- Add those new words to lists you make including categories, where each group of words relate to a certain topic such as work environment, domestics , business terms, emotions etc.. Revise them every now and then. - Chat with native speakers and always use those words repetitively and make sure you recognize them when used by others and mentally process their meaning and context each time you hear them said in a speech or mentioned in a song or a movie etc. - Frequently try to learn words by unconventional ways, like reading signs, advertisement on the street , on TV , look them up if you don't know them or ask about their meaning. If you go to a restaurant for example and read a new word in the menu , you can ask the waiter and then once you visit another restaurant serving the same meal you will read it again until it is memorized. This is another unconscious way of remembering words. It might not be a quick method, but it is a supplementary tool to add up to your vocabulary without too much intended effort.It makes learning less boring as well for you don't have to be always confined to a classroom or a lesson when learning new words. The rule of learning in a traditional way is not to be undermined though ,but combining different methods will making your learning experience more interesting. Good luck:)

Hello Qiyou, The key to remembering new acquired vocabulary is constant repetition. This can take many forms and should vary for rendering the memorizing process less tedious. After having learned a new word through any source read or spoken you could do some of the following: As a direct approach you could : -Write down the word several times forming sentences using it. - Use it in sentences while chatting with others (whether speaking or typing) - Repeat reading those sentences on a daily basis. In an indirect way: - Keep reading lots of comprehensions , books, articles and surely these new words will come your way. It is a chance to read them in different contexts and an efficient way to memorize them.

- Write sentences and essays which include new interesting vocabulary. This can help you improve both your speaking and wrting skills. It also helps you remember the new words that you acquire. - Read as much as possible from a different variety of authentic reading materials (books, newspapers, magazines,etc). - Use a good English dictionary that can clearly define words, provide information about grammar and give sample sentences to show how words are used in context.
