merhaba!
my method for learning vocabulary implies a pocket notebook which is always in my bag, from which I read whenever I have a little spare time (when I stand in a line, or travel by bus or by underground etc).
I also revise the vocabulary when I am at home by doing translations of simmple sentences.
For the words which seem to "trick" my memory, I put them down on post-its and stick them on the mirror in my room so that I have them before my eyes until I am sure I have memorised them.
hepimize iyi sanslar!

Those are great tips! At the moment I'm having trouble memorizing new words and I'll definitely try your notebook tip. I've done something similar in the past but never took it too seriously (unfortunately), suppose it's time to make a new attempt!

I use a different and old technique when I learn new english words. I think turkish learners can use this too. I cut a paper to small pieces. I write turkish of it on one side and other side english. I prepare plenty of them. I put it in my pocket. if I can know it correctly I put it into my other pocket. in this way I find time to study all day in bus, when I m outside, everywhere. sometimes we must turn back to our primary school years

I think you are right about using techniques from childhood. Repetition and visual techniques are the same as our parents used to teach us our native language - and they still work

I learn words in three ways.....
- By reading and looking up any words that I don't recognise. Eventually they sink in but usually have to be looked up many times because I am usually struggling to follow the grammar. Although I don't read anything like enough!
- By trying to construct simple sentences in my head all the time to describe things around me. Such as stating that "I have fed the dogs" or that "I am making coffee". When I need a word I don't know, I look it up and eventually it sinks in.
- By repetitive testing. I use an online test that I have written although it still needs lots more words adding to it. If you find it useful you can find it HERE

i use similar techniques to memorise words because i believe using several methods strengthens knowledge and understanding...

I also feel that looking up words as you read them or want to use them helps you to learn the words that you use and allows you to leave the ones that you don't use very often until your vocabulary has increased.
