welcome to the video my name is Ronnie
today I'm going to teach you how to
remember vocabulary one of the biggest
and most important things about learning
a language or just talking is
remembering vocabulary you might have
new vocabulary that you've never heard
before or it might be vocabulary that
you've heard a hundred times and you
always forget the very first rule when
you're trying to learn a new language
the very basic and a lot of people ask
me Ronnie how can I learn English I'm a
beginner in English I want to learn
English the best way to begin learning
English is to learn vocabulary basic
vocabulary and then go on to grammar Oh
verbs would be a good way to start I
remember learning French when I was a
child I learned the colors first and
then we went on to verbs and I was lost
I can't speak French I can teach you
English though today's lesson is on how
to remember vocabulary the number one
rule is repeat repeat and repeat the
only way that I can remember new
vocabulary because I am a visual learner
which means I must see things to
remember them I have to write new words
down as soon as I write the new words
down for some reason my brain remembers
everyone has a different way of learning
maybe you are an audio learner that
means you learn from hearing if you are
an audio learner you're lucky because
you will be very good at languages and
because I'm more of a visual learner if
someone tells me a new word I don't
remember the new word what I have
to do like I said is write the word down
and visualized the word repeat repeat
repeat to a really really good technique
that I used some of you may know I lived
in Japan for four beautiful years I
actually tried to learn Japanese yes yes
it was exciting and fun one way that I
learned kanji which is Chinese script is
I had a poster in my toilet of the
different Chinese or Japanese characters
so every time I went to the toilet
I would look at the poster I am not
physically consciously trying to learn
it we call it subconscious
I'm subconsciously learning the symbols
because I'm seeing it every day
sometimes three times a day I would see
that new vocabulary it would help me to
remember because I could repeat
eventually I would understand it I would
get it another really good technique is
to use a poster as I said which is a big
paper and write down new vocabulary
words or get small sticky notes
I think everyone understands sticky
notes they're about yay big and you
stick them on something when I started
to learn Spanish I'm still doing that
huh I would take little sticky notes and
I would stick them on the things that
correspond to the word for example if I
was going to learn about a chair I would
take a sticker that said sit Celia and I
would put it on the chair I take my
sticky note and put it on the chair so
every time I looked at the chair I would
remember the Spanish word but I forget
now I think it's ela I think it's my
pronunciation that's bad isn't it isn't
it yeah so if you see the words or a
group of words every day it will help
you remember one very important thing to
also remember is that you cannot learn a
hundred words a day I would limit myself
to no more than ten new words a day
that's a lot I would go for three or
four five if
a more advanced English learner and
you're trying to learn a lot of new
vocabulary I would do 10 but it's
important to repeat repeat repeat so in
one week ten times seven
you're going to have 70 new words in
your brain but if you don't repeat them
you will lose those words because I'm a
visual learner I also like to draw
pictures I'm a very good artist mm-hm
so one way that I learn things is by
drawing pictures and putting the words
inside the pictures if you like art or
if you're good at computer graphics you
can make little pictures or posters with
English words exactly into the picture
so if I was gonna draw a picture of a
donkey I would write the word donkey and
make the shape of a donkey so I remember
from doing art the next one which is
more of an academic way to remember
vocabulary is to take a word that you've
learned make a sentence with the new
word if I have the word donkey I can say
I want a donkey so what I'm doing is I
am making a sentence so I'm improving my
grammar and I'm also repeating repeating
repeating the new vocabulary words I can
also say hey maybe I don't want a donkey
as long as you make a sentence and
repeat the sentence it's gonna help you
the last trick which is fun this is my
favorite your own native language can
help you remember English vocabulary a
very good example of this is in Japan
and there's a word name the word name
we're called bimbo in Japanese bimbo
means broke it means you have no money
when I went to Japan I heard the word
bimbo bimbo bimbo why are people talking
about stupid girls in English bimbo
means a girl who is stupid or not very
intelligent I couldn't understand why so
many Japanese people were saying stupid
girls - the girls - the girls stupid
girl and then I asked someone what does
a bimbo mean and they said this means no
money so if you can use your own
language and maybe there's a word that's
even sound similar in your language like
bimbo I'm trying to learn Spanish I'm
not doing a very good job at it but if I
hear a word that sounds like an English
word it helps me remember the word more
I want you to try and think of your
language in English even if the word
sounds a little bit the same your
language can help you learn another
language the word might even be the save
in your language if you're lucky if you
need help in remembering vocabulary
number one rule repeat repeat repeat
look at it every day
visualize it write it down talk about it
it'll help you it'll stick in your brain
