2值得推荐的英语词汇记忆法

1.形象记忆法

形象记忆之所以一直受到追从是在于它把原先的机械记忆通过形象联想转化成了逻辑记忆，因而摆脱了死记硬背。形象记忆又分很多种，相对用得较为广泛的应该是 谐音形象记忆，就是把有些知识按照其他熟悉的同音语言去理解，使之生动，有趣。那么作为以中文为母语的学习者而言当然是汉字。用谐音记忆法通常会有意想不 到的效果。例如： ache------a+che，可以理解为“啊。。。车。。。撞到了--------痛”。

2.卡片记忆法

自己制作单词卡片，卡片写上词形、词性、词义、音标、搭配、例句等，随身携带进行单词记忆。可以按照字母顺序，每日几词的方式。

3.对比记忆法

英汉对比。如：radar(雷达)，cigar(雪茄)，beer(啤酒)，bar(酒吧), shark(鲨鱼)，fee(费)等。

同音词对比法。如：right-write，eye-I，meet-meat等。

单复数对比法。如：wood-woods，good-goods等。

同词异意对比法。如：bear, bill, scale等。
