Some people prefer repeated drills. It works great especially for young people. Some others like to analyze a new word. It works better if he has some knowledge of etymology and phonology. But if etymology fails to help, this "word analysis" may still help with creating a hint as a mnemonic. I use this method extensively (and even wrote a little book about it). To see examples, visit

where almost every entry is like a mini-blog.

Any critique is welcome.

looks pretty cool yong321. It's always nice to know a little bit about the etymology of words. It definitely helps me to learn new vocab faster.
