As far as i have seen, learning new vocabulary is one of the most difficult parts of a language. It takes time to learn new words. Anyway there are some techniques to overcome this. Below is one i've developed.
ingredients:
1 black pencil, 1 blue pen, 1 red pen, a striped notebook (preferably with 80 pages) and a good picture dictionary.
First begin reading the first picture(word) of the dictionary. And write the meaning in your language below it with a pencil. After this, note the word in your notebook. Write the word with blue pen and draw a red line below the word. Then write the meaning of the word(in your language) at right side. After doing this, skip one line and build a meaningful sentence (with black pencil) containing the word in blue. Here the thing is that, you should do all these attentively, carefully and by applying yourself to the process. Please refrain from doing quickly. Just be in the process and you'll get the best results :)
When you finish the first word, again do the same thing for the next ones. Depending on your performance, apply this for 10 new words. If your brain feels okay, repeat for another one. If not, stop immediately here. When your brain doesn't feel good, stop at once and leave it for another time. Anyway if it feels good, then go to the next phase.
In this phase, you're going to memorize the words in an easy way. Find yourself another notebook you can use in the process. First cover the right side of the line(without seeing the words' meanings) and say the word's meaning. Then do the same thing for other words.
After finishing it, do the vice versa of the same thing(cover the main words with notebook and say the source word of the written meaning). Then do this for all words (if your brain feels fine). And don't forget to animate the picture of the word in your mind, as this will help you a considerable amount.
By doing the same thing for 2-3 days for the same words, you will learn and memorize the words. And most of all, the result will be permanent. You'll be satisfied with the process.
I discovered this by trial and error and it works perfectly. If you're interested in learning new vocabulary, i'd recommend it.
