Many teachers suggest learning English by using mnemonics (助记术). Mnemonics are methods to help remember information.
The loci (轨迹) method
This method is very useful for remembering lists of words. First, you need to form a path (路线). Next, looking at the words, you will create a picture that isn’t easy to forget for each word. Then, imagine walking down your path and put the pictures at certain places. Finally, put away the words and move along the path in your mind again.
The connection method
To remember a word, it is helpful to connect it with a picture. For example, if you are trying to remember the meaning of the word “tremendous”, you might connect it with trees and men. Say the word “tremendous”, and you hear “tree” and “men”. This connection of meaning, sound and picture can help you remember new words quickly.
The grouping method
Try to remember the following words: pencil, notebook, book, newspaper, pen, paper. Try dividing them into smaller groups (things you write with; things you write on; things you read). And you’ll probably find that you are able to remember more words.
What these three methods have in common is the idea of active learning. We’ve looked at just a few mnemonics. In the end, it really depends on your own learning style and how you keep information. Why not find the one that works best for you?

The best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is speaking English as much as possible. Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. Don’t be unhappy if people laugh at your mistakes. It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don’t understand what you are saying. When you make a mistake, you should keep your sense of humor. The most important thing for learning English is: “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.”
