Multi-word verbs are everywhere

As we already know multi-word verbs are verbs which consist of a verb and 1 or 2 particles or prepositions (over, out, off, in, up, away, down, etc.). The students are supposed to use them when they are climbing up from basic to intermediate level. The tutors do their best to help students remember at least some phrasal verbs.

Tips for those who want to remember words quicker

It is well-known that while one is studying abroad, he or she hears and reads the language everywhere. It always helps to learn much faster through immersion. But you must not go abroad to accelerate increasing the number of words you have in your active vocabulary. You are able to create an inspiring and study-friendly environment wherever you are. Just buy magazines or books in the new language, watch series and movies, and cook (using original recipes) the local food.

Next level is closer than you thought

All of us want to take language learning to the next level. And the specialists advise the students to leave enough space for mind maps to be filled with associated words, as well as with synonyms or antonyms. If your goal is to get the most out of your learning process, try not to translate the word into your native language, but instead, describe and explain it in the language you’re trying to learn.

Choose the tools that work for you

Every teacher knows that everyone learns differently. So, if you don’t already know what and how works for you, try as many different ways as possible. Combine the ways you prefer not only to accumulate fresh skills but to memorize new words as well. Try using flashcards or apps, lists or games. Do not forget about timing. Some people like to set apart a specific time for studies, others learn more spontaneously. You are free to choose any approach as the idea is to get into some kind of rhythm. This will help you not to give up in the process.
