I find creating colorful flashcards with pictures really helps me remember new words. When I associate a word with an image, it sticks in my brain longer. I also review them before bed since my teacher said our brains process information while we sleep.

Learning new vocabulary becomes easier by focusing on context—picking words up from books, podcasts, or real conversations instead of isolated lists—and using techniques like spaced repetition (revisiting words at increasing intervals) or linking them to existing knowledge via roots/affixes or vivid associations, as these methods combat forgetting and tie meaning to familiar ideas.

Learn words in groups, not individually. Learn "happy," "joyful," "elated" together, and contrast them with "sad," "miserable."
