Record. Any word you want to remember must be written by hand. This activates the motor memory, and when you display the letters, you involuntarily remember the word. It is necessary to write down not on scattered leaves, but in a notebook-dictionary. And it should be written in this way: the word itself with the meaning, underneath in the column are several phrases using the word and their translation. By writing it this way, you will immediately know how the word is applied in practice. Despite the large time costs, your efforts will pay off. You will simply be surprised when at the right moment the phrase flies from your tongue. As you learn the language, start using only a monolingual dictionary. That is, the meaning of the word is written in the same language.

In Russian, it sounds something like "phillings." Words similar in sound: eagle owl, filler, peeling and so on. Which word is closer to you, and associate it.

It is very important to constantly be in the midst of the language, that is, listen and talk in a foreign language.
