Best way to memorize words fast and effectively
xbrix replied to Dieselfit's topic in English Vocabulary
How I memorize my words is by repeating it tons of times. After about 5 minutes, the word, definition, and spelling will all be stuck in my head. -
I always get extremely stressed out before exams. I'll know all the information right before the exam, but I feel like I forget everything that I learned right before I take it.

When A Website Is In A Language That You Don't Understand
xbrix replied to Lin's topic in Language Learning
I've only been to a few websites that were in a different language, but my browser was able to translate it for me. -
Did you have a pen pal in your foreign language class?
xbrix replied to sayitwell's topic in Language Learning
I used to have a pen pal last year that lived in France, but the letters always took forever to deliver, so we only were able to send about 8 or so letters to each other. -
If I could learn a new language, it would be Japanese. I haven't tried learning it because I think that all the symbols would be hard to learn and write all the time. But I think it'd be really cool to fully learn the whole language.

Do you keep track of how large your vocabulary is?
xbrix replied to Hedonologist's topic in Language Learning
I've never actually thought of keeping track of my vocab. Now hearing about it, I think that I actually want it. It would be a way to kind of keep me wanting to learn more, I guess. What was the program that you used called? -
I don't carry an actual dictionary with me because there's one on my phone. I use it whenever I'm reading or something, and instead of asking someone what it means, I'll just use my dictionary.

I think that I'm in between. I could be a fast reader if I just read through it, but I like to read some lines a couple of times, just because I like to make sure that I understand it completely.

When I watch normal TV shows, I never usually hear any grammar mistakes when watching normal TV, but whenever I watch the news, I hear at least 1.

I don't like it when people use shortcuts. It really gets on my nerves. I use perfect grammar and punctuation as well when texting.

That's really interesting to know. I would've thought that it was a new recent word.

Recently, my favorite book to read have been The Fault in Our Stars. I like The Fault in Our Stars because it has a great story line. It's about a girl with cancer, and I was crying by the end of the book.

I think you might be able to be fluent in only one lesson, but not the whole language.

How many languages are currently spoken in your country?
xbrix replied to Trellum's topic in Language Learning
I live in the United States, so there are tons of languages spoken in my country. People move in from other countries, and people also learn other languages.
