Answer 2

When I was about 13 (approaching 14) I was due to start at a new boarding school where I would be learning French but I had never studied a foreign language before. I used two techniques which I found most helpful/useful at the time, one of which I use even now in everyday life when I want to remember something.

The first thing my mum did was to put little 'notes' up all around the house in French - carpet, window, door, clock etc etc so whenever I looked at the object, I would see the French word and learn it and associate it with the object.

The one I most found useful was to use what is known as mnemonics. In other words think of something outrageous or visually ridiculous that links an object and the relevant word together - for instance my brother had two - the first one was "you tapis your foot on the carpet" so I remembered the French for carpet was tapis. Another example was the French word fatigue, meaning tired. He said if you're fat you can't be gay so you must be tired. He used the word 'gay' in the non-homosexual kind of way of course but I've never forgotten it. Anyway take a look at the link for more ideas and good luck. Just try to relax and don't worry too much. You either know it or you don't. Panicking and loosing your confidence won't help, will it? I'm sure you'll be great and hope you find my suggestions helpful! :)

Answer 3

When I was studying French, I found the best way to learn it was to THINK in French! Don't just save your learning for the classroom, take it into your real world with you. While commuting think your ordinary thoughts but put in the new vocabulary where youcan. If you can't think of a word for something, keep a notebook with you and write down that word. When you get back home, loook it up and write the meaning next to your word in the note book. That way you will have a notebook of vocabulary tailored to your day and your thoughts and therefore more useful to you personally.

Answer 4

INDEX CARDS. Write the word on the front and the definition on the back. The writing of the cards helps you to learn them. For the first week study them by reading the word and guessing the definition. Then alternate by reading the definition and guessing the word. The next week have someone quiz you. Have them read the word and you tell them the definition. Then alternate and have them tell you the definition and you tell them the word. This really works.

Answer 5

This works with me just fine.... Whenever i studied for a test would i would do is that i would sit in front of my computer relax on my chair and play music and read out loud then repeated without looking at the paper until i get everything right/.

Answer 6

Vocabulary is singular...

You want to use larger words?? or just more words?

If you want to use larger words then get a Thesaurus which give you other words to use. Like "things" could be "articles" or dog could be canine.. cat could be feline..

Answer 7

Whatever words you read and learn say them out loud,use them in a conversation,just use them as much as possible and it will make them "real" and cement them in your mind better :)
