We have already talked about slovokartochkah and method "Sing with me"This time you will learn about another, quite sticky mode (in the literal and figurative senses of the word).
Today we "opolovinim" number of our ways and take a little break, and then continue to the most interesting and delicious - podcasts, blogs and other cool stuff.
Stiking
Author notes immediately warns - he personally against words like "stiking", "jeeping", "loshading / Koning" and other types of verbal monsters, but since we are already talking about foreign words, now you can.
The name of the present method is derived from the word "sticker" - it is such a small piece of paper with an adhesive edge, which is still often call of memo - it is very convenient to write something and then stick in a prominent place - will not pass so as not to notice. It is this feature of stickers and we will use.
Our current method is very useful to people who are going to travel or live abroad - the first thing they face is not a volume of Shakespeare, and many household appliances and trifles. The author has personally watched as the man in the head which, according to him, is a thick dictionary, could not explain what it is, excuse me, the toilet (in the room broke his aforesaid). Come to the aid of onomatopoeia (onomatopoeia but one, as we know, does not go far).
Take a thick pack of stickers and decomposes them around the house - in the cabinets, appliances, switches, all the small elements like Deborah, chandeliers, door handles and picture frames. Also, be sure to affix stickers on everything that you have in the bathroom - from soap to the aforementioned toilet and stuff like razor. Now go to the dictionary and write on each sticker meaning in angliyki (or your preferred language). Done! All you now have to do - is to live in an atmosphere of stickers and automatically memorize the values you familiar things.
The words fast enough to soak into your head, and you do not have to exert much effort to remember - everything will happen by itself.
This method is good to use when you live alone in the house - your household can be pasted against the pile of leaves. We also recommend not to glue stickers on household pets and themselves (for the same reason).
author's experience shows that only a couple of days to ensure that sufficient detail to remember names objects and things that we see every day, and that we often use, while in the English-speaking environment. A toilet in English, by the way, is familiar to us voterklozet — water closet (You can also easily call him a WC - you will understand). Record on the sticker and stick!
