I couldn't be remembering 10,000 words like dictionary. I can normally remember few words like talking daily. I can write what I learn it. How can I remember every words? We are young, not our white hair. But The mind animal can remember what their normal life or creation by God.

Hmm, I don't have huge memory like that computer memory system. My memory ability is limited, and I just can remember what is most vivid and recent to me. So, actually, what is your this discussion all about? It is absolutely about memory or something like that?

It is really difficult to memorize many words from the dictionary. I cannot too. If I write, words may come out. But most often, I have a hard time remembering them all. I think age has something to do with it.

Hi there, Sjaswon. We can not remember everything especially if those words are not often use, but of course we can still remember a lot. Have you heard of photographic memory wherein you associate a particular word to a picture , thing or person or even event. Say for example the word 'derogatory' , in order for me to remember this I think of a friend who is so fond of calling people names which are offensive. Thanks for the friendship, by the way.

You can try connecting the words to images and see if this visual factor can help you in remembering words. It's kind of analogous to names of an individual and the actual person.
