Hello guys. This is Kate Zh. In this episode I am gonna tell you about a strategy to remember new words forever.

I know this is a big problem for everyone when they are learning a new language. Now I am learning a new language which is Korean. To be honest I forgot how hard it is to study words in a language which you don’t know completely. I was completely astounded because I just couldn’t remember new words.

Here is a strategy I use to memorize these Korean words.

Step number 1: look at new words, translate them(if you are a beginner) or find the definition(if you are an old hand.

Step number 2: read the context with new words again. You should always see the context. This is why we easily remember the words from songs and movies.

Step number 3: read other sentences with these words. There are good websites which provide you with a lot of context.

Step number 4: ask your friend to read you the sentence and you have to add the new words.

Step number 5: Write your sentences using new words and talk to your friend or record your speech, again, yes, using new words.

That’s the strategy, guys, I hope it was useful. Come to my lessons if you want to make some progress in your English.

NEW WORDS: HOW TO REMEMBER THEM FOREVER

La leyenda del Hombre Caimán proviene de la región del río Magdalena, especialmente en el pueblo de Plato, Magdalena. La historia cuenta que un hombre llamado Saúl Solarte, muy curioso y coqueto, tenía la costumbre de espiar a las mujeres cuando se bañaban en el río. Para hacerlo sin ser visto, fue a donde un brujo, quien le dio una poción que lo convertía en caimán durante el día, para poder nadar y espiar sin levantar sospechas.

Al principio, Saúl lograba volver a su forma humana cada vez que lo deseaba, pero un día, el hechizo falló. Se quedó atrapado en el cuerpo de un caimán, conservando solo su cabeza humana. Desde entonces, el Hombre Caimán ha vivido en el río, ocultándose entre los animales y esperando una cura que le permita volver a ser humano.

Las mujeres del pueblo tienen mucho cuidado al acercarse al río, por miedo a que el Hombre Caimán las ataque o las persiga. Se dice que por las noches, su lamento puede oírse desde las orillas del río, arrepentido por su curiosidad y mal comportamiento.
