Studying Vocabulary

Just as many others, I have recently been cramming all the Porter Words we are supposed to ingest and then digest, metaphorically speaking. So, how have I been doing it?

My system of studying vocab is not very exciting. First, I create a chart where I mark the different columns with "WORD", "DEFINITION", "EXAMPLE SENTENCE and "FURTHER INFO", just as we did in SuK 1 and 2 last year. Then, I sift the vocab in the Porter book, because it is impossible for me to memorise all of the, and write them down in the first column. After sorting them alphabetically, the most tedious part begins: finding the accurate definitions and trying to remember the context a word is used in.

This is how it looks like then:

Just the good ol' method.
As we do not only have to know what the definition of the word is but also how to pronounce it, I printed out the document and marked all nouns, verbs and adjectives. This is the first important step, as we all know that there are many nouns, verbs and adjectives that are written the same but are pronounced differently. Then, I highlighted the words I either had no idea how to pronounce or was not sure and asked our reliable vocabulary.com how he would pronounce it.
