I try to do what was mentioned above, but I get so easily bored and distracted I can’t usually focus long enough. I like to instead play games with the vocabulary or try to make up stories with them. I use Quizlet.com for my flash cards, games, and tests. I also use Anki, but only once I feel I have a good grasp on the vocabulary. Here is an example of making up a story for a Vocabulary Word (some of these are my husbands!). およぎますー”Oh Yogi (bear)” Don’t Go try and SWIM! つまんない (tomorrow night) is going to be so BORING! It’s hard to make stories for everything, but it helps a lot of you can with at least a few.

Hope this helps, I will be watching this blog because I still need all the help I can get!
