When it comes to memorizing vocabulary, there are several effective techniques you can employ. I am exploring some of them

Background Method:
This technique draws inspiration from the “memory palace” concept. Imagine placing new words or images representing those words in specific rooms within your mental palace. By associating words with spatial locations, you ground them in context. 
Process Words Deeply:
Instead of merely rote memorization, engage with the words deeply. Understand their meanings, etymology, and usage. Create mental connections by linking them to related concepts or personal experiences. 
Associate Words with Mental Images:
Visualize the word’s meaning. Create vivid mental images related to the word. Associating words with images enhances memory retention.
Review Words at Spaced Intervals:
Spaced repetition is a powerful technique. Instead of cramming, review words at regular intervals. Use flashcards or language-learning apps that incorporate spaced repetition algorithms. 
Use Mnemonics:
Create mnemonic devices to remember challenging words. Mnemonics can be acronyms, rhymes, or visual associations. 
Practice with Vocabulary Apps and Games:
Interactive apps and games make learning fun. Explore platforms like Duolingo, Memrise, or Quizlet. Gamified exercises reinforce vocabulary and keep you motivated.
Have a Dedicated Vocabulary Notebook:
Maintain a vocabulary journal. Write down new words, their meanings, and example sentences. Regularly review and revise your notebook. The act of writing reinforces memory.
Immerse Yourself in the Language:
Surround yourself with the target language. Read books, watch movies, listen to podcasts, and follow native speakers on social media. Remember, consistency and creativity are key. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.

Vocabulary Acquisition - Describing the Context

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
北海道はどんどん寒くなっています。

さて、今日は、日本の陶器について。
焼き物、という器が昔から日本にはあります。

日本は昔から陶磁器を作る窯があります。
その中でも、
「中世から約900年以上の歴史があり、現在も生産が続いている」6つの窯を六古窯ろっこようと呼ばれています。

信楽(しがらき) 
備前(びぜん)
丹波(たんば)
越前(えちぜん)
瀬戸(せと)
常滑(とこなめ)
の6つです

とありますが、今日はその中のものではなく、
出西窯ーしゅっさいがま
というものについて話します。

島根県に出西窯という工房？窯、があります。
この出西窯の器がとても好きです。
出西窯は青色の器があります。他の色の器もあります。
僕は、この青色の器が好きです。
出西ブルーと言われています。
とてもきれいで透明感があります。
5年ぐらいまえからずっと使い続けています。

日本ではこういった器を手作り体験という形で作ることができます。僕も何回かしたことがあります。
でもその器は今は使っていなくて、実家で家族が使っています。これから日本に旅行に来る方は、そういった手作りの体験をするのもいいかもしれないですね。

と言うことで、今日は日本の器について話しました。
器を見るだけでも日本らしさを感じることができるので、
とても楽しいですね。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
