Do not struggle to memorize the definitions of words. |
 |
|
Truly understanding the meaning of a word and then absorbing it into your vocabulary is much easier when you read and understand how the word is used in relation to other words. Memorizing only the definition is harder and much less effective.

Feel the vocabulary word in the sample sentence. |
|
|
The words will come alive for you in these dramatized sentences: you can easily visualize the simple yet vivid scene or image each sentence evokes. With repetition, the meaning of the word will be deeply engraved in your memory. Furthermore, your writing skills will also improve as you absorb the usage of the words and the different sentence structures that these FlashCards use.

Whisper each sample sentence to yourself out loud. |
|
|
Linguists agree that when trying to learn new words or languages, an effective method is to recite sentences out loud as you read. As you are studying, be sure to whisper the sample sentences to yourself to improve your learning capabilities.

Be sure to carry the FlashCards with you at all times, wherever you go. |
|
|
How can you read more than a hundred sample sentences, a dozen times a day? It sounds like a lot of work, but if you use the small fragments of time you’d otherwise be wasting – while waiting for a bus, for instance, or while in line at the bank – it’s not nearly as hard as you might think. Carry the handy, pocket-sized box of FlashCards with you all day long.

Listen to the MP3 downloads of words and sample sentences. |
|
|
By downloading the free MP3 audio files of Vocab FlashCards 4800 before you read the words and sentences out loud to yourself, you can listen to the standard pronunciation of each word and how it sounds when native English-speakers read the sample sentences. You can also double your learning efficiency by listening to the audio files repeatedly on CD or MP3 players.
