How to learn 50+ vocab words a day

- This is the method I used to learn over 50 vocab words a day and retain nearly all of them. Through repeating 3-4 times on a standard piece of lined paper per day, you'll learn about 48-64 words. I don't recommend you try more than 3-4 of these per day (about 30-45 minutes), but once you're comfortable with the method you can safely increase it to around 100 words per day.

ive been doing this since i was in middle school. you can memorize literally anything with this method
I did this method, but instead of vocab words, I wrote terms on one paper and their definitions on the other. It worked really well.
Where can I get myself some ancient Chinese Sky-zors?
Max White lol
It’s a special type of scissors.

Shame on your ancestor :D made me laugh!
hahaha
Hahaha
All of the other papers are the same as the first, just with more words. The idea is that you end up with several papers, each with the top half filled with English words and the bottom filled with words in your target language, and then you're quizzing yourself on them once in each direction (English --> target, then target --> English).
This is the weirdest video I've seen so far in 2015.
But cool tips, I'll test them.
Arlindo Neto well...it's really weird..but this tips is nothing new😅💢
It's 2020 now
How was your test?

It's actually the piece "Tea Roots" from artist Kevin MacLeod (website in the description). He makes free music and everyone loves to use it for their videos :)
This paper is mine
Omg i died there for some reason
😂

and this horizontal line!
daisy clemmons well....I think I'm alive?

