  • Hello, everyone. Welcome back to our podcast. I'm Jennifer.

  • And I'm David. Today, we're going to talk about a common problem for many people learning

  • Englishhow to remember new words. Sometimes, we learn a new word, and then it feels like it just disappears. So, Jennifer, what do you think is a good way to remember English words?

  • Great question, David. One of the best ways to remember words is to use them a lot. When you learn a new word, try to use it right away. For example, if you learn the word happy, you could say, I am happy today. The more you use the word, the easier it is to remember.

  • That's a good point. Using words and sentences really helps. Another idea is to make connections.

  • This means linking the new word to something you already know. For example, if you learn the word cat, you might think of your own cat at home.

  • Yes. Making connections helps us remember. I also think making flashcards is helpful.

  • You can write the new word on one side and its meaning or a picture on the other side.

  • Then you can quiz yourself or have a friend help you. It's a fun way to practice.

  • Flashcards are awesome. And don't forget about using apps or online games. There are many fun apps for learning English that use quizzes and puzzles. They make studying new words exciting.

  • Absolutely. Reading in English is also a great way to learn new words. When you read books or articles, you see new words and sentences. This helps you understand how to use them.

  • That's right. Reading is a fun way to learn. Listening to English music or podcasts can help, too. When you hear words, you learn how they sound and how to use them.

  • Yes. Listening helps a lot. Speaking is important as well. If you can, talk to a friend in English.

  • If not, practice speaking out loud by yourself. This will help you remember the words better.

  • Great idea. You can even record yourself speaking. Then listen to your own voice to see how you can improve. It's also a good way to track your progress.

  • Exactly. Keeping a vocabulary journal is another helpful tip. Write down new words you learn, their meanings and sentences. You can look back at your journal to review the words you've learned.

  • I love that idea. A vocabulary journal is a great way to keep track of what you're learning.

  • And remember to be patient with yourself. Learning a language takes time, and it's okay if you forget words sometimes. Just keep practicing.

  • Yes, that's very important. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Every time you use a new word, it's a step forward. And if you forget a word, don't worry. Just look it up and try again.

  • Exactly. Also, try to use new words in different sentences. For example, if you learn the word excited, you can say, I am excited for the weekend. Or, she feels excited about her birthday.

  • This helps you understand the word better.

  • That's a great tip, David. And another way to remember is by teaching someone else the words you've learned. When you explain a word to someone, you help yourself remember it, too.

  • Yes. Teaching others is a great way to learn. And finally, have fun with your learning.

  • Make it a game. You could challenge yourself to use five new words in a day or create a story with them. The more fun you have, the easier it is to remember.

  • Absolutely. Fun is key to learning. So, to wrap up today, remember to use new words often, read and listen in English, make connections, and keep a vocabulary journal.

  • And don't forget to be patient and enjoy the process. Learning a language is a journey, and every little step counts.

  • Thanks for listening, everyone. We hope these tips help you remember English words better.

  • Yes, thank you all. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time.
