Hello, everybody. In this video, I'm going to share with you a technique that you can use to remember English vocabulary.
And the reason that I recommend this technique is that it's pretty effective.
I actually did a small experiment. I created two lists of words that I didn't know and I just tried to memorize the words in each list.
I did not use any technique to memorize the first list. It was just pure repetition.
But for the second list, I used the technique that you're about to learn. The next day I tried to recall the meanings of the words in both lists.
For the first list, I was able to recall only 12%. But for the second list, I recalled as much as 50%.
This is pretty impressive considering the fact that I spent only one minute memorizing each word.
So let me explain the technique and then at the end of this video, I will give you a link to an exercise that you can do to practice this technique.
So let say we want to remember the word "adroit", which means "clever or skillful at something; really good at something".
The first thing we need to do is to come up with another word that sounds similar to this word.
