Learning a wide variety of Spanish words according to a
specific context is a great way to acquire new Spanish
vocabulary that is useful to our everyday lives, which
coincidentally is one of the best ways to remember new
words when learning Spanish for beginners.
By using these words in any context that is familiar to us,
remembering them will be much easier because we get
to see, smell and touch many of the things associated
with these new words (and those multi-sensorial mental
associations are much stronger).
Next time you go to a supermarket (even if it is at home
and nobody speaks Spanish) try to think of the questions
you would ask in order to buy all the things you need.
By forcing yourself to ask questions that include new
Spanish vocabulary words (even if this happens in
your mind), you will realize which Spanish words
should be the next on your study list.
Make sure you bring a little notepad with you and make
notes as you realize which are the words and phrases in
Spanish you need to learn next.
