Default Re: difficult to learn vocabulary

How many are you trying to learn? Don't try to learn huge lists of words- it's very difficult for most people. Try to learn a few words and then practise using them. If you don't use a word, it's easy to forget it. Recycle the words over a period of days and that way they'll sink into long term memory. When you try to learn a lot of words in a short period of time, they tend to go into short term memory, so they are quickly forgotten.

Talking Re: difficult to learn vocabulary

yaibagao, I know what you mean . I`m attempting to learn German, and have found that it`s easier to concentrate on phrases & sentences rather than trying to memorize lots of separate words. You can then resort to your dictionary to "fill in the gap(s)" if you don`t know or can`t remember the meaning of a certain word (or words) within a sentence.
