Hey guys, welcome to Lingua Marina.
2
Let's talk about memorizing words in English and let's talk about five ways you can do that.
3
I know this problem when you're like struggling to learn so many words.
4
I remember when I was preparing for my GRE.
5
First, I thought I would be taking GRE for my master's admissions and I started preparing and there was this book,
6
1000 Words You Need to Know for Your GRE Test.
7
And I opened it and GRE test is this completely crazy test that Americans take to get into a master's program.
8
And it has all the words that you never use.
9
I was like, I have two months to prepare and I have 1,000 words that I've never seen before.
10
Like, how do I learn them?
11
Luckily, I had to take GMAT instead of a GRE and GMAT is a lot easier in terms of vocabulary.
12
But I started learning those words and I started researching different methods that I can use to learn new words.
13
and I also struggled because I was learning two languages at the same time.
14
I was learning English and German and having to learn words in English, having to learn words in German and not mixing them up was a challenge.
15
So there are so many ways and
16
so many methods I've tried to learn words and I just wanted to share them with you in this video.
17
So if you have the situation where you either have to learn a lot of new words
18
or you realize that when you speak English or
19
when you write in English you suddenly run out of vocabulary
20
and you know everything in your language but in English you're stuck
21
so if you have the situation please continue watching this video
22
and watch it up to the very end
23
because we're gonna talk about top five ways to memorize new
24
words in English first of all I want you to remember about the so-called self-reference effect it means
25
that we remember everything better when it's related to us
26
so whenever you encounter a new word try to see how it relates to you how you can incorporate
27
that in your life this is very important so this is why
28
when you learn your words
29
when you do exercises you would see a task to come
30
up with a sentence using this word always make it relatable to you the second thing is
31
that a lot of people I tell I don't know maybe you've heard this advice
32
but if you're watching a new movie
33
or you're reading a book write everything down write all the new words down etc
34
so two tips here tip number one write everything down with a pencil the studies show
35
that you just memorize everything better this way second tip stop
36
doing it like this is the worst advice I've ever got
37
like writing down everything I don't understand in a book even now
38
and I've been speaking English since well I've been learning English since I was four
39
and I've been using English every single day for the past six years
40
and anyway when I'm reading a book I still encounter
41
so many new words I never ever write them all down I only write words down
42
that relate to me if I see a word and I realize
43
that I've heard it before and I realize that people actually used it
44
when they talk to me
45
and I still don't know its meaning I'm gonna write it
46
down I actually have a note in my iPhone I don't do this a lot of times
47
because I mostly read from my iPhone or I listen to audiobooks
48
but I I would write words down in a note called new vocabulary
49
and I would get back to it all the time and I would just check the words that I've remembered.
50
So no need to write everything down, please don't do it.
51
The worst thing is when you start doing it, you lose interest to what's the book you lose interest towards the movie
52
because you just realize all you do is pausing
53
and pausing pausing to write words down so only write those words down that either
54
strongly affect your understanding of the book or you've seen them
55
so many times and you still don't know them
56
and you're like i need to know them but please choose the book
57
and the movie wisely because if there are too many new words
58
if there are too many complications you'd be like i don't want to read anymore
59
and this is the last thing i want you to do
60
with english i want you to enjoy learning english i want you to enjoy using it
61
while watching movies
62
and tv shows start with the simpsons start with the i
63
know south park maybe not the best idea uh start with
64
um basic books on i know the subtle art of not
65
giving a f-u-c-k uh by mark manson was one of my
66
favorite books it's it's very good in terms of like psychology
67
but it also not it's also not too hard in terms of language
68
because whenever I try to read books and like the sapience, the human history, I just, well, it's too difficult even for me.
69
I don't like, I didn't like, I didn't enjoy really reading that book because it was just, I was just overwhelmed with specific terms.
70
Okay, now let's talk about the methods.
71
Sorry about the backstory, but I think we need to, you know, we need to talk about those things.
72
They're super important.
73
Method number one, flashcards.
74
I know so many people use them and
75
so we're actually going to combine two methods here flashcards it's great like
76
and try to make them relatable to you again so
77
when you have a word try to write down the sentence
78
that would remind you of something in your life
79
that would resonate with you but also there is this method
80
and it's method number two it is called a memory palace
81
so instead of just having the flashcards wherever you have them
82
i have this pocket on my phone where i store cards you could put the cards there like
83
if you have this pocket you could get it anywhere i guess
84
or you can put them in your wallet
85
but the best thing is to create a memory palace in your bedroom
86
or in your study and some people say
87
that you place the cards with the new words on objects
88
associated with those words like for example i have golden gate bridge over there
89
and if i was learning new words i would put cards like i know um commuting right
90
when you travel to work so commute i would put them there
91
and because our brain it just likes different types of memory it likes to combine visual stuff space stuff
92
because we're like we're in the space like to feel ourselves in the space
93
and um our visual memory so here you're combining three of those things
94
and it just helps you memorize words
95
so this is the first uh approach you can use
96
so you kind of put everything associated with travel on gold gate bridge
97
and here we have this is you can't really see the top
98
but it's silicon valley 1986 so whatever you associate with innovation can be put there
99
but what i found a lot more useful and easier to implement is
100
when you put flashcards on completely unrelated object like I don't
101
commute I would just put it on you know my bed
102
and that's it this weird thing
103
that works for me association with an object that's completely unrelated
104
that helps me memorize words
105
and it also sometimes you just can't find an object in your apartment
106
that associates with one particular word so remember about this concept memory space
107
and you can create the space anywhere in your apartment just
108
make sure you're visited it can actually be in your phone even, but because we want to use this sense that we have as human beings being in the space,
109
would really help you with those flashcards.
