Yeah, I think there are some useful things you can.
Why can't I remember any of the words I just heard?
I know these words, but it's like it goes in one ear and out the other.
This is so frustrating.
Can you relate to this?
As language learners
we're exposed to new words all the time.
We know and understand the meaning.
But when it comes to speaking, it's like the words just vanish.
Well, in today's lesson, I'll walk you through some simple
and practical tips that will help you remember new vocabulary easily.
But before we get started, each week, we create lessons like this
to help English learners like you go from feeling like a lost an insecure

Listening to podcasts is fun and effortlessly to learn
new vocabulary, you might be tempted to go straight to listening
to podcasts created for English speakers.
However, unless you're an advanced level student,
this will be an ineffective and frustrating way to learn.
If you get confused, you might stop paying attention
and won't take in the new vocabulary you're learning.
Just like I demonstrated earlier on this lesson so it's very important
that you listen to content that is suited to your level.
Although podcasts are an excellent way to learn new vocabulary in subjects
that you're interested in, these words won't stick unless you engage with them.
So write down new words you come across in a notebook or using an app
like Anki, which uses flashcards to help you remember words easily.
A useful feature of podcasts is that they can be played at a slower speed
This will give you time to write down any new words you hear, and it will also
give you a better understanding of how each word is pronounced.
Then, if you're still aren't sure what they mean, pause the audio and look the words up.
Since you've already
heard these words in context and made an effort to absorb them.
You are more likely to remember them.
Many of the best podcasts designed for learning English like our RealLife
English podcasts on our app come with the written transcripts.
Try reading along to a podcast and you'll be learning
how to read and pronounce words simultaneously.
It is difficult to know how to pronounce words just by seeing them written down.
Reading along or shadowing to a podcast
is an easy way to get used to tricky pronunciation rules.
Looking in the mirror while repeating the words you're hearing in
a podcast is a great way to memorize the words
as well as get comfortable with the language .This is great.
However, sometimes
it's better to practice the new vocabulary with another person.
That's why we've created the RealLife English app.
This five star app is the only place where any time, anywhere
at the press of a button,
you can connect with English learners from around the world.
You can have fascinating conversations about new vocabulary you've learned
or your culture, your hobbies, absolutely anything.
And the best part is that the RealLife app is a free resource
that you can use to improve your speaking right now.
So download it for free by clicking up here or down in the description

Movies and series are packed with examples of language used in real life conversations.
So this is definitely a useful and enjoyable way of learning English.
But you might be wondering what technique to use
to get the best results when watching movies and series.
Well, first, choose a scene no longer than 5 minutes
and watch it in English without subtitles.
Write down the words and expressions that you understood.
Then try writing a little paragraph in English
about what you understand is happening.
Watch the scene with subtitles in your language
and compare the scene script with the words and paragraph that you wrote down.
Watch the scene in English without
subtitles as many times as you need to and write down
all of the words and expressions that you understand.
Do this exercise for about 30 minutes of study time.
Try to infer the meaning of the words and expressions that you wrote down.
Remember, whenever possible, to write down the words and expressions
in context, as this will make it easier to remember
the feelings and ideas linked to the words.
And speaking of feelings, another way to remember vocabulary
is to connect emotionally with what you are hearing or watching.
This emotional tie between you and the words
makes it easy to remember them in future.
For example, if you love the Netflix series Bridgerton,
it might be easier for you to remember the formal language used
in the show than it is for someone who has no interest in it.
So find films and series that you are interested in it
and try this technique. Before you continue watching

So you can just do what you're used to doing.
But in English, small changes like this can have a huge impact
on your language learning. Without even realizing it
you're creating a language immersion environment.
The key is to engage with the content regularly.
As this is the best way to retain the new words you're learning.
This means commenting on posts,
watching videos, and participating in Instagram pools
or questions.
If you come across an unfamiliar word, try to figure out
what it means in the context of the picture or post.
If it's slang or a training new word, you might find that it's
used in other posts as well.
And this would make it easier to remember the meaning
if the word is completely unfamiliar Look up the meaning
and try to associate it with the post or picture you saw.
And so this will help you connect the word to the visual aspect.
You could also comment on the posts
so that you actively participate in using the word.
So there you have it.
