Learning a new language comes with many challenges, whether it\u2019s with pronunciation or making the extra time to practice daily. Don\u2019t let the stress get to you and start by building solid study habits! In this blog post we\u2019ll be discussing a great vocabulary study habit, with a step-by-step approach, and a PDF available for download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by identifying a topic you’d like to work on. Let’s start with \u2018clothes\u2019. Next, write down the word for several articles of clothing. You can add colors, adjectives related to clothing, and you can write in sentences, as shown in the PDF. For example, \u2018I wear pants\u2019, \u2018I wear black pants\u2019, \u2018I wear big, purple pants\u2019. Each of those sentences adds a new kind of word to the vocabulary, but most importantly, it does so in the context of a situation, which helps us remember things better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Next you can start to associate the clothing with parts of the body once you learn those. For example, \u2018I put the hat on my head.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this is about building associations and context. It\u2019s much easier for us to remember new words this way. Note that this is the opposite of the ever-popular flash cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few extra tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get too detailed. Keep it simple and basic. As you progress, you can add more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

As you can see on the PDF, there are also verbs associated with clothing. That provides context, which helps you remember more. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

As you progress, you\u2019ll also learn other tenses, and then you can practice with those too. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
