Today you will discover 10 incredibly effective techniques to memorize vocabulary in a new language.
What you need to know first is that many language learners either have never heard of these techniques or they simply don’t know how to use them.
In the first half of the video I’ll discuss about what is word networking and how you can develop that by using a holistic approach through listening, reading, and selection.
This will enable you to quickly understand basic spoken language and identify the words that you need in everyday life.
In the second half, I’ll tell you how you can use the association-deconstruction-dynamic repetition formula to build-up a broad range of vocabulary into your long-term memory.
In the end I’ll touch upon the untapped benefits of note taking and how you can use that to memorize vocabulary quickly and efficiently.

Лука, как твой русский? Прошло уже 10 лет от твоего визита в Россию к Дине Копцевой. Да, я был на той конференции! И то, как ты произнес "пельмени" у нее на видео дома, это было божественно! Красивейшие русские звуки! )) @LucaLampariello P.S. Дина сейчас в Аргентине...
it's really the problem that i've been trying to solve since I really started to learn english one year ago
1. Create a spider web of associations.
2. Listen while reading
3. Select words that are relevant and interesting for you. Don't just learn everything. Focus on learning 1/3 (or 80/20)
4. Association
5. Deconstruction
6. Dynamic repetition
7. Note taking
Awesome. Reinforcing though I listened. Thank you.
Thank you for summarising
I like that you said 80-20 that is universal. Pareto !
Thanks
Thank you.
1. Word networking 0:17
2. Listen while reading 1:18
3. Selection 2:05
4. Association 2:56
5. Deconstruction 3:51

7. Note taking 5:43
thanks
This is the first actually helpful video regarding vocab learning I found. Most videos just say "use flashcards" 😰
Y'all also check out Lindie Botes. She's also has good content on language learning.
And how to memorise vocabulary too
Yeah flash cards are really helpful, even more helpful if you’re using Anki.
Isn't it?
This video is a rare gem and is already saved here, fantastic.
It amazes me how well he speaks English, and I mean in terms of his accent. Like, you can't hear his native language at all! Usually you can tell if someone is Italian or Russian or whatever by the way the speak their English. But Luca speaks American English perfectly! Crazy man
Thanks! =)
@@LucaLampariello No problem 😇
I cant really talk because I've only one language so wel done, its fantastic but I hear that he has another language. I heard it as soon as he introduced himself. Some words are a dead giveaway, like saying his name . But there's nothing wrong or bad or incomplete about that
I can hear that this not american english and I also notice that it is not his mother tongue
I agree. I've seen a few of his videos over the months and assumed he was American until I read this comment..🤣
As an English teacher it is super hard for me to motivate students to learn vocabulary. Because it is the boring and "worky" part of learning a language. Currently studying some techniques to make it "fun". Thanks for the tips!
I'll do the same :)
The only fun way would be if everyone would add proper subtitles in all Germanic / Celtic / Latin languages to all the videos on yt and if those teaching languages would create very entertaining videos with a lot of variations, and keep including each word in multiple videos, so that one doesn’t have to rewatch the same video again, because that is the truly boring / annoying part, when I must re-watch the same vocab video multiple times to get the words to become part of my permanent memory, plus it takes more exposure to many of the words for them to become part of one’s automatic memory! The problem with most videos is that they only include and use regular terms that I already know, even videos that aren’t about language learning, so that makes it impossible to learn new / rare / truly advanced words in a truly fun way such as passive learning, which is how I learned Spanish in childhood, by just watching a lot of TV series and movies and listening to a lot of lyrics in Spanish for fun, and I am now native speaker level in Spanish as a result of my watching and listening to them for fun! But know it’s different now tho, because now I want to learn languages on my own and I want to learn them as fast as possible, and it would be possible to do so if they all kept including really advanced terms in all the videos on a regular bases, so that I keep getting exposed to those new terms, and it’s a lot easier if the words are used in context with pics or short clips that are shown or played along with the words, so that one understands the action associated with a verb or another word etc!
