不知道是不是一样的情况，但我学汉字的时候，我需要把一个字看好机遍。先要记得字是怎样写的。这样，至少脑子里会有点映像（不知道这个词用得对不对，对不起，水平太差了）。然后，再去记意思的时候就很容易了。 啊！我一定打了很多错别字，请原谅！

It's so ordinary to forget words. when I study words I study it and I know I'll forget it after few days. so I know that I have to revise it "now and again".

you can use it in a special sentence that you can remember it..

I always than you!

For me, I memorize a word by writing it afew times, then I start putting it into alot of sentences, I may write these sentences or just cite them. And I assure you using a new word in sentences really fixes it in your mind
