With vocabulary that I find particularly difficult to remember, I try and associate an image or some other mnemonic to help me. For example, I had a really difficult time remembering the verb for "to scuba dive," which is bucear. So I pictured the scuba diver diving in the wreck of an old pirate ship, which made me think of buccineers, which reminded me of bucear. I haven't forgotten it since. This is a simple trick that you can use to remember all sorts of things. The more outlandish or vivid the image, the better, as it will be easier for you to picture and thus remember.

I sort of did this trick with Alemania for Germany. I broke the word down Ale + mania, as in, a mania for ale (beer), which made me think of Oktoberfest, which made me think of Germany.

HI jv, I found the flashcards extremely useful, my students love them and somehow new vocabulary sticks.

I type the words I learn and then I print them and study them.

When you are waiting for someone, or taking a walk, or just have a few minutes, go over what you learned in class without using any notes.

Try to conjugate a verb you just learned, or remember a set of vocabulary. Make a note of things you can't remember and look them up when you get a chance.

Good, old fashioned studying and repetition work best for me. Most of us can think back to learning multiplication tables and spelling words. We simply repeated them over and over again until they were drilled into our heads. It also seems to help to write things out, such as conjugations. For example, choose a verb you want to learn in the present indicative. Write down the conjugated verb for each pronoun several times until you feel confident. Ask someone to quiz you. If you make any mistakes at all, simply focus on those until you get them right.

This is old-school, but it still works for me!

What works for you to study? What I find helps me is to make flashcards for words, common phrases, and conjugations. Try to think of the right answer before you turn over the card, and study these outside of class. See if it helps.
