How to make new words stick
🗣️
Say it out loudPronouncing a word three times while writing it helps move it to long-term memory far faster than silent reading.
📺
Spot it in the wildWhen you hear one of your words in a drama or song, put a tick next to it. Hearing it in context makes it yours.
🔁
Review after 24 hoursRevisit this sheet the next morning. The spacing effect means one review the day after learning doubles retention.
💬
Use it in a sentenceAs soon as you learn a word, try to make one sentence with it — even a silly one. Using it is remembering it.
