In my second subject that I want to write about it in this forum, I want to write about “vocabulary Cards”. We should know that knowing the meaning of language’s vocabularies is an important key to that language. Increasing your vocabulary “found” will increase your ability to learn. It is a good way to improve your language. Because of its important I want to talk about one way or method of memorizing and increasing your vocabulary in English (and of course in any other language)
Vocabulary Cards:
--------------------------------------------------------------
1- How to Make a Vocabulary Card:
- You need a small card paper. (Small enough to be held with you anyplace you go).
- When you have this card, go to dictionary and chose any word you like (or you don’t) doesn’t matter because it is learning aspect.
- write the word in the middle of the front of the card. Just the word.
- In the paper from behind you should write three basic things:
1) The part of speech of the written word. (Adjective, pronoun, verb)
2) Sentence or phrases which describe the use of the word.
3) The definition of the word according to the dictionary. (it is better to put it at the end for a reason will be mentioned in the Next part )
(an example of Vocabulary card using the word “concert” is attached here )
See it now please before going to next part.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2- How to Use the Vocabulary Card;
- You should make a good numbers of cards for a period that you want.
20 – 50 cards per week is good (if you serious in learning).
- start knowing the meaning of the words with its part of speech.
- use the example as the remembering factor to know the meaning of the word. If it is hard go to the definition. (Because of that I preferred putting the definition at the end)
- After memorizing the words. Try to review them without using the back side of the card. (Just use the side that has the word without any detail).
- try to put it in right used place in sentence.
--------------------------------------------------------------
This is the way and I hope that you brothers and sisters will benifet from that.
Note: Keep making new and new series of cards.
Another Note: this way is sufficient with any new language that you want to learn.
Thank you
