Quizlet/Quizizz
1.
When you learn a new word, learn the whole word family - it will help the words to stick in your brain!
2.
Look - Cover - Write - Check
3.
Write new words on Post-Its and stick them where you'll see them everyday.
4.
Use new words in a sentence.
5.
Learn 10 new words a week.
6.
Visualise associations. For example, draw on similarities with English or imagine a picture or scene to go with the new vocabulary.
7.
Review often! Test your memory of new words an hour later, a day later, a week later...even a month later! Each time you revisit the new word, the quicker you will be able to remember it.
8.
Make a matching game! Write the Spanish word on one card and the English on another, shuffle the pairs and lay them face down.
9.
Keep a vocabulary notebook. Every time you come across a new word or phrase, record it in the notebook to review later.
