I have a big memory challenge: I always forget new English words quickly. My goal is to find good ways to remember words well.
I plan to try three methods. First, I will connect each new word with a picture in my mind. Second, I will learn words in small groups and review them daily. Third, I will be confident and not get worried when I forget words.
There is no perfect way for everyone. I will practise and find out which way suits me best. I believe I can make progress little by little.