Besides, they should all speak slowly, so that I can have enough time to read the sub in Dutch or in German or another language and to process the information and understand the action etc, without having to replay the scene over and over or pause the video, which is also very annoying when one tries learning a new language! Speaking fast is just wrong, even in general! And everyone should always speak slowly and properly enunciate each syllable, so that others can easily understand and have time to process the information, otherwise it won’t be fun to listen to someone that speaks fast and skips half the words, which results in total gibberish that no one can understand, and no one wants to have to try and decipher what someone is trying to say, anyway!
Honestly, it should have been a yt requirement for each video to be upped with subs in all the pretty languages that exist, the pretty languages including all Germanic languages and all Celtic languages and all Latin languages (Galician / French / Gallo / Portuguese / Catalan / Spanish / Occitan / Latin / Esperanto / Italian and the Italian-based dialects) and Hungarian and maybe a few others - to think how many videos and movies I watched that I could have watched with subs in the languages I want to learn, and now I would have been fluent in many (if not most) of them, so it just feels like a total waist of time!
I remember my English teacher in 2019 asking the class what we did to memorize new words haha
How can students know? We hope that our teachers give us these tips.
What works for me is associating a new word to a word or a sound in an another language.
For example:
The Hebrew word for "snake" is "nahash". For me it sounds like a snake is angry: "hushhhhhhh". It may not be true, but I remembered it right away.
Another example: "soup" is "marak", sounds like Morroco, so everytime I think about how to say soup, I think of Morroco.
Ms Keisha 😂😂 nice
is it called a mnemonic technique ? XD I suppoese that's the very efficient way to memorize
Yes! Good examples. You're doing what is called mnemonics. Making an association with the word you can remember. כל כבוד
@@oliviastuck7756 czcams.com/video/QjdgdKkHeO8/video.html
In german, there is a special word for that, called "Eselsbrücke" ("donkey bridge"). It's the best for words and things hard to remember. It also works very well with learning ideographs like Japanese or Korean.
I think it's important to note that Luca's video quality and editing has tremendously improved over the years. Awesome video and thanx for the valuable information.
Thanks
And he's getting sexier
@@fel2fram and bigger))
I completely agree... But i think if they make the tips pop up written on the screen it will be even better
@@PierLu_77 czcams.com/video/QjdgdKkHeO8/video.html
I'm German and didn't hear "Freundschaftsbezeigung" ever 😅😂 I understand the word, but... where is it used? 😅
Agreed, it is not a very common word =) I wanted to use this one actually: Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften but I thought better. I looked up some notoriously long German words here: theweek.com/articles/463500/8-favorite-ridiculously-long-german-words
@@LucaLampariello yes, that word I know! 😂 ridiculous words are very common 😂
Ach bin ock dotch und heb det net gehüt
What Luca means is Freundschaftsbezeugung. That's why you haven't heard it. (I'm native German too.)
Great video, thank you, Luca!
@@jensburghardt4100 im Blog benutzt er für dieselbe Englische Übersetzung ein anderes Wort als im Video. ABER ich hab mal ein bisschen gegooglet und festgestellt, dass beide Wörter, die er verwendet, in unserer wunderschönen Sprache existieren 😂
I’m so happy to have found your channel as I’m struggling with French. Thank you for all your tips. All are useful! 🙂
🤯 Every language is a WORD wide web!
Wow, Luca, your videos are getting very professional! Thank you for all the advice and encouragement over the years.
This is fantastic. As an ESL tutor, I've been using most of these techniques instinctively, but I'm so glad I'm on the right track. English is not my mother tongue, so I had to learn most of it on my own and unknowingly I've used these techniques to learn. Recently I've been playing with homophones and homographs with my student and it's been an amazing learning experience for her. Thank you for helping me putting into words what I instinctively knew.
I must say, your way of speaking English is even more better and beautifully pronounced than some of the native speakers I know, and can be understood without substitles, at least I can.
Very interesting content, I use your videos as for listening practice and write down some of the phrases from your speech which I find different.
