1:36something when you were first learning
1:38English was there a word you just
1:40couldn't seem to remember no matter how
1:42hard you tried oh
1:44definitely I remember struggling with
1:47the word
1:48inevitable I knew what it meant
1:50something that's certain to happen but
1:53every time I wanted to use it in
1:55conversation it would just disappear
1:57from my mind I can totally relate it's
2:01so frustrating when you're about to say
2:03a word and then it's like your brain
2:04goes blank I think a lot of our
2:07listeners have been through that too
2:10absolutely but the good news is there
2:12are ways to make those words stick and
2:15that's exactly what we're talking about

2:27great tips coming your way oh before we

2:34free PDF for today's episode it includes
2:37all the key tips we'll be discussing and
2:40you can download it from the link in the
2:41description it's perfect for following
2:44along or reviewing later especially if
2:47you want to put these strategies into
2:49practice so be sure to grab that all
2:52right let's dive into our first tip for
2:54remembering words think about the power
2:57of learning words in context
3:00Jennifer I don't know about you but I've
3:02always found it easier to remember a
3:04word when I see it in a story or hear it
3:06in a conversation rather than just
3:08trying to memorize it from a list oh
3:11absolutely it's like learning to cook
3:14you can read the recipe but if you
3:16actually see someone making the dish it
3:18just makes more sense the same goes for
3:21words when you learn a word through real
3:24life examples like in a sentence or a
3:26movie it sticks better you're not just
3:29learning the definition you're seeing it
3:31in
3:32action exactly for example I remember
3:36learning the word serene when reading a
3:38book where the character described a
3:40peaceful calm lake every time I hear
3:43Serene now I picture that calm scene and
3:46I can remember the word without even
3:48trying it's about making the word come
3:50to life not just memorizing a definition
3:53yeah because when a word has a story or
3:56a scene attached to it your brain
3:58creates connections that make easier to
4:00recall it's like giving the word a home
4:03in your memory that's why reading books
4:06watching movies or listening to podcasts
4:08in English is so powerful you're seeing
4:11the words used naturally mhm another
4:14thing that really helps especially for
4:16long-term retention is revisiting those
4:19words after you've learned them you
4:21can't just look at a word once and
4:23expect it to stay forever you need to
4:26come back to it a few times and each
4:28time you review it it sticks a little
4:30more Jennifer have you ever heard of
4:33spaced
4:34repetition yes it's such a simple
4:37concept but so
4:39effective the idea is to review a word
4:41at increasing intervals like after one
4:44day then 3 days then a week and so on
4:47that way you're reminding your brain
4:49just as it's about to forget the word
4:52which makes the memory stronger each
4:54time exactly and there are some great
4:57apps like anky or Quizlet that you
4:59spaced repetition to help you they'll
5:02remind you when it's time to review a
5:03word so you don't have to keep track of
5:05it yourself I use them all the time and
5:09they've really helped me lock in new
5:11vocabulary I love those apps it's like
5:14having a personal Language Coach
5:16reminding you to check in on your words
5:19and over time it becomes second nature
5:22you won't even need the reminders
5:24anymore because the word will be solid
5:25in your memory now let's talk about
5:28making words personal
5:30one thing that really helps me remember
5:31new vocabulary is connecting the word to
5:33something in my own life when you make
5:36it personal it sticks I once learned the
5:39word adventurous and I linked it to my
5:42first solo travel experience now every
5:45time I hear adventurous I think about
5:47that trip and I never forget the meaning
5:50oh I do that all the time for me
5:54nostalgic always reminds me of looking
5:56through old photo albums with my family
5:59it's not not just a word anymore it's
6:01connected to a feeling an
6:04experience and when you tie words to
6:06your own memories they're way easier to
6:09remember exactly it's like giving the
6:12word a personal touch something unique
6:14that only you can relate to that makes
6:17it harder for your brain to forget it if
6:19you can't make a personal connection you
6:21can always visualize something funny or
6:24memorable the crazier the better oh
6:28definitely I once learned learned the
6:29word gregarious which means sociable by
6:32imagining a guy named Greg throwing a
6:35huge party now Greg and that word are
6:38stuck together in my mind forever mhm
6:41but here's something that's really
6:43important using those new words if you
6:46learn a word and never use it it's going
6:49to fade away you have to make it part of
6:51your everyday conversations or even
6:53write it down in a journal the more you
6:56actively use a word the stronger your
6:58connection to it becomes
7:00absolutely it's like building a muscle
7:03if you don't use it it gets weak but the
7:05more you use a word the more natural it
7:08feels when I learn a new word I try to
7:11slip it into conversations as much as
7:13possible even if I'm just talking to
7:16myself I do the same thing sometimes
7:19I'll make a point of using a word I've
7:20just learned every day for a week I
7:23might write it in my journal or say it
7:24in casual conversation the more I use it
7:28the more it sticks uh-huh and let's not
7:31forget about those good old memory
7:32tricks pneumonics and word
7:35associations I'm a big fan of these you
7:38know little tricks to help you remember
7:41difficult words one of my favorites is
7:43for the word ubiquitous which means
7:46everywhere I just remember it by
7:49thinking ubiquitous means everywhere
7:52like air it's silly but I've never
7:55forgotten that word that's great I love
7:58pneumonics too
8:00I used one for taciturn which means
8:02quiet I imagined a turtle that doesn't
8:05talk because it's too shy now that word
8:07is stuck in my brain forever uhhuh it
8:10works so well because our brains love
8:12stories and images the weirder or
8:15funnier the better if you can turn a
8:18word into a picture or a funny memory
8:20it'll stick with you for a long time
8:23another thing that helps me is learning
8:25groups of words that are related like if
8:27I learn the word help I can easily pick
8:30up helpful helpless and helper all at
8:33once it's like getting multiple words
8:35for the price of one
8:38exactly once you learn a root word it
8:41opens up so many other words in the same
8:44family it's one of the fastest ways to
8:46build your
8:47vocabulary you don't need to memorize
8:49every word individually you can just
8:52recognize
8:53patterns and when you see those patterns
8:56it becomes easier to guess the meaning
8:57of new words you haven't even learned
8:59yet it's like figuring out the puzzle
9:01pieces of
9:03language one last thing that really
9:05helps learning through your
9:08interests if you love sports watch
9:10sports videos in English if you're into
9:13cooking read recipes in English when you
9:17learn vocabulary in a context you
9:19already enjoy it doesn't feel like
9:21studying at all yes learning becomes
9:24effortless when you're passionate about
9:26the subject I love watching travel shows
9:29so I pick up travel related words
9:31without even realizing it you're
9:33learning while having fun and that's the
9:35best way to remember words and finally
9:39repetition is key you can't expect to
9:42remember a word Forever After hearing it
9:44once make reviewing words a part of your
9:47daily routine whether it's setting a
9:49word of the day challenge using
9:52vocabulary apps or just talking to
9:54yourself using new words exactly
9:58consistency is what turns a new word
10:00into something you can use confidently
10:02in
10:02conversation it doesn't have to take
10:04hours just a few minutes each day is
10:07enough to keep those words fresh in your
10:08mind so that's a wrap for today's
10:12conversation we hope you picked up some
