How to memorize English vocabulary

The methods of memorizing English vocabulary are as follows:

1, directly strengthening memory Directly strengthening memory means remembering words by "reading", which is very traditional, but it has the most users and is also very effective. Reciting words also pays attention to "practice makes perfect". Reading more and remembering more will naturally remember the meaning, part of speech and related phrase structure.

2. Remember words according to their pronunciation. First, you must know the pronunciation of words, and then you can quickly recall the spelling of words. It can be seen that pronunciation is very important in word memory.

It must be reminded that the pronunciation of words must be accurate. If the pronunciation of the word itself is not accurate, then the spelling of the word is easy to make mistakes. This method also depends on a lot of reading and accurate memory, and it is one of the most commonly used word memorization methods.

3. Word-formation mnemonic method The so-called word-formation mnemonic method refers to memorizing words by memorizing the composition of words, which is a relatively efficient memory method. Affixes can help us to know many words, so that we can draw inferences from others, and sometimes we can even see unknown words. The meaning and part of speech of words can be determined through word formation. There are ready-made vocabulary books to learn this mnemonic method.

4. Reviewing mnemonics The biggest obstacle to word memory is forgetting. According to the forgetting curve theory put forward by German psychologist Ebbinghaus, words begin to forget soon after the first memory.

Moreover, the process of forgetting is not uniform, and its basic law is fast first and then slow. This requires us to review and review the words in time after memorizing them to offset forgetting. As long as we can follow the review rules and make a good plan for word learning and review, we will certainly have good results if we stick to it.

5, reading memory method As the name implies, reading memory method refers to improving vocabulary through a lot of reading. For people with medium learning ability or above, this is a very efficient way to remember words.

By reading a lot of English materials to accumulate vocabulary, people who like reading will be very interested in the content of the materials themselves. It is very effective to remember words with interest, but this method requires a certain English foundation.
