Whether you are a total beginner, or advanced speaker, expanding your Spanish vocab is really important. This article provides a useful method to help you find, organise and eventually remember new Spanish vocab.
Firstly it is important to get yourself a well organised Spanish vocab book which you can add to whenever you come across new vocab- one way to do this is to create a word processing document although some people prefer having a book to write in and revise from. I would however suggest that all your Spanish learning can now be done online so an online vocab book is a logical next step.
Organising the book means separating pages into certain themes – for beginners this could be the very basics such as colours, parts of the body, numbers etc. However as your vocabulary improves new sections will be required – these would include vocab topics such as the environment and more difficult adjectives such as those for personality / human appearance / object appearance etc.
You need to ensure that these vocab areas are specific enough to be useful and this is to say certainly no larger than 50 words once you have mastered the entire vocab for that topic. To do this you could split categories in to different more specific sections as you improve – for instance you could split sport into football (such as vocab for goal, referee, pitch, stadium etc), tennis and then more obscure sports. Don’t be afraid to repeat vocab over different sections as the more you see a Spanish word the more likely it will stay in your brain.
