The first useful tactic to learn vocabulary I used, I presume all of you did, is the Porter Book. I did all the exercises from unit one to unit six. I looked up every single vocab that was unfamiliar to me and wrote it down in my "Vocab Notebook". Moreover I wrote out specific collocations and example sentences.
I used two tactic of writing important words out. The first was writing everything down manually in my vocab book.
This, however turned out to be very time consuming. This gave me idea of writing everything down in a word document on my laptop. It turned out to be the perfect solution because I have my laptop always with me and I am able to revise the vocabulary on the go.
Another useful help I discovered is an application for smart-phones. It is called gFlash+ which makes it possible to turn a google spreadsheet with your vocabulary into small and handy flashcards on your phone. This is an even better way to learn and revise vocabulary whenever and wherever you want because one thing you will never forget to take along when walking out of the house is your phone,
Hey Monika,
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog post about studying vocabulary and I agree with you: Writing down vocab into a (real) notebook is very time consuming. Therefore, I also used my laptop to create my own vocabulary lists because I'm still a bit old fashioned, I guess, but I like to hold something in my hands when I study vocabulary and I can print the lists created on my laptop... For me, this is also the best way to learn vocabulary. But maybe I will also have a try with this flash card application that you recommend... because it's true, if I have one thing with me, it's my phone.
Enjoy your Christmas holidays! :)
