It's so hard for me to memorize the vocabularies.
I always forget what I just learned yesterday...
How can I do? Crying or Very sad

I think it may be a problem for some people ( for me sometimes) but I think you forget what you memorized yesterday because you memorize a big quantity.One day my teacher taught me that if I memorize five words everyday,at the end of the month I will have 150 words and at the end of the year I will have a pyramid of words (1825 words),Just try to revise what you memorize regularly ,be serious and of course God will help you.

The more actively you work on something, the better you learn it, and the longer you remember it. For vocabulary, if all you do is read and repeat the word and its meaning, you spend a lot of time for a little learning.

If you write it out, and write some sentences using the new words, and say the sentences out loud, and tape the paper on the wall to read whenever you pass by, and try to use the words in new sentences all that day and the next, you will multiply the ways to encode and decode the memories, and your vocabulary will grow quickly.

Even small children repeat new words to themselves before going to sleep, and they learn words incredibly quickly. Try that!
