Learning vocabulary
by Jo Bertrand

One of the biggest problems all language learners face is how to learn - and remember - vocabulary.  Depending on individual learning styles, techniques that work well for one person may not help another person at all - one may have to see a word or phrase, another hear it spoken and yet another must write it down.  Yet without vocabulary you will never be able to communicate so it is a problem everyone must come to terms with.

Read about some different techiques for learning and remembering new words and phrases.

Listen to a language learner explaining some of the problems he has and what he does to overcome them.
