4. SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW TO LEARN VOCABULARY: On a piece of paper, write the Spanish words you need to learn in one column. Write the English definitions next to the Spanish, in the next column. Then, fold your paper so you cannot see the English definitions. Try writing the English without looking at your book. For those you miss, “cheat” and look at the English you hid from view when you folded your paper. Keep folding the paper, drilling yourself on the English and the Spanish, until you have learned the words well. Then, REPEAT the same exercise, but holler out the definitions. (Don’t forget to “cheat” and look at the original sheet you used to write out all the Spanish and English words!) This works really well! You should be able to learn a list of 25 words in around ten minutes!
