 How to learn the words?

1. The main rule is to learn the words in context (in phrases, make the sentence). 

e.g. I got a good mark yesterday. (get = obtain отримати) 

       I get up at 7 o`clock every day. (get up = wake up встатати)

       I got a new pair of shoes. (get = buy купувати)

2. Make the stories with a new vocabulary (especially funny and senseless). It`s better to remember.

3. Repetition. Please use the rule to repeat the known vocabulary at least once a month.

4. Make a set of words after the lesson or topic in interactive platform - Quizlet. 

5. You can add the new words on Viber and set yourself a reminder on the words in a week, then in two weeks and etc.

6. If you find the new words, remember it with the words that have the same root: success/successful/unsuccessful/succeed/successor

7. Use the stickers - the old and good method. You can stick on the furniture, doors, fridge. The words that are especially difficult to remember you can highlight with highlighter. Let`s look at the video about grandfather who wants to learn English.
