I tried the 'Word Association' strategy today. I picked 5 new words and associated each with a personal experience or image. For example, 'Persevere' reminded me of running a marathon - I visualized myself pushing through exhaustion.
It worked great! I remembered the words easily and even used one in a conversation. New words I learned: Persevere, Ephemeral, Ennui, Fastidious, and Mellifluous.
This strategy is cool because it makes words more relatable and memorable. Will definitely use it again!"
