There are many ways to memorize English words effectively, and here are some strategies and tips:
1.*Associative Mnemonics**:
Create images or stories to relate words to their meanings.
Construct a memory bridge of new words through known words, such as using a certain word as a basis to form new words by adding, subtracting, changing, and adjusting letters.
2.*Root affixes**:
Remembering common roots, prefixes, and suffixes and understanding how they affect the meaning of words is a way in which many English words can be disassembled and inferred.
3.*Synonym antonym mnemonics**:
Compare a set of synonyms or antonyms together with memories, such as hear-listen, long-short, etc.
4.*Categorical mnemonics**:
Categorize words according to their subject or category, such as animals, plants, colors, numbers, family members, etc.
5.*Make Flashcards**:
Write the words on the card, write English on one side and Chinese on the other, and review them regularly, especially suitable for memorizing anytime, anywhere.
6.*Phonetic Transcription and Pronunciation Rules Memory**:
Use the IPA to help you pronounce words correctly and spell words according to pronunciation rules, so you can improve your listening and spelling skills at the same time.
7.*Contextual mnemonics**:
Memorizing words in actual sentences or paragraphs, knowing how words are used in context, helps deepen understanding and memory.
8.*Cyclic repetition method**:
Using the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve Principle, make a reasonable review plan and repeat the words you have learned to ensure long-term memory.
9.*Applied Practice**:
Use as many new words as you can in your daily life, or incorporate them into your actual use of the language through writing, speaking exercises, etc.
10.*Multi-sensory method**:
Combine visual, auditory, tactile and other sensory ways to remember, such as seeing, listening, writing, and speaking words, and mobilize a variety of perceptual channels.
A combination of these methods can improve the efficiency and persistence of word memory, but everyone's study habits are different, and it is important to find the method that works best for you.
