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:

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 |

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 ;) |

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. :(

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

--- If writing the word in a sentence while defining it at the same time on paper with pencil the mind has 3 references to associate the word to. 1. the hand movements of actually writing the word, will help with remembing how to spell the words (one doesn´t achieve this by typing it) 2. The use of the word and it´s placement in the sentence. You will be able to recall the word in the sentence and be able to better remember it´s placement / use 3. The basic definition that you have weaved into the sentence wil of course aid in the rememberance of the meaning of the word Anyway I don´t know anything about nuerological pathways associated with learning and retaining vocabulary but this is what I´ve found out from trying different methods:) As everyoneknows the fourth and best reference that the brain can have to recall a word is attaching some sort of personal experience / situation to it, that´s why it´s so effective to be emerged in a language. You can practice definitions and sentences all day but the truth is that if you use a word wrong and someone laughs, you´re going to use that word correctly from now on because you´re going to think about that situation everytime you use the word . Espero que os lo haya explicado bien y te resulte en mucho aprendizaje :) |
I like the idea of the database. :) And writing... I never write, I always type! :thinking:
But maybe you're right, Bob. :) |

That reminds me the words a psychologist told us once in a course I did: to get an habit you must repeat something consciously 30 or 35 times. |
