How to learn a new language?
How to remember some words? It's too hard for me!
I am an office worker, if I want to remember 1) this words that can only spend part of 2) rest times. But now, the question is I forget it faster!
3)I'm not clever! So what? 4) the only thing I can do, that must remembered it again and again.
every day, every hours, and every minute is important.
1) "these" is a better choice, this is used to indicate a single thing close to you and these is the plural form which matches with words
2) Rest can either mean time off from labor or the remaining amount. It would be more clear to say "I am an office worker, if I want to remember words I must study during my break time."
3) Clever does not matter, you speak Mandarin well enough to use it professionally. As an adult learner we forget that it takes <em>years</em> to learn how to speak a language.
4) The first letter of the first word in a sentence is capitalized.
5) Suggestion: there is a free program called Anki that is available for computers using the android or Windows operating system. It is a spaced repetition system (SRS). You go through the flash cards to rank how hard it was to remember a word. The harder words turn up more frequently as you go through the list. I use Anki but there are others like Memrise or mnemosyne and the cost varies depending on how much you want to do yourself. Also develop a list of 500-1000 English words. Tim Ferriss has a list ofthe 300 most common words in English and the 6 sentences to use to get an idea of English grammar on his website. Then start writing down a list of the things in your life, and finding out the words in English of the items in your life, e.g. chair (椅子), bathroom (浴室). I don't speak Mandarin, I just got this from google translate.