Thank you for making this fantastic video! I really enjoyed it😁. I'm going to try and use your techniques to improve my English. And in April I'm going to start learning Italian so it will be interesting to see how it works with a language I don't know at all.
Must say, you have a great talent👏 Not only you speak many languages but also you can explain everything in a simple way. Wish I found this channel sooner.
WoW ..!!!! Luca, I love the new format of the videos... More quality video & audio, and very interesting content as always.
Wow! I absolutely love this new video series. Great information from the most impressive polyglot out there!
This is fantastic, thank you. My Latin teacher in high school used some of these same techniques, although I didn't realize it at the time, and after two years of classes, I scored in the top 5 percentile on the Latin SATs. Yet my few subsequent attempts to learn another language failed miserably, mainly, I now think, because they were so focused on trying to learn one word at a time. I am currently planning to moving to Southeast Asia after the pandemic, and have been worried because I couldn't retain words at all. Now I have these techniques that immediately made sense to me and resonate with the way I think and learn other new information. So thanks again, and keep up the great work!
Great advice. Pretty much all of this is covered in LingQ which I use on a daily basis. I feel like my progress is coming on leaps and bounds so it’s reassuring to know it’s the same principles :)
Great advice thanks...I'm 54 and am just starting to learn Russian...I started 2 weeks ago and have so far learned the Cyrillic script and know about 100 words....Some words I just need to read a few times and they commit to memory, whilst other words I find extremely difficult to memorize no matter how many times I read, write or say them...Your technique sounds great in theory, so I'll practice it for sure.
Luca, éste es uno de los mejores videos que he visto por tu claridad al explicar. Voy a aplicar cada una de las estrategias!
Estoy estudiando Ruso y Japonés, y recientemente, Finés.
Saludos!!!!
one of the most amazing videos about learning languages i've even seen.. pfct.. greetings from Brazil.
Luca, I admire you very much! I have recently embarked on learning my fourth language inspired by you and your passion. Grazie di cuore per tutto ciò che fai. Un abbraccio!!
that last tip, wow just wow its prob the best one, note taking while remembering place and time, thats GENIUS!!!
I can't stop watching your overwhelming videos!!! You're our Italian Pride 💚🤍❤
These tips are game changing when it comes to studying languages!
I’ve watched many videos concerning this problem but yours was new and effective thank you🌸🌸
That was one of the most clear and precise videos on this topic, I have seen so far. Just one small remark. It is FreundschaftsbezeUgung (related to Zeuge, Zeugnis etc.)
Marvelous video. Very inspirational in its clarity and practicality. Thanks so much, Luca!
Very engaging and edifying yet understandable and enjoyable, just subscribed after only watching this video on your channel. Your assistance in tackling the problem of vocabulary retention is invaluable, only need to implement these techniques into my daily routine. A big thank you to you 😀
I really appreciate your content! Can't wait to try it! it does make sense to me to incorporate those informations in my routine, but I still have to try as I said. I'm excited to see if really does help me! Now I know how to talk fluently already 3 langueges and currently studying Turkish so I'm glad to have found you to help me in this journey! 😚😄 Um abraço! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Great tips for expanding my vocabulary. Thank you so much, Luca!
Dear Luca! Your video lessons are great. They are useful, easy to understand. Thank you very much.
Luca: FanTASTically useful. Thank you! I am going to make all my students watch this and take notes, holding their faces to the screen, if necessary.
Grazie mille!
Your video is extremely useful. I've been frustrated with learning new vocabulary for a while now :) Thank you very much!
Insanely useful tips for learning new vocabulary items! Thank you Luca for sharing such good tips with us! Cheers~~ XX
Thank you for your presentation in writing. Watching the video and reading the same material is a great way to reinforce the material. Video is fast. Reading is much like ruminating which takes time to process and is therefore digested. For example, I think of walking and driving down a road. If I drive, I get from point A to B. If I walk, I see the roses, people, and I can interact with the environment. CZcams has millions of videos. To read them would take multiple lifetimes. Video is great to peruse. Reading repeatedly is necessary to really learn something. Thank you for your video.
i didn't read as i was listening , but i always looked up in the dictionary the phonetics of any new word i came across and of course it's meaning or meanings, this helped me a lot in my memorization of words and their use in the context
thank you so much Luca, your lessons are very clear and easy to understand
Right on point and precise. Thank you!!
