● write the words in a notebook (with their
translations or definitions).

● write the words and definitions on flashcards

● say the words many times.

● write them in a file for use with a computer
program (such as Quizlet ).

● ask someone to test you.

● use the words in your own speaking or
writing.

STUDY CARDS! literally the only thing I used my study cards was learning vocab. Whenever I came across a work in a comprehension or a listening comprehension write it on a card. The word on one side and the meaning on the back.

If your doing german make sure to put the der/die/das/die in front of it and learn it with its gender, im not sure if its like that for other languages.

At the end of leaving cert I had 3 massive piles of vocab. I use to just go over maybe half a pile a day to keep up with it. You don't just learn a word and leave it, you need to keep going back to it and that's why the study cards are effective. You pick up a handful of cards a day and if you don't get a few words put them in a seperate pile and re-learn them

Anki is fantastic for learning vocab on the computer. Whenever we get vocab I just put it into Anki and just keep reviewing it.

Depends on the sort of learner you are. A visual learner may find flash cards handy, an aural learner may find it useful to say the word out loud every time they pass the item, etc..
