The strategy I chose: I chose the "Word Association" strategy. This means I connect a new word to words I already know.
How I used it: I learned the word "Enormous." I connected it to the word "Big." * New word: Enormous
Similar word: Big, Huge
Example: An elephant is enormous.
Did it work for me? Yes, it worked very well. It is easy to remember the new word because I already know what "big" means. It makes my English feel more natural.
What new words did I learn? I learned "Enormous" (very big) and "Tiny" (very small).
