Hi there, How are you? Are you enjoying the festive period? There's nothing like a little bit of snow to remind us that Christmas is near! I hope this month's newsletter will be really useful for you! Allow me to explain... Have you ever sat down to learn some vocabulary, learn it and then forget it? I know I have! It's really frustrating, isn't it? It's like one step forward, two steps backwards. You are not alone in this problem. As language learners, this happens to all of us. But today, I would like to show you one simple (scientifically proven) way to remember twice as much vocabulary from every session - easily! When I say "easily", I mean "easily". Here's what to do: From now on, when you learn new vocabulary, grab a pen and pencil and test yourself immediately! Rewrite the vocabulary and see how much you remember. Then relearn what you forgot! For maximum effectiveness: repeat the following day and relearn again what you do not remember. Then, repeat in a week, in two weeks, in a month and finally every three months. Look at the graph at the bottom of this post to see what I mean. Doing this simple exercise will help to remember twice as much as vocabulary! See, usually when we want to learn, we simply read the information again and again. We're actually practising the wrong skill here. If we only read, then of course, we are improving our reading skills - not our retention skills. So, in order to improve how well we remember, we must practise remembering! Now, where did I put that pen and paper? :D If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to respond to this email. This is from my free monthly email.