110
And by the way, guys, in my workbook that I keep talking about in my videos, we have a list of words
111
that you need to know in English to communicate with the native speakers and to use it as an instrument.
112
And we also have a piece of paper that you can print out and actually cut out those flashcards and use them.
113
So the link to my workbook will be down below.
114
Please use it to create those flashcards
115
and please use it as a list of words
116
that you need to know in order to use English to achieve your goals.
117
Another quick tip for you guys, you might be wondering when I create a flashcard, do I write a translation of a word or do I write an explanation in English?
118
Of course you do the second and it's actually harder.
119
But the thing is, a study was done on whether people memorized more words in the first case
120
when they translated everything in their own language or
121
when they created explanations in english so basically people in the first group
122
that translate people who translated they were able to memorize more words
123
but they were able to memorize them short term people in the second group memorize less words
124
but they were able to use them long term in real context because the problem with translating the word,
125
it doesn't really give you the context because English doesn't equal your language 100%
126
and it might be hard for you later on to actually use those words.
127
And this is something similar to like this memory when we prepare for an exam overnight, we study the whole night, the next day we take the exam,
128
we pass it, everything is great, but then in a week people ask us for some information that was in that exam and we can't remember.
129
This is kind of the same thing.
130
When you translate words into your own language you can learn them
131
and you can remember them the next day
132
but would you be able to use them in a week
133
would you be able to use them in a month i don't know
134
and our goal with with the language is to use it right
135
so i would highly encourage you to not translate the words
136
on the flashcards i would encourage you to write a description
137
and of course don't forget to practice your words so
138
if it's a memory palace
139
if it's a memory space then you just walk through it you know every single day
140
and you learn the words naturally
141
if your memory palaces is a note on your phone then please make sure you revisit it once a day
142
and twice a day and just look through those words the next method is called the 90 second method and an
143
interesting thing about us about our brain is that we memorize things better if we encounter them seven to nine times.
144
So people actually came up with a method where you repeat phrases seven to nine times in order to memorize them.
145
This number of times helps our brain build connections, connect neurons, and if you know there is like this long-term memory,
146
sometimes when we repeat something or we do something that neurons form this long-term connection, but this happens randomly in our heads.
147
I think you can totally relate to it.
148
Sometimes we just remember random facts we don't need to remember them.
149
This is because at that time, this is what was explained to me, I'm not a neuroscientist or whatever, but what people say is that when something happened or you read something,
150
connection was formed in your brain and you can't control it.
151
But if you repeat a word seven to nine times, there is first higher chance you would remember it
152
and there is a higher chance that a long-term connection will be formed at that moment.
153
So please use this neuroscientific hack to memorize phrases.
154
So here's the method that you can use.
155
So imagine you have this list of the words you need to learn.
156
For the first seven days, every day, you just read it out loud.
157
Takes 10 seconds.
158
You read it out loud one to two times for seven days.
159
After a seven-day break, you read this word out loud three times for 10 seconds at a motion.
160
Read it out loudly, not to yourself.
161
It's really important.
162
Two weeks later, you read it out loud again three times in 10 seconds.
163
So this way you have 70 seconds in the first week, 10 seconds your second repetition, 10 seconds your third repetition, you have 90 seconds this is a 90 second rule to follow
164
if you want to learn new words
165
and of course please don't forget to create a calendar for yourself to take the repetitions off
166
so you keep track of whatever you're doing the next method is to make up stories something
167
that i'm a pro at i loved to make up stories
168
when i was learning english at home in russia i would just take a list of words
169
that i needed to know
170
and i actually had a diary where i wrote everything down what happened to me
171
and because i was learning two languages at a time first i wrote my diary in english
172
so that my parents don't understand
173
but then i realized my mom actually understands english i was
174
like she she wasn't reading my diary it's just i was
175
so careful about it i started doing that in german and
176
that was an amazing practice
177
so whenever you have like a list of words try to
178
come up with a story using those words try to insert them like diary would be the best just because
179
if you make it a regular habit you don't have to
180
come up with weird stories you just write something about your day
181
and you make sure that you include all the words
182
that you need to learn like every day could be 10 new words
183
or well five to ten new words that you're practicing
184
and you just um use them in your diary you just use them in your stories
185
and this way you're also protecting yourself from from whoever might read your diary
186
because you're using english and i don't know what's what's the situation in your family
187
but that really helped me practice when i didn't have anyone to practice
188
and remember when i was learning english
189
and german there was no uh well there was internet connection
190
but it wasn't available in my place it wasn't available for maybe like 10 to 15 minutes a day
191
so i couldn't practice with with other people and the last
192
but not the least please use post-it notes uh whenever you forget a word whenever you feel
193
that all of the methods
194
that i've mentioned don't work well i put post-it notes on objects
195
that i see every single day like my mirror in my
196
bathroom something i would never forget something i would stare at
197
every single day post-it notes really really help as well thank you guys
198
so much for watching this video up to the very end i just wanted to remind you
199
that space learning works the best don't try to learn 1
200
000 new words in a day though i know i have a similar video
201
but when you actually watch
202
that video you realize i'm not talking about learning 1 000
203
random words a day there is actually a structure there
204
but anyways don't learn too many words at a time i
205
would say three to five words a day is the maximum
206
do the space learning try to spend five to ten minutes a day learning your words by the way
207
if you wanted to read more about our memory i would highly recommend two books unlimited memory by kevin horsley
208
and use your memory by tony buzan thank you guys
209
so much for watching this video up to the very end

