How to effectively remember English words in simple ways? Look at this!

The small English vocabulary has become a "bottleneck" for many people to learn English, and it is difficult to remember words when English is difficult to learn. Therefore, memorizing words is one of the keys to learning English. Next, I will share with you the most systematic method of memorizing English words quickly.

English word memorization method 1: using pronunciation rules memorization method

English is a phonetic alphabet. According to this feature of English, phonetics and letters in words are organically combined to enhance the memory of words. Is to use the English International Phonetic Alphabet to memorize words. International Phonetic Alphabet is a symbol system that marks English pronunciation.

If you are familiar with and master the pronunciation of international phonetic symbols and regular letters and letter combinations, you can directly spell English words according to the phonetic symbols, especially some long words that are difficult to remember, such as pronunciation (n n. Pronunciation), and you can write words correctly according to its phonetic symbols.

The pronunciation of words is closely related to the pronunciation of letters and their combinations. For example: cow, how, now? The letter combination ow in words such as /au/ is pronounced; The vowels in the words cake, these, five, note, etc. all pronounce the name sound of the letter.

For some words composed of long letters, we can remember them by pronunciation and section. For example, computer can be divided into com/k? m/、pu/pju:/、ter/t? /three parts, important can be divided into three parts: im/im/, por/p/,tant/tnt/.

English words sometimes sound exactly the same or very similar, so that we can find out their similarities and differences through comparison and observation, so as to further deepen our impression and enhance our memory effect. For example:/tu:/-two, too/si:/-sea, see/mi: t/-meet, meat/f:/-for, four/rait/-right, write The pronunciation of some words in English has been directly replaced by Chinese vocabulary, which is because there is no corresponding vocabulary in Chinese at first, so we can master the sound. For example: tank Tank, jeep Jeep, Changjing Yangtze River, jacket Jacket, New York, New York.

Therefore, teachers must help students to summarize, memorize and use the pronunciation rules of letters and letter combinations in detail. Once students master this method of memorizing words, they don't need to memorize them letter by letter. You can save a lot of time in memorizing words, and the effect is lasting, which not only enhances your interest and confidence, but also increases your sense of success, laying a solid foundation for further learning English.

mnemonic method of English words II: letter combination change mnemonic method

Based on a certain word, adding, subtracting, changing and adjusting a letter in an English word becomes another new word.

The specific method is as follows:

Add letters before it, for example: is-his, ear-near/hear, read-bread. Add letters after it, such as: hear-heart, you-your, plane-planet.

add letters in the middle, such as: though-through, tree-three, for-four.

subtract letters, such as: she-he, close-lose, start-star. Change letters, for example: book-look/cook, cake-lake/wake/make/take.

adjust letters (that is, change the alphabetical order), for example, blow-bowl, sing-sign, from-form.

In addition, we can simplify the spelling and regroup of words. Sometimes we need to regroup an odd and difficult-to-remember word and simplify the memorizing procedure, so as to make it interesting and vivid.

For example, change the "ign" in "sign" into "ing", recombine it into "sing" (singing), and then remember "sign" with "sing"; Put the "e" in "ear" after "ar", recombine it into "are" (yes), and then remember "ear" with "are"; Put the "e" in "leak" after the "k", reassemble it into "lake", and then remember "leak" with "lake".

mnemonic method of English words III: Comparative mnemonic method

Comparison is an important means for people to know the objective world. Only by comparison can we identify things, and it is difficult to understand the relationship between things without comparison.

This paper introduces the method of comparing and analyzing similar but different words, and figuring out their similarities and differences for memory.

For example:

Changing a vowel word can transform different words: ball, bell, bill;

changing a consonant can transform different words: fight, light, strong, night, right, sight, tight;

words with the same sound but different meanings: sun and son, too and two;

The sounds and shapes are the same, but the meanings are different: light and light;

the meanings are the same: also/too/either, ago/before/past, each/every/all, because/as/for;

opposite meanings: yes/no, old/new, right/wrong, up/down, young/old and so on.

English word memorization method 4: associative memorization method

Pavlov, a famous physiologist in the Soviet Union, pointed out: "Memory depends on association, and association is the product of the connection between old and new knowledge." Association is the basis of memory. Associative memory of words is to make full use of divergent thinking to expand one's imagination, from point to point, from a word to various forms, structures and usages related to it as much as possible. Make the English words to be memorized vivid, vivid and systematic, and establish an absurd, exaggerated, bizarre and unreasonable connection between the new words and the old words, which will be unforgettable for life, so as to achieve the purpose of bringing the old with the new and remembering quickly.

the new word bake(vt. bake) uses associative memory to make a cake and bake it at the lake (

bake);

when playing, I think of: ball, (play) basketball, (play )football, playground, etc.

dining-room, (have) breakfast, (have )lunch and so on are associated with eating;

I think of: bed, bedroom, go to bed, sleep, go to sleep, fall

asleep and so on.

if you accumulate over a long period and persevere, you can make many a mickle, so that you can accumulate little and grow thick.

