In order to remember words better, some learners even write each word and its use on a small piece of paper and stick it somewhere in their house so as to learn it at any time

Many language learners do not try to learn all new words they come across They usually underline or highlight only the words they want to learn This help them remember important words

There are also different ways of learning the same number of words For example, if you try

to learn ten words in two days, you can do so in two ways You can learn the first five words the first day, and then learn the other five the next day However, because revision is necessary, you can learn all the ten words the first day and revise them the next day This helps you practice the words more times