As always this is other masterpiece for language enthusiasts. Thank you Luca for these powerful tips.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks for the lovely words man =)
Thank you. The example with the castle was really great! 🧚♀️
This is pure gold, as you said, is an excellent and simple method 👌
I like so much your advices!! Thank you Luca
Luca: I found your advise extremely helpful. I speak three languages but my last challenge has been becoming a court interpreter. I never had any legal background but had thirty six years of medical background. This is my biggest challenge. I considered it as learning to speak another language because it’s completely “foreign” to me. I have used several of the techniques you mentioned to form the spider web, but I’m encouraged by the new ones you mentioned here. I’ll start applying your advise ASAP :). I’ll let you know my progress in a couple of weeks....
It’s been six months...
@@daniyal-syed People tend to make promises when they are excited about anything new that they are seemingly learning. So as it turns out that time flies and they don't even know what they have randomly said in the comment box from youtube. You should not expect here she will come back here and say, Hey this definitely worked for me.
Hello Luca, thanks so much for this very inspiring and useful video! Those 7 techniques are very powerful tools, I totally agree. Wenn es darum geht neue Vokabeln zu lernen, wende ich auch die erste Technik an. Non vedo l'ora di vedere i tuoi prossimi video, hai il dono di toccare il cuore delle persone con il tuo modo di trasmettere la passione per le lingue. Du bist mein Vorbild :) Have a great day!
Grazie mille per il bel commento butterfly4 ;-)
😇 I've been trying to figure out what to do about these english vocabularies ..... I've listened to a lot of people’s advises but yours is more practical and easy to Follow... A lots of thanks....the funny thing is the first 2-3 points.... I figured them out myself.... Never knew these tactics exist in real life
Good video Luca ... I`m learning my english and usually when i enter the video, the persons speak a very fast english .. I cant understand nothing ... But i can understand you, because you speak clearly and not so fast...
Thanks a lot for that !!
Saludos desde Peru .. !!
I got really impressed by the way you teach the language
Polyglott here, yes, relating words in context helps; i'm surprised you didn't mention cognates. Nice video, gonna read your notes. TY
So succinct, wise, and clear. Thanks for making this video!
im a tutor and also a language learner. so helpful. thank you!!
3:56 I am a German, yet got scared of the word - didn't know it before xD
We'll never stop learning ;)
Really? I find that fascinating. I barely speak a lick of German (I've dabbled), but the length of "scary" German words has never seemed an imposing obstacle to me. To take a phrase that was used in this video - dynamic repetition - if instead of two words that were just one word in English - dynamicrepetition - I can't even begin to see how it's any scarier.
Or maybe I'm just an odd duck. In high school I remember being taught what the supposed longest word in English was - antidisestablishmentarianism - and the reaction from the other kids (this is in Australia, so all native English speakers) was along the lines of oh wow, what a monster, God help us. My feeling was more like okay, there's a lot of syllables there, but that doesn't imply that the meaning of the word is necessarily going to be impossibly difficult to understand. (This word requires some historical and political background knowledge to properly grasp, so I don't think many of us, me included, really understood the definition of it the teacher gave us, but I was able to come away with a basic understanding that the distestablishmentarianists opposed the church and so 'antidisestablishmentarianism' was simply the 'philosophy' (if it even amounts to that) of the people who, in turn, opposed them.)