I have to do a unit of french per day to be able to successfully complete french 2 for this summer (each containing about 100 words), and I'm doing something similar.
I write the lists down initially, and then I go back, look at the english words, and then translate them. When I mess up, I will put a dot on the paper, rewrite it, and move on. When I finish the list, I go back and take all of the words with the dots and practice only those. I continue until I can write all of the words, but I take the few that I had the most trouble with and put them on a list with all of the words I had trouble with.
It's annoying, tedious, and difficult, but it works. I got myself into this mess, and I don't plan on giving up.
"if not - shame on your ancestors" LOL
Intervals are kinda up to you, depending on what you prefer, but I don't think there's some magic number. The idea though is to keep one interval soon after doing it, then another interval later on to bring it back to your memory. The more you use the vocabulary of course the better.
love this. from now on I'll say skyzors.
сЫзорз :-D
This is hilarious! I'm definitely going to try this out, since the only thing keeping me from being conversational in Japanese is lack of vocab.
I feel your struggle
It seems useful ! I'm taking Spanish now and I think I'm gonna try this method.
Thank you Sensei.
The easiest part of learn Spanish is that is a phonetic language, the difficult part are grammar and that a one word has different meanings depending of the region. Buena suerte.
have you learned now?
Skyzors!!! aww man that was hilarious xD x)
This actually looks like a really good method! I'll definitely try it out!
So funny this video! Hahaha, I like your sense of humor :D
I'm loving this idea. Thank you!
Can you tell me , please. Did this idea make any changes for you? Did it help you to learn 50+ vocabulary a day?
did it work?
All I can say is you deserve a big fat like.
I'm struggling to learn german vocabularies.
Thanks
I get more out of adding in the extra sense of physically writing it and then quizzing myself on it than I do from learning with Anki, though I do think it's an awesome program.
There is good research evidence to back this up - adding a tactile element to your learning gives the brain another sensory channel to hook onto...
Thank u so much for your method to learn english!
The character is "囍," which is a Korean-made Chinese character that is pronounced "희" ("Hee") and means something like "may there be happiness added to your happiness."
'skyzors' hahahahahahaha i love it !!
That's correct :-) I practice by making sentences, either by writing them down or by speaking them in conversation - the latter being a bit more useful of course.
i've tried this kind of routine for my vocabulary list but didn't work out well. I have to learn with context, voice, and picture (or imagination). But it's good to share.
This kind of learning is only a first step, to give the words a toehold in your long-term memory. You have to put the vocabulary to immediate use in your speaking and writing, or you won't retain it for long!
This seems like such a great method I will try it to learn Polish.
haha got lazy -_- but i have a polish book instead
+Uniyou good luck with your polish. 👍
Adrian lol, I found a comment posted three months ago on my old account.
Imma go now on it to see what's new there
I love the way he says 'scissors' even though it's wrong. Bless >.
I know how to spell scissors xD I didn't know American's pronounced scissors like that because i'm from the UK. Sorry
RIPxBlackHawk Of course i did, it was the way u worded it -.-
RIPxBlackHawk How old are you ? 6 ? I'm kindly wording my replies and your going all harsh. Just leave it now.
I only put "-.-" because i was getting fed up of the harsh sounding comments that was all. If you re read your previous comments, they do sound harsh with all the exclamation marks. I'm not starting a fight i'm just saying
i think it's wrong.
and the way u pronounce the word "scissor" is also cute, though :))
I just yelled Pik Mei Rou with a very strong Chinese accent.
Hey Hey Pikmeir, looking forward to seeing your next video. How to learn 50+ vocab words a day was interesting.
I was not expecting that voice at all
Love this video !! Great stuff guys
Lmao skyzors!
A very helpful video, I been wondering how to practice words and how many per day and seems that I just got an answer haha. Thank you!
I love your humour. The "annoying-ness" is the best part! Thank you for listening to your heart ;-)
I personally liked it, it helped me remember the technique.
Because of this video, my exams will be a piece of cake'!
Good tip sensei. I will use it in my Spanish studies.
Nice I enjoy the video. I will try it.learning Spanish.
don't remake it, this is awesome and fun, anyone who complains is useless and "shame to their ancestors" =)
oh and I forgot to mention this looks damn effective! do you use other intervals beyond first few hourly repetitions? e.g. next day, in 3 days, in a week, in a month?
These methods have been preserved in the secret archives of ancient china and would have been only offered to those who might be considered strong candidates of future emperors. Shifu Pikmeir honors the dynasty by continuing the path of the teachings.
It was good one. I will use it in my Arabic vocabularies list
Guys, I don't know what the hell this guy is talking about. But I have found two very effective techniques for memorizing words. (1) One is that you select some manageable number, say 10-40, and you go to google, find an image that captures the essence of the word to you, or use the snipping tool and paint to bring together different images into one, then you paste these images into a word document. You can print out a crapload of copies and keep writing the word above each image without looking until you can label the whole page from memory almost perfectly spelled several times in a row. It may take a few pages or may take up to 20 copies or more, but if you keep doing it, you will memorize them. Then you make sure you do it every day for like at least 10 days or so. By the third or fourth day you generally have the words memorized almost perfectly, so it may only require a page or two by that day to review, but it is essential to continue at this point until it is very heavily put into your brain. The disadvantage is that it takes paper, it takes time, it takes ink, it may be difficult to express some words with a single image, but the advantage is that you stick these words into your brain long term and bypass any translation problems because you are thinking in images not words. (2) Is also effective and is just fill in the blank method. Get an article or a bunch of sentences, and go through and put blank spaces wherever you want the word or phrase to be recalled. Next to the blank space, put parentheses with the mother tongue word equivalent next to the blank. Print out a shitload of copies of the blanks and keep filling it out until you can fill it out from memory, and repeat again for like 10 days in a row. The advantage with this is that you get the context, but it may be slightly harder to memorize without a picture. FINAL POINTS: Writing things down is essential. Daily review for a period of several days is essential. If you cannot memorize the whole list at once, just try to successfully fill in say 3 blanks at a time, then flip to a fresh blank page, and make sure you can do those 3 again and again, then try to do 3 more, then repeat, and keep building up until you can reproduce the whole thing. You will forget a lot for a while, several days most likely, but it will eventually stick with you as long as each day you get to the point where you can fill out the list perfectly at least once. Realistically, if you are able to dedicate about 1 hour to making a new list and memorizing it every day, perhaps up to 30 words or more, and if you can dedicate 1 hour to reviewing all the previous say 10 days needed to review, you should be able to rapidly acquire a shitload of vocabulary words, with context, by using these methods. One more point - keep one long list somewhere of all the vocabulary you have learned with dates indicating when the words were added to your system. Once you have solidly planted them in your head with 10 days or more of active recall, you will need to periodically just look through this list and passively ensure that you keep activating the words even for just a moment.
