Any language student knows that learning and remembering new vocabulary words are two totally different things. It’s easy to remember words for a short time, but then we forget them even faster than we learn them. It’s a huge problem and it slows down our learning a lot. To make sure that you never forget a new word, you need to do a few things.
1. Understand the real meaning of the word and when to use it. If you only have a general idea about a word’s meaning, you will not remember it for long. It will be pushed to the back of your brain never to be found again. You won’t have it ready when you need it during a conversation. You must study some useful sentences for each new word.
2. Listen, listen, listen. This product that we made on the website is perfectly designed to get you to hear the same words over and over again. You will hear them used in different ways and this will help train your brain to get a deeper meaning of the word. There are different levels of understanding a new word or phrase. It’s not as simple as; “Do you know this word or not?”. I think that if you can’t use it yourself in writing and speaking, then you really don’t know the word at all. It’s almost the same.
3. Get a good software teaching program. I have seen hundreds of them and Ultimate Vocabulary is by far the best. If you are serious about improving your vocab for speaking, making more money in a better job, passing some test, traveling, or any normal reason really, I highly recommend you get this. Many of my buddies from different countries are using it and their improvement in both writing and speaking is amazing. I don’t believe things easily because there are so many tricks on the internet. I just know this one is really helpful because I have seen the results with my own eyes and heard the results with my own ears.

I’ve given this a lot of thought and it’s not an easy one actually. I could give a lot of simple advice about different methods for improving English vocabulary that you probably already know but I don’t want to waste your time with that. I want to actually help you learn and remember. If you are learning new words and not remembering them, a very common problem, then you aren’t learning at all and you certainly haven’t found the best way.
Here is the thing. You really need to know and understand yourself and your personality. You need to know your own learning style and your strengths and weaknesses. You need to know what you like and what you find boring.
I personally like a combination of reading and listening. You probably already know that I learned Chinese by myself ie. I learned online instead of in a classroom. That was one of the main reasons that Add and I made this website. We knew it was actually possible to learn online. I found it fun. I think that was the main reason I kept studying.
Learning from dictionaries is a total waste of time and effort. You will only get at your “short term memory”. You might be able to remember words for a while but you will forget them after a very short while. If you can’t use what you learned in daily life, then you really didn’t learn at all if you are being totally honest with yourself.
I can give you a couple of tips that I think everyone can benefit from. Before I do that let me tell you about the coolest learning software program for vocab. I’ve personally seen over 10 friends use it and ALL of them improved a lot: Ultimate Vocabulary
1. Make sure you are learning the words that you want to actually use. If you don’t use the word in your own language than you won’t use it in a new language. Pay very close attention when you find some new word interesting.
2. You need quality examples of how to use the words in real sentences. If you don’t have these, you will forget fast. One reason that this podcast should help is that we use the same words over and over again. It will help the words “sink into” your brain. This process will make it much easier when it comes to speaking later.
3. Make sure you know what the new words are and how to spell them. This last one is very important and it’s something that I haven’t been great with to be honest. I don’t think spelling is as important as many people do. For example, it doesn’t matter if a word has 2 L’s or one. The important thing is that you know the necessary parts of each word. Native speakers make spelling mistakes all the time. But English learners very often make mistakes that show they really have no idea what the word is.
Let me give you an example of what I mean. There are thousands of examples but this one is a good one I think.
Let’s use the word “Character“. I think most people know how to spell this but a native speaker might make a mistake and think the word is “Karacter“ The second spelling is totally wrong but at least it shows that the speaker knows how the word should sound. A new learner might think the word is “Charater“. It almost looks correct but there is no “c” in the middle of the word. If you actually think that is the spelling, your pronunciation will be really bad. People won’t understand what you are trying to say. You will keep making mistakes over and over again until you finally learn the basic idea of the word. I hope this is making sense.
