Introduction #

The struggle to remember vocabulary is a common challenge for language learners. In this video, Elisa Vega shares her five tips to make vocabulary stick in any language.

Study Vocabulary in Context #

• Study vocabulary in context, not in isolation.
• Use flashcards with sentences or phrases to provide context.
• This helps vocabulary become more applicable and memorable.

See It and Hear It #

• Use visual and auditory aids to enhance learning.
• Watch TV shows or movies with subtitles in the target language.
• Listen to podcasts or audiobooks with transcripts.
• Tools like Lingo Pie offer interactive subtitles and flashcards.

Immerse Yourself in the Language #

• Use the target language to explain concepts, not just your native language.
• Create flashcards with French-to-French explanations, for example.
• Write notes in the target language, and use apps like Buzu or Duolingo in the target language.

Produce the Word Soon After First Encounter #

• The sooner you produce the word, the better you'll remember it.
• Write down vocabulary words without translations, and then try to recall them.
• Read vocabulary words out loud, and create sentences with them.
• Use tools like Forvo to practice pronunciation.

Active Recall vs. Passive Recall #

• Active recall involves prompting yourself in the target language.
• Passive recall involves prompting yourself in your native language.
• Use flashcards with the target language on both sides, and challenge yourself to recall the word.
• This method helps solidify memory and improve retention.

By following these five tips, language learners can improve their vocabulary retention and make the learning process more effective.
