Here are some tips on how to learn Russian vocabulary with AWESOME RUSSIAN Dictionaries in Pictures!
1. Use Pictures. Make Connections.Looking at pictures is the most natural way to learn Russian vocabulary. People think and dream in pictures. In our minds, we usually see people, animals, and things, not just words. For example, when you hear the word “orange” you can imagine its taste, smell and color. It’s the same way as babies learn their native language. Each AWESOME RUSSIAN Dictionary is thematically arranged, so it will help your brain to make connections between words easily.
2. Don’t forget about context.
Having ready-made thematic groups of words, you can easily create life stories. For example, you can speak about your family and friends, tell about your personal things, describe your appearance, and write about your daily routine and hobbies.
3. Build your personal vocabulary.
Create your own personal vocabulary to memorize better new words. This can be a notebook, app, or flashcard where you will write the words. You can write a translation next to each word, as well as draw a picture.
4. Don’t forget about examples.
Write a short sentence with a new word or its explanation in Russian. If you find it difficult to come up with an example on your own, ask, for the help of your teacher or language partner. By the way, there are texts and dialogues with useful words in Russian language textbooks. Don’t forget to add them to your personal vocabulary.
