learning vocabs - a never-ending story!

Back to school: monday morning, vocabulary test in the second lesson: "which words should we have learned?" - that was one of the daily-routine-sentences in our class. Reading through them in the first lesson was enough to get a quite good grade. But I think now that system will not work anymore.As we have heard at the tutorium, there are differend types of "vocab learners": the ones, who have to walk around in the room, these who use internet platforms and those, who have to write down a list with all the vocabs, they have to keep in mind.
I think, I am one of the last group, because I need to see the word and then I can go on.

In one of the last lessons someone spoke about flashcards. I researched a little bit about them and found out, that would be a good idea additionally to the lists, because there are always words where I know, "that word will be tricky to remember". Those words I should give more attention, so my personal resolution for the future are flashcards.

I create a traditional vocabulary flashcard on white paper. Then I write the word in very large writing on one side of the flashcard and on the other side, I write down a definition gained from a dictionary. A good thing would also be to write a definition in own words. Then I sometimes split the word into roots and define them. Antonyms (opposite words) and synonyms (similar words) are also on the backside of the card. I split the verbs from the nouns by using different colours.Everywhere at home I pin them up. In the kitchen on the fridge, in the living room next to the television, in the lavatory and in my room above my bed, so it's the first thing I see in the morning and the last in the evening. :)

Maybe my method seems that logical to you, to use a few details of my post.
I hope so :)

Have a nice friday evening :)
