Before we jump into how, just know that when you learn more words, you pretty much improve everything. Reading, writing, listening, and speaking. So it’s important to always be learning new words across a range of topics so that you can speak fluently in all situations. If you haven’t done so already, come up with a specific number of words you’d like to master a month and make that your monthly goal, like 30, 50, or even 100 words a month. Now, let’s get to the tips. First, use spaced repetition flashcards. Flashcards are the most popular way to learn, review, and master new words. And more specifically, spaced repetition flashcards. That’s because they have a proven learning method built in. Spaced repetition. Spaced repetition simply means you repeat what you’ve learned over a spaced period of time because that’s the best way to retain things. Meaning, if you learn a word on day one, you see it again in two days, then in four days, in eight days, and so on. The learning is spaced out over time, and the continued repetition helps push the word into your long-term memory so you never forget it. And that’s exactly what our spaced repetition flashcards do for you. You’ll find them in the vocabulary menu on the site. There, you can study the 100 core vocabulary, vocabulary from the lessons, or our 2,000 core vocabulary list. Second, immerse yourself in conversations and conversation lessons. Another powerful way to pick up new words and phrases is to immerse yourself in the language. That way, you’ll always pick up new words. And on top of that, you’ll learn the words in the context of everyday conversations instead of learning them one by one. So, if you’re taking the lessons inside our system, in every lesson, you hear a conversation between native speakers. Then our teachers slow it down, explain every word and grammar rule so that you understand it all. And that conversation is repeated three times in total, so you’ll remember it better. So you’re not just listening to language that’s way above your level and not understanding. You grow to understand it because everything is explained right after. You can also listen to the dialogue tracks that give you just the conversation of that lesson without the translations, so you can immerse yourself and just listen. This is one of the best ways to expose yourself to conversation. Actually understand them, even if you don’t understand anything at first, and reinforce all the words you’ve learned. On top of the lessons, you can also immerse yourself in the target language by watching TV shows and listening to music. But, unlike the lessons, you won’t get the language explained, and this approach may be too hard for beginners. But, if you’re at an upper intermediate level, or above where you can learn through context and understand most of it, then this method can work just as well. Reading is another way you can immerse yourself in the language and boost your vocabulary, because you’ll always come across new words. But, what should you read? And, how do you find easy material for your level? Because, what’s the point if it’s too hard for you? With our program, you can find extensive reading books inside the lesson library. These are quick and easy books, from absolute beginner level up to intermediate, that you can finish in a few minutes. And, extensive reading is simply a strategy where you read and finish as many books as possible. At the absolute beginner level, these are simple one or two sentence per page books, making it easy for you to read through and pick up new words. Another way to memorize words fast is by learning songs in your target language. You can make a monthly goal to memorize one to three songs you like in your target language. Just search for the lyrics to a song you like, and as you listen to the song, read the lyrics. This can help you connect the sounds you’re hearing with the characters or the letters you’re reading. Remember, the key is to find a fun way to read every day. This will help you improve your vocabulary. Fourth, get quizzed on vocabulary regularly. I know, no one likes quizzes and tests after experiencing them in school. But, getting tested on what you’ve learned is actually one of the best ways to remember what you learn and improve your memory. This is a proven learning method called Active Recall. All it means is when you try to remember something, you actually start to remember it better. So, if you’re trying to remember the meaning of a word on a test, that’s when your memory gets stronger. That’s when you’re flexing your brain muscles, or rather, neurons. So, how can you do it? If you’re using the flashcards that I mentioned earlier, flashcards do that for you. They test you on the meanings of the words. You can flip the card over to see if you got the word correct or not. So, be sure to use flashcards. Next, if you’re taking the lessons and following the learning pathway in our program, you’ll automatically get tested after every few lessons. Just follow the pathway, take the lessons, and testing is done for you. You’ll get multiple choice assessments after every few lessons that test you on the words and grammar you learned. That way, you won’t forget what you’ve learned as you make your way down the pathway. Fifth, get new vocabulary and phrases sent to you automatically, the lazy way to learn words. So far, all of the methods mentioned are extremely powerful at helping you learn new words. But, they all require work. And if you’re lazy, busy, or just new to language learning, chances are there will be days when you won’t want to drill flashcards or read. And that’s a problem because language learning needs to become an automatic habit. And if you’re not doing it automatically without thinking, you’ll forever struggle with trying to learn. The good news is that you can get new words and phrases sent to you automatically every day so that you don’t have to lift a finger and boost your vocabulary in the process. And you can do that with our free Word of the Day service where every day we email you a new word along with sample sentences. This is the easiest and the laziest way to boost your vocabulary. And it takes less than a minute because all you have to do is glance at the word and you’re done. But the best part is you automatically get new words every single day so that your vocabulary is always improving. The system is automatic. All you have to do is join it. And as a side bonus, it helps you create a language learning habit because you’re automatically learning new words. On top of that, you’ll also get timely vocab and phrase lists every week via email. If it’s wintertime, you’ll get winter-related words and phrases. If Halloween is coming up, you’ll get words for Halloween. It’s that simple. Again, all of this is done and sent automatically if you’re a member. That way, you don’t have to go chasing down material or trying to figure out what to do and how to learn. So, to recap, use flashcards. Immerse yourself in conversations and conversation lessons. Read every day. Get quizzed on vocabulary regularly. Get new words sent to you automatically.
