whats the best way to memorize all the spanish words?

I use the site " memrise " which has already been mentioned , I find it a great help
but there is nothing which can beat putting the words into practice by speaking them ,
until they come alive by using them they are merely a list of non connected words.
I do not mean to be negative just merely pointing out that there is no easy way, just
keep using every method that you can get your hands on . Good luck !
I find the best way to remember words is repetition.Make a list or find a list and say them over and over visualizing the meaning as you say them. Give yourself a couple of hours away from them and then do it all over again. It really works! As rac1 says, the flash cards are a tremendous help. Good luck!
All Spanish words? Do you know all 350,000+ English words? And their meanings? Yo don't think that was the question that you meant to ask. You mean the common words, I think. It is a big question, nevertheless, that you ask. Verbs are the most important, I believe: speak, want, eat, say, go, weld (Jaja), are some expamples. Can you be more especifc?
The absolute best way is to use them in conversation as much as possible. Reading and writing a lot helps too. Nothing will burn those words into your brain like using the language in real life.
Remember, we learned our native language primarily by speaking being spoken to. When speaking isn't an option, I say find something to listen to. And then occasionally throw some flashcards or vocabulary building exercises in there.
I am a beginner at spanish but very interested in learning and I find myself going over the lessons and flashcards in my head constantly. I drive truck so I am by myself alot and I talk to myself in spanish trying to say sentences in spanish for the practice (I told you I drive truck because I don't know if I'd recommend talking to yourself in public.) I have also went throught the house with post it notes and labelled many things in the house like silverware in the drawer and plates in the cupboard and this is even helping my wife pick up a little spanish.
I don't know about all the Spanish words, but I use the flashcards quite a bit. This helps me tremendously. That's one way. The more you practice the better. The video lessons help me a great deal as well.
The other day on this site, a member pointed us to a very helpful site for learning vocabulary. I consider myself an Intermediate Spanish speaker, and I am learning words that I did not know before on this sites most common 1000 words. So, you might want to give it a try. It's at www.memrise.com.
Enjoy and good luck.
I would recommend that you:
1 Learn the new words and
2.Practise using them as much as possible For example, you could write them in sentences. Make up some sentences using, say/for example 10 new words you havve recently learnt. You can then submit them here and ask someone here to correct them
3.Take note of any corrections given, especially by any native Spanish speakers eg Cordobosa if she still comes here.
4.Re-write your sentences with all the corrections given and speak them out aloud!
5.Use what you have just learnt, as often as possible to keep it fresh in your mind. Repeat all these steps with new words...or steps 2 - 5 again if you have forgotten the words.
You don't have to learn all the new Spanish words/vocabulary all at once ..just learn at your own pace it's not a competetion or a race but rather a journey so ENJOY!!!
I hope this helps 
On www.memrise.com what are the most advanced levels?
