Tip: learning new words

Do you find it difficult to learn new words in English?  A good way for memorizing new vocabulary is choosing one word a day and trying to use it during the day.  If it's not possible using it in a conversation you may try to think about sentences including it or even writing some sentences down in the most contextualized way you can.  This tip is particularly nice for those words our brain insists on forgetting.  Try it!
