I'm thinking how to make myself memorise new vocabulary sooner, faster and not forget them easily. 

I already knew that i have to know the usage of the new words otherwise i cant remember at all, and even i remember i still don't know how to use them or when to use them. recently i heard a method recommended by the podcast, which is keep relating vocabulary in the same category when you are learning. actually i found it's easier said than done, because sometime they are just scatter in you mind and not easy to categorise them. Anyway, I still have to try!
