you can practice it with your friends
you can also make notecards - cards for definition and cards for the vocab. Then you can play a game and match them. |
Yes, you can to practice with your friends, or you also can to practice with people speaker native Spanish, I feel that is more effective if you practice with people of Mexico or Spain, good, I wish you the best in your learning.

;) overall very good! Not many mistakes :) |
Yeah.

also you can do this - make some notecards with the vocabulary word on the front and definiton and/or translation in English and/or Spanish on the back. When you write down all the words, you can play a game. you can either do it yourself, or have a friend or family member do it. Here's how:
You, a friend, or family member take a card from the pile. Ask what is the translation in English and/or Spanish of the word and/or the definition. If you get it right, put the card in one pile. If wrong, put it in another. Do you understand? :) Good luck with remembering your new vocab! |
To help me out with learning vocabulary in Spanish I bought an activity book with rather basic translation activities. I generally photocopy some pages out of this book and give a friend of family member 5-6 copies of the same page and tell them to readminister this activity sheet at random intervals and at random times so I can become familiar with the vocab and make sure I remember the vocab so I don't screw up on an activity sheet. I currently have very limited Spanish vocab but this strategy was quite helpful for me when I learned French. (Je suis billangue maintenant ^.^)

I recommend you, if you can chat with someone at the internet, I tell you, because I have learnt so much with my friends here at this forum.
|
The best way for me is to use the words in sentences, or just as much as you can. I've been on this forum for a few days now and can say that I've already learned many new words and sayings. I will remember them because I use them when I am in my spanish class in school.

But. It has to be a book (theme) that you really like. If you already read a book that you really, reeeeaaally loved, then look for it in Spanish, and start doing. Hernan |
Ooh, excellent thread! I just got so many great ideas to fight stagnation and boredom with my learning tools of choice. ¡Muchos gracias todos!

For me, memorizing the words to songs and singing them ad inifinitum really helps to solidify vocabulary. I have quite a bit of music en Español with lyrics - I try to memorize the words enough to sing along. Then I have it. Most of the words I have learned this way never leave.
|
Yes. I agree with you. I like so much to music at English. Sometimes I try to singing them at the same time I try to learn as is it pronunciation. And also I try to learn the word. Of this way of learning I have learnt much and the words never leave my mind. So I think that the best to way of learn the English is improving the English with someone or if you can speak with the American people.
|
One thing that really helps me is that when I learn a new word, I try to picture the thing if I can, instead of the word in english. For example, if I were learning the word "manzana" instead of thinking "Apple, apple, manzana, apple" over and over again, I would try to picture as many kinds of apple as I could while thinking the word manzana.
That helps me because it makes it easier to think in the language because when I see an apple, no matter what language I'm using, I can think "manzana", you see? |
Yes. I can understand your methods to learning. But I feel that it's a few harder to do at least some many persons can to do it and other not. If I try to picturing me the word or relation with some object the word it would can confusing me. I think that hence you can learn the words as example you can read the threads wrote for all us in both languages.
But if you feel that is easier your method to learn the language then it's ok. |

Vocabulary can be guessed, grammar must be learned and committed to memory. A hippie-like "just go with it, man" attitude is like walking through a maze without a map. Eventually you'll figure out where to go, but a map makes it easier to make sense of the confusion. Also, Anki kicks butt; it saves your progress.
