Methods of how to keep the words in my mind permanently

[Sangga]

Dear Teacher,

Hi. I am a new comer in this forum. My name is Sangga, Indonesia. It is my first question. Before, I am sorry if my question has been asked before.

The question is: Would you like give me some methods of how to keep the words in my mind permanently?

I look forward to waiting for your answer.
Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Sangga

Read a lot. When you meet a word over and over in a book it sticks.

...

To remember a word...it is better to give some visual relation to some familiar object(s) to that word..

For example...if you want to remember vaccination...take the first syllable as 'wax', put a picture of a can containing the cleaning wax in your mind..and then take the second syllable..'nation', put a picture of your Indonesia Map in your mind. So if you want to recall the word 'vaccination', you will get all the pictures you have already deposited in your mind...and all of a sudden you will remember the exact word..

Will it work with you ..please. let us know..

Same question, but it's a little different.

Is there any trick to help me remember Compound Nouns ?

Hi Sangga,

There is an expression - I learned it at my mother's knee, suggesting that's something you have learnt since you were a baby. And one of the important things is learning your native language. When you come to learning another language you have to go back in a way to that state of mind and repeat and repeat what you hear said to you. That way the words stay in your mind.
