Excluding Index cards!

I know what you mean. I took Spanish for 3 years. But, index cards don't help everyone. Including me and you. So I just practiced. I talked to everyone that I could by using the vocabulary words that we were learning. It really helped whether they knew what I said or not. I memorized the words to where I didn't even have to look at my paper. Each time we moved to new words I did that.

Plus I studied. I know it is hard to make time for that but, try to look over your papers at least once a day. Even if you aren't like studying them...read them at least once. It will help.

Good luck. and try anything.

I sing them. I put the words on a song I like and for some reason I do not forget them. When I learn them I sing them out loud, later on not out loud, ofcourse. It helped me through a lot of exams.. I just had to remember the melody and the words came back.. The only thing is that in the beginning I have to sing (for myself) the entire song to find the words in the last phrase, but after a couple of time, it goes automatically. And I remember them forever.

I never worked with index cards..

Succes!

I know you dont wanna hear index cards but they work if you use them right.

I have been speaking spanish for 2 yrs now. When I started I wrote down the few new words I needed to learn and carried them around in my pocket. I tried to use them during the day.

Objects are easier you put stickers on them with their name. Like bathroom = baño or garbadge bin = basurero
if not in a book with pictures write the words like draw a happy face and write feliz/alegre, a sad face = triste.

The best way is to try and mingle it in with your speach. You HAVE to PRATICE!!! It is worth it after about 4 months things calm down.

Well hope this helped you out a bit.
Lot's of luck and congratulations on taking up a whole new language!!!

this question has been bothering me for a whilst too, as i'm getting linguistically dissipated. Grammar, phonology etc are the interesting element of a clean language; the vocabulary is the burdensome section that falcon properly smothers the excitement of all of it. Learner's be conscious lists of the form you're asking approximately have been around for hundreds of years. they are usuallly graded (the fifty or hundred necessary words, the subsequent 2 or maximum necessary, etc). i'm additionally looking around staggering now for the only which seems maximum logical, with the intention to establish it and use it to any extent further with new languages. in case you like, as quickly as I hit on it i'm going to deliver you the reference.

Writing them down with capital letters and catch in your mind how they look
That is the way I knew that memorizing was wrongly spelled
