Vocabulary
Learning a foreign language requires
much memorization. Not only do you need to memorize quite a bit of vocabulary,
you also need to memorize grammatical terms and learn how to apply them. Reading the vocabulary the way you would read
a history text, for example often doesn’t work.
I suggest that you make an index card for each vocabulary word and use
those to study.
First study them from German or French
to English.
Then study them from English to German
or French.
When you think you have memorized all
the words, do an activity that has nothing to do with the language, such as
home work for another subject area, play a game, watch TV etc.
Now go through the vocabulary index
cards again from English to German or French and see how many words you still remember. The words you have forgotten, you will need
to study more. You may even have to
write the words out a few times to remember them!
Take your index cards with you on
trips. You may find time to review your
vocabulary on the plane etc.
