text: what is the best way to remember english vocabulary? especially when reading a novel.?   very good question. i liked it very much.  the best way for remembering anything in education is: mindmapping. association. try to associate with anything and recall.   revise as much as possible. if possible record on cd or tape those vocabulary and use walkman or tape to listen in free time.  you can use this method for a lot of purposes.  remember: those who ask about problem learns fast.
