Success in learning any foreign language based on:

• conscientious study of grammatical basics;
• regular replenishment of vocabulary;
• practical application of theoretical knowledge.

It is for this reason that it is very important to perform special exercises at the training stage. Ideal option will be if you have the opportunity to practice spoken English.

How to quickly remember new words?

“Brevity is the sister of talent” - this expression best characterizes the section of lexicology of the English language. Many words are ambiguous. And if in Russian you can count words consisting of three letters on your fingers, then in English there are more than enough of them. But here the question arises, how to remember them and not get confused?

• learn words consciously, do not try to memorize them;
• use cards with images and transcription;
• regularly repeat learned lexemes;
• in the process of memorizing words, make sentences with them.

If you follow these simple rules, you will see how the speed of memorizing words will increase. According to statistics, an adult can memorize up to 20 lexemes per day. Don't try to learn as much as possible; you might just as quickly forget it. Remember: " Better quality, not quantity."
