Advice for EFL learners

1. HOW TO ORGANISE YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN LEARNING ENGLISH
1. Keeping a notebook to write down new words is a good idea.
However, you should revise the words you've written every now
and then.
2. Classify the vocabulary into groups according to type of word,
meaning, level of difficulty, etc.

cow moo calf
pig oink / grunt piglet

3. Diagrams can be a useful tool if visually organising words helps you.

4. Writing down expressions, not just words, as you encounter them, will help you associate
them in the future. Some words tend to collocate.
