  • I’m Brazilian and am have been learning German for about two years. The school is very good and I am already very conversant with the language’s grammar and structure, but have more problems to memorise new words than my class colleges – sometimes I have to look for a word in the dictionary on more than three separate occasions before I can efficiently remember it.
    Any suggestions on how can I improve my learning?

  • Hello Everybody!
    Originally I am Polish and found on this website that Polish is extremely hard for Americans or probably English speaker.Would you like to explain what is so difficult in Polish,because I’d love to know that and understand.If I could be helpful somehow it will be my pleasure.
    Thank you,

  • Hello Luiz,
    In response to your question ‘How to learn/memorise words’ I found a wonderful method just by chance. It is called the Michael Gruneberg Link Word Method. It is in the U.K. I used to find it difficult to remember vocabulary, but not any more! The only extra thing I did to add to the Link Word Method was when I first imagined the new word, I made sure I remembered the gender by adding a male or female to my mental picture. It was like magic! A true break through for me, learning French. Good luck to you.
