Hi There. I’m blog hopping….

I just ran across your post, and although it’s outdated, I thought I’d drop a comment about your forgetting words. I don’t forget words when I learn them, because I have a method. I thought I’d share.

Whenever I learn a new word in a Chinese story, newspaper, or on a website or whatever, in that I can guess what it is while reading it, then look it up and find I’m right, I generally copy that down into a word processor file, then use that file later to print flash cards.

Eventually I use my computer to print these onto flashcards and also have a vocabulary list. I do three things with them at that point:
1. Looking at the back of the flashcard, write the expression once, if I fail to, put it at the back of the deck and try it again.
2. Later in the day, go through the characters on the flashcards
3. Finally, make random sentences with the new word in them

Repeat the process 3 days later, then 1 week after that, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 8 months, 1 year.
Psychologists say that reviewing the words in these increasingly expanding intervals is what’s necessary to remember the words. I might not see “时光” for another 5 months, but I’d prefer not to forget it anyway. If you do learn a new but infrequent word and not review it, you’re likely to forget it because you aren’t re-encountering that word frequently enough.

This method is complicated, but it’s been found by psychologists to be most effective.

Pretty sluty girls, really.That`s a shame to have the same nationality with them.I hope they aren`t chinese.
