The Phonetic Association Method is a way to make vocabulary learning easier. The strategy is based on the selection of resembled sounds. With it, you can memorize up to 30-50 words per day. It is a life hack, when in a short time you need to learn a large number of words.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using this method, English words merge, forming new combinations in Russian. In its sound, a Russian word can be similar to some English words, but do not forget that these words are completely different in meaning.<\/p>\n

After reading the expression in English, imagine its vivid picture. You can even come up with a whole story about this object using mnemonic<\/a> technics. When there are phrases, remember them as they are. For Russian-speaking people to understand you, words must be in the correct order, and not mixed. Read what a similar sound means in Russian. The associated image will link the original meaning with the one you are learning. This will work both ways when you hear this word or phrase, either in English or Russian. The<\/span> regular practice of such memorization methods will soon transform at an unconscious level.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin our word game!<\/p>\n