English word memorization method 5: classified memorization method

English vocabulary is extremely rich, and it is of great benefit if words can be memorized in different categories. Classification methods vary from person to person, from hobby to hobby, and are flexible and diverse.

If we classify them according to their nature and use, it will be easy to consolidate and remember them, such as by color, school supplies, transportation, food, daily necessities, etc., and we can also classify them according to subject name, time, number, season, animals and plants, professional name, place name and map name, etc. Adopt the method of classification. When learning a new word, you can also learn related words of the same kind. For example, the classification of time is as follows:

time: century, year, season, month, week, day, night, hour, quarter, minute, second.

seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter.

Months: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Week: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Days: the day before yesterday, yesterday, today, tomorrow, The day after tomorrow.

day and night: dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, even, mid-night.

English word memorization method 6: repetition memorization method

repetition can deepen the "trace" of memory. As the saying goes, "once born, twice acquainted, three times become a master", but this repetition is not a simple, mechanical reciprocating, but a proper interval and rest. According to Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, people's forgetting begins after memorizing, first fast and then slow. Therefore, the review interval should be short first and then long.

Remember it every 2 minutes after the first memory, the third time the next day, the fourth time a week later, and the fifth time a month later. Repetition can not only form a long memory, but also achieve good results.

I once heard an example: if you stare at a person for three hours and never see him again, then maybe you will forget his appearance after one or two months, but if you divide these three hours into many days and only look at that person for one or two minutes every day, you will never forget his appearance.

The specific way is to specify the number of words you recite in one day, and then recite these words at regular intervals throughout the day, the interval should not be too short, and then recite them every few days after memorizing them. If this cycle goes on, you will get a good memory effect. This method is suitable for people who have plenty of time and can devote a period of time to learning English. It takes perseverance to persist in reciting.

memorizing English words seven: memorizing stories

Reading stories and memorizing words is a very interesting and entertaining method.

mnemonic method of English words VIII: chart mnemonic method

The chart method can be used to organize scattered and scattered materials and memorize them as a whole. Charts can help learners quickly discover the similarities and differences between various memories and present their internal relations. Adopting chart memory is helpful to store memorizing information regularly and extract it quickly.

For example, some prepositions that express the concept of space are often mistaken or confused only from the content of Chinese translation, but if they are represented by pictures, they are easy to understand and remember, such as: under/Beneath, on/over/above, across/through, in/on/to the south, in/into and so on.

Some contents in English are suitable for tabulation, which is easy to understand and leaves a deeper impression on students, such as personal nominative pronouns, accusative pronouns, adjective possessive pronouns, nominal possessive pronouns and reflexive pronouns.

English word memorization method 9: symmetrical image thinking memory

There are often some symmetrical phenomena in English words, which is no different from buildings. Knowing this, we can put forward some symmetrical parts of the word separately and remember them as a whole image, which can be relaxed and interesting.

for example: tomorrow tomorrow "orro"; Cabbage cabbage "abba"; Tomato tomato "to...to"; Cotton cotton "otto"; Chuch church "ch...ch"; Museum museum "mu...um"; Common is usually "ommo"; Follow "ollo" and so on.

English word memorization method X: pictographic memory

Pictographic words are created by people using the pictographic (shape), characteristics and actions of the whole or partial structure of words. In the process of memory, intuitive images and thinking in images are used as much as possible to improve the memory effect. This kind of words occupies an important position in English. As long as we grasp this feature, it will be much easier to remember words. There are many pictographs in English, but they are rarely found by people.

for example: eye see meet sleep (e, e stands for two eyes); Bed(b, d stand for front and rear bedside); Cup(u is a cup); Banana(a stands for banana petals and n stands for connected handles); Rabbit(b, b are two long ears) and so on.

English word memorization method XI: Sensory memorization method

Sensory memorization method is a method to mobilize the ears, mouth, eyes and hands, unify listening, speaking, reading and writing, and use multiple senses as much as possible to achieve the purpose of memorization. The advantage of this method is to communicate the connections between various parts of the cerebral cortex. Repeated exercise makes relevant information repeatedly stimulate the corresponding nerve centers in the brain, deepening the memory traces on the cerebral cortex.

You can also pay attention to the English that appears in our daily life, such as English on electrical equipment, various warnings and slogans, and you can also listen to foreign songs and enjoy foreign movies and TV shows ..... You can remember it naturally after hearing it for a long time.

Example: Some people talk about pentium all day long, but they don't know the root meaning of Pent. They only know Lenovo and Founder, but they don't know legend, founder. In fact, as long as you pay a little attention, there are the words battery on the outer packaging of brand batteries, shampoos on the outside of shampoo bottles, OTC(Over the Counter) on some medicine packaging boxes, etc.

In the process of teaching, teachers should properly infiltrate relevant knowledge and educate students to observe and accumulate more. Be a conscientious person.

English word memorization method 12: Game memorization

In primary school, memorizing English words is a difficult point. Various games should be introduced in word memory, which can not only effectively adjust the atmosphere of English learning and stimulate students' interest in learning,