Thank you for your suggestions, I will try to apply these techniques. Those seem to be great methods for learning vocabulary, again thanks a lot!!
Haha, you made my day, guy. Well, I think this works for beginners, kind of reading-writting or visual-kinesthetic learners and non-phonetic languages. Is said that each people learns of different ways. And I will have to add one thing, is learn about things that are around us. For example if somebody studies something related to business that person will have to learn vocabulary related with business and daily life. Languages have thousands of words that we have to choose some specific vocabularies and keep using in some way the words that we have learnt.
Like this approach MUCH better than the Gold List method. THANKS!!
Nice tip, thanks.
cheers!
JB
it was not bad, but not good enough. i liked the video just because of one sentence
"shame on your ancestors! " :D
seems practical and useful ,i'll give it a try!
"How many miles? Would you say, ten million?"
thank you mr pikmeir it realy helpt me at school
I like this video nice teaching
I like this method thank you
Very interesting and realistic idea to learn...... Thanks a lot Brother.....
Thank you! It worked for me not in a 100% but more than 50%. I think it's good
hahah, you are very good teacher!
wow very good idea i will try to do that
Is the person in the video Korean? He looks American but writes Korean fabulously.
It is exellent way to learn a new words.
liked the comedy..!! hwevr Good way to learn vocab..
I love it... ;)
I thought this video was a joke at first but this is actually an extremely cool study method! Gonna get those N4 kanji down
Good tips and awesome video:D
so when you're done with the first page do you move onto a different set of words or do you rewrite the words from the first page?
innovative way of training ..
Feel so scared to use a method to learn a language as I want to learn 2-3 which is Bosnian, Malay/Turkish. Hoping this method will work. Wish me luck
Thank you Skysor sensei.
I will try it !!
You had the famous Skyzors that's why you learnt, come on don't hide your little sekret!!
Thanks for the video. Jesus bless you
Or you can simply use flashcards (more especifcly, Ankidroid)
Very useful.
Haha, thank you. And yes, I was doing a sort of Master Tang voice. Kung Pow is one of my favorite movies.
Gathering the paraphernalia is the most enriching part of this exercise. Haha.
This video is hilarious, I'd just like to clarify the method:
-Make first sheet, the repeat.
-Wait 1+ hours
-Take the test from English => Other Language. Add any missed terms to the next list you make.
-Wait 1+ hours
-Take the test from the other way, Other Language => English. Add any missed terms to the next list you make.
And then you don't use the second sheet you make from the beginning right? What do you do to practice these words? Thanks!
it really works! no more shame on my ancestors😂
Anki is a much better tool for this, because it's spaced repetition for review. Plus you can remove your native language from the process by starting with nouns and adding pictures rather than native language to learn the new words. For verbs and other abstract concepts you create sentences in Anki where the verb is left blank but the rest of the words give context clues as to which verb you're looking for.
"The dog ________ down the street."
Prefer Flash Cards de Luxe - much easier to use and more flexible. Also, great advice is to never use single words on flash cards. Use in full sentences. Enhances knowledge of how words are used.
Elaine DarlingtonBrown I think that depends on the word, the word "dog" for example isn't a tough concept. I'm not keen on using any English at all on my cards, as that's my native language. So one side has a picture of a dog and the other has the word in my target language, and another card makes me spell it. It creates multiple cards for each word.
Words which are more conceptual like, "together", you absolutely need context and the best way to do that is to create a card with the full sentence visible but for the one word you want to learn.
The sentence should be built using words you already know in your target language. Because I'm generating the sentence, the card, picking my own image and picking the audio for it, card creation becomes part of the learning process.
And what's best is when you have those moments while reviewing of looking at a card and not "getting it" immediately... it's those moments when your brain is searching to find the connection that stronger connections are made.
Fluent Forever by Gabriel Wyner really has Anki and language learning locked down. His book is great but he also has tutorial videos on card creation laying out pretty much what I've clumsily tried to explain here.
Loved it! :)
Sorry, saw the comment below. Great job, Betty.
Hey, Seems to b e nice technique. Students can try.
can one tell me how l do that
amazing, master! 😎😎
scissors , that's a french word used in english , both languages use the same pronounciation.
sky-sors xD, sorry m8 but that's not how u pronounce scissors
+Jelle Donders I feel about the floor ='>
+Jelle Donders Um.... I think he is joking. :)
Mariam Utamo i don't think he's joking actually.
+Jelle Donders Yes, it's a joke (that went over your head).
Pikmeir then what's the joke?
I found this video very hilarious and entertaining.
at first, I thought that he would write down the vocabs, after that buried the paper and then drunk it, like Nobita did. But it's not happened. Anyway, thanks so much for uploading this video :)
Did you use his method?
Ty that was helpful :)
😂😂😂 LMAO, but it works weird enough... thank you
Did Christopher Lambert narrate this?
Thank you
That was a nice way to leran Sir '' skyzors'' :P
good idea :) I loved it and i'm gonna try it
please what's the name of the song ?

Try chewing some flavour gum while doing it the first time, and then chew the same flavour when doing it again. Apparently it helps? idk
This must be the most funny video i've ever seen to learn English! LOL
Is it effective?
Aww, sangyu velly mutch!
How is this better than using Anki?
The way I view it is that this method is good for learning and partially memorizing words but anki is best at actually reviewing the words
Pik Mei Rou, are you any relation to Pik Mei Noze?
from now on i'm only gonna say sky-sohrs instead of scissors😂
