A long list of words
 

I must study a long list of words (almost 3000). I'd like to know if there is a good method to study them. I'm a bit desperate. I'm trying with mnemotecnics, but there are so many! :sad: :crazy:

Write the list, and re-write it.

3000 words with their meanings and their definitions?! :eek:

I'll become mad, I'm sure. :crazy:

I'll go mad (but I bet you won't) :D

I know - I'll test you on your words by PM, and you pay me 10 euros for each one you get wrong. There is nothing like incentive to learn quickly. :D

Irma ¿cuál tipo de palabras son?

La sugerencia de bob es que debes escribir una oración completa por cada palabra. Incluye la palabra en la oración, y trata de definar la palabra en la oración

lista de palabras
1) Mechanic
2) Organism
3) Polygon

y ejemplos con las definaciones en azul

1) The mechanics worked on the cars all night, using their knowledge of the machines to fix them.

(Mechanics are people with knowledge of machines)

2) There are many interesting organisms in the deep sea, and they all live in harmony.

(Organisms are things that are alive or living)

3) I once had a math test about polygons, I had trouble naming the polygons with many sides like tetrahedron.

(a polygon is an object classified by the number of sides that it has)


¿Ves cómo escribí las palabras en una oración y incluí una definición básica también? , así puedo practicar los significados de las palabras y el lugar adecuado en la oración :). Es difícil para aprender por escribir solamente la definición , se debe poner la palabra en una oración y definirlo al tiempo mismo :)


3000 palabras es mucho, ¿Cuánto tiempo tienes para aprenderlas?

Espero que te sirva ;)

I prefer Bob's solution :p. It's free :D

Pero tú no eres tonto, no. ;) :D

Todo tipo de palabras: adjetivos, verbos (con sus phrasal, ¡cómo no!), sustantivos, etc.

Tengo hasta mayo. Tendría que saberme ya la mitad, pero todavía no he aprendido ni eso. :sad:

This is a good method, Bob. :applause: :)

I have written a little computer program in MS Access - I create a table of words and translations, and the program will ask me random words. If I get them right, the words disappear from the list. If I get them wrong, they come up twice later, and if I get them wrong again, four times, then eight. This works for me, but this doesn't really help. :(

It will help you if you make it for you to write the word and its def.

Too much typing, but yes, that would be better if the word is completely new.

Exactly.

Besides, it should be new, else why the exercise? :rolleyes:
