, followed by how to pronunciate them correctly. It may also be helpful to learn gestures as well, and another good rule of thumb is to practice in front of a mirror.

Listen to a lot of radio and television broadcasts.  Just have them on, don't struggle to learn each word.  You'll start to get used to the rhythms and patterns of the language.\n\nGet to a library and borrow Sesame Street, children's songs and poems.\n\nThat's how I learned Spanish (not my native tongue).  When you think about it, babies learn by repetition.\n\nEven when I don't speak Spanish for a while, I can still recall the songs and that helps me get back into practice.\n\nHave fun - English is a confusing language - so learning rhythms and patterns will take the stress out of remembering all those words.

You can\n\n- Learn the word phonetically, (E.g. "knife" "Kuh nii fuh") so that you can spell it.\n\n- Does the word look like other words, or have some relation? Often words with a similar meaning have a similar stem. (E.g. "Sad", "Sadly", "Sadness")\n\n- Does the word remind you or sound like two other words? (E.g. the childish example of "Happiness"; "A penis")\n\n- If you speak another language is the word similar to the word in your language? (E.g. "Important" is "Importante" in Spanish)\n\n- Say the word over and over while writing it, this often helps.\n\n- Learn words of similar meanings together so you can visualise which word it is close to.

for me to remember vocabulary words, i try to write down the words many times (so i could also remember the spelling) then put down the definition. from the definitions i try to make sentences. i patch the words with some of their synonyms to make them easier to understand. \n\nyou have to use those words when you want to remember them. it's always better that way. use them in essays, letters, etc. when i teach vocabulary words, the kids retain the words when i instruct them to use those words in their assignments.
