I need some help remembering Spanish words

Question

I am always forgetting certain words in Spanish, can someone please tell me a way I can remember Spanish words easily? I would really appreciate it if you could help me.

Answer 1

print out flash cards for when you don't have a computer available English on one side Spanish on the other. And the flashcards here are great typing and writing actually reinforce more than just the visual aspect of the flashcard. Repetition is your best friend. Also if you can tie a mental image to a certain word, this is how most memory courses work. For instance for the word dog; picture a big dog named Pedro (this is close enough). Or for soy (I am) picture yourself pouring a big jar of soy sauce. You will be surprised how long these will stick with you.

Flashcards are a great suggestion. I agree, repetition works very well to keep words in your long term memory. - 0095ca4c, Oct 15, 2012

Answer 3

you could write the English word out and then it's Spanish meaning next to it about three times or you could start using the words that you mess up by using them in your sentences or read them over and over until you basically have them done and use the words with your everyday conversation. hope it helps