Contexto e Experiência Prática

No vídeo, a professora compartilha sua jornada de aprendizado de idiomas, incluindo desafios como memorizar 1.000 palavras para o GRE e equilibrar o estudo de inglês e alemão. Sua experiência prática revela métodos eficazes para reter vocabulário, evitando estratégias inúteis e focando em o que realmente funciona.

Cinco Dicas Essenciais para Memorizar Palavras em Inglês

  • Efeito de AutoReferência: Relacione novas palavras à sua vida. Criar frases pessoais (ex: "Essa palavra me lembra a viagem que fiz") ajuda a fixá-las melhor.
  • Escrever com Lápis: Estudos mostram que a escrita manual melhora a memória. Mas evite anotar todas as palavras novas — priorize aquelas que você ouve com frequência.
  • Seletividade na Anotação: Use um aplicativo (como o Bloco de Notas do iPhone) para registrar apenas palavras relevantes, que aparecem em conversas reais. Volte a elas regularmente para revisar.
  • Evite a Sobrecarga: Não perca tempo com palavras raras ou desnecessárias. Foque em termos que você realmente usará ao falar ou escrever em inglês.
  • Prática Contínua: Integrar as palavras no seu dia a dia, seja por meio de conversas ou leitura, garante que elas não se percam na memória.

Guia Passo a Passo para o Shadowing em Inglês

O shadowing (técnica de repetir frases imediatamente após ouvi-las) é excelente para melhorar a pronúncia e a fluência. Aqui como aplicá-lo nesse vídeo:

  1. Escute e Identifique: Assista o vídeo uma vez para entender o contexto. Marque trechos com as dicas de memorização (ex: a parte sobre o efeito de autoreferência).
  2. Repita em Tempo Real: Toque um trecho curto (5-10 segundos) e repita imediatamente, copiando a entonação e o ritmo. Use o shadow speak para se aproximar da pronúncia nativa.
  3. Anote e Revise: Após o shadowing, anote as palavras-chave (como "self-reference effect") e crie frases próprias. Isso combina a técnica de memorização com a prática de fala.
  4. Use um Site de Shadowing: Plataformas especializadas podem ajudar a controlar o tempo e a comparar sua fala com a do narrador, aprimorando o shadow speech.

Com essas estratégias, você não apenas aprende palavras, mas as torna parte do seu vocabulário ativo, tornando o inglês mais natural e fluente.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
