I like English, but I hate to remember some difficult English words, especially some long words without any forming rules or regularities. Do you have some good ways of remembering English words? If you have some, we can share them with each other.

If you want to remember some thing, you should read it repeatedly. Repeat the words you want to learn them by your heart and soul. Take deep interest. If the words are lengthy then you should divide them in different parts and you should try to learn them in parts or pieces. Such as umbrella could easily learn if you break it in pieces like: um-bre-la, this will help you remember both the words and their spelling. Dis-cip-line is three pieces of discipline which serve to remember the word with its spelling.

I find remembering English words easier if they sound "bombastic". It is only when they sound cool and bombastic that I actually take the trouble to remember the word by heart and look up its meaning in the dictionary. By reading often (books, novels, newspapers), I am bound to come across words that are new to me. I find remembering these new words much easier if I actually write them down in a notebook, look up its meaning and write it down as well, and read through them when I have the time again. I find these work for me. Perhaps you could try them too.... =)

The fast way is to repeatedly say the words everyday, while the slow way is to write them down with the meaning attached. I do this both. The first method, I use it when I'm studying Japanese language while I use the second method with English because I already have some experience with it, and of course both are not my native language.