U are so great because u make me how to learn a new word and u talk so easily to understand. I love your videos
Of all the videos giving tips this may be the only one I found really useful THANK YOU!!!- and applies for every language, but for me, learning Russian and really struggling to memorise the basic words I would add two more tips, one , keep a sheet of paper in your back pocket with your latest phrases on, then you can pull it out anytime you are waiting for a bus or anything. Not your phone or you will get distracted!!! These little moments have proven so useful as I now see a phrase several times a day not just once. Secondly, drawing a picture with the phrase, even if terribly drawn, seems to put it into a totally different part of my brain. Easier for nouns than adverbs, but it doesn't seem to matter.
Agree, particularly about drawing the meaning of a word. The strategy of using four squares is great.
same
Ну как дела с русским?😃
Apply dual coding theory
This is soo good! Go ahead Luca!
These ideas resonate with my experience. Thank you.
Septilinguist and totally agree. My favourite of these is deconstruction. My bf and I both have French as our second language, and we read together for practice. He can rarely guess th meanings of words, but I am good with patterns so I intuitively recognize the roots in words. In Japanese, my 5th language, many people hate the Chinese symbols used to write words. I love them. If you know a lot of them, you can recognize words you’ve never heard before, even when they aren’t written.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
The aim of the memorization is to be able to understand a text when you're in situation. For example, I'm French and unfortunately for me, I left English out even though I had a pretty good level, nay I was probably able to speak fluently with any English natives or English teachers. Therefore, I'm catching my level again in order to be able to speak fluently again. Just big thank you for Luca for all your device ! You're good man.
Thank you very much. I used several techniques but you give me others which will help me better. I like your enthousiasm. After my burn-out (I was a manager), it's difficult to memorize. 🙏
I've found all of your advices and suggestions highly logical and applicable for every language. Thank you, Luka.
Some skeptical comments just below I've found inappropriate and even humiliating. Continuing Luka's habit to quote, I'd like to respond to all skeptics here on behalf de Luka:
"Fecit quod potui, faciant meliora potentes."
Gratias, Luka!
Very valuable information, thanks!
I also have another tip
It is relevant to your method of learning relevant words.
Something I do that really helps is to start speaking in that language about whatever topic that would interest me in the languages I speak confidently.
A lot of times I catch myself not knowing the word or grammar for sth that interests me, so I look it up, take notes and then make sentences related to the topic I was talking about.
Learning a language through learning to talk about your interests really helps you advance.
Because usually people aren't interested in learning words like "faucet" unless they're a plumber or just happen to need it. If you like talking about poetry trying to learn words that aid you talk about it in your target language will help you learn it better.
Also I prefer doing this with speaking cuz I like listening to the words and the context I learned them in but it could also be done with writing
Although you do need to start with basic vocab before learning more about what interests you
I usually do the same! And it really helps me remember the words better.
@@aliceduanra7539 I never said you didn't. I just gave an extra tip
@@paradojan7322 awesome!
Thanks sweetie! I'll keep in mind this tip. :'3
this is insane, linking and associating words to another! This is really helpful and at my age (13) I can really use this on and on while studying. Thx :D
Thanks Luca for the tips. Very useful. God bless you
Enhorabuena por el vídeo todo en sí. Edición y contenido fantástico.

So Great, Luca, very effective techniques to learn foreign language.
Best tips I have got so far from İnternet thank you so much.
best techniques I've heard! thanks
Muchas gracias por los consejos Luca.
Felicitaciones por tu trabajo; me gustó la edición y calidad del vídeo.
Muchas gracias Jahaira =)
GREAT tips! Thank you so much
Excellent job, dear. You nailed it, except that my experience is to learn every new word you come across it because you will need it someday
Amazing instructions.. thank you so much
I do exactly the same when it comes to German.
I always break down this long words into their constituent parts.
I even understand these words not as single long words but rather separate words sticking together.
Sometimes I even forget about whether these words should stick together or not.
é vero ed anche ben trovato. I really appreciate your efforts to keep us totally awake. Hello form France Luca.
Perfetto!
Grazie per tutti i suggerimenti, ci sono preziosissimi per noi!
Grazie per le belle parole e per l'incoraggiamento caro Gino =)
