#1 Techniques for Organising 

Your Vocabulary

We all know how difficult it is to remember new words when learning English or any other language. But it doesn't mean that you have to give up and don't make your dream of learning new language come true. There are a great deal of useful techniques and tips to help you to achieve your goals in learning new vocabulary, and I'll share you some that I find the most useful and would like to use while keeping my lexical notebook. So, let's get started!

1. Think about why you’re learning English
Think carefully is it really important for you  to learn this language, if not, so just don't waste your time in vain.

2. Organize Words By Topic

It will be easier to remember words  which are connected by a common theme. Just separate all the words by topics, for example: cooking utensils, clothes, dwelling, hobby, art and so on.

3. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat

It's also quite important rule. If you can't remember a word a or a phrase, so just repeat it until you memorize it. It should help!

3. Stickers

One of my favorite methods. If your housemates don't mind, you could attach labels to objects around the house. Every time you go to use one of these objects, say the English name out loud, and try to use it in a sentence. Be sure to include correct spelling of the word on your labels.

4. Make a sentence
It was already mentioned in a previous tip. Yes, you have to make a sentences with every word or phrase you are trying to remember. It'll help you to learn how to use it and in what sense and context.

5. Phrases and collocations

Don't isolate words which you probably won't remember. You’re much more likely to remember these words if they’re put into phrases or collocations. For example: bake a cake, sing a song, play with doll and so on. 

There are many others methods when learning new language and its vocabulary. Everyone choose the one that he/she likes the most and that is the most effective.  Let all your efforts will be fruitfull!
