Turkish words is quite different English one, and Korean of course. When I memorize some English words and Chinese words, I used some relatedness to make my memorize easy. But Turkish, I cannot find any common things with Korean or English, so I just got the words and kept forgetting about it. I just learned about basic expression and number or color things it is quite confusing sometimes. So I just used media to improve my memorizing skills. In youtube there are bunch or videos teaching and repeating some basic Turkish things. Actually I think that is for baby, but still it works good on me. When I memorize English words in high school, I tried to use all of my sense organ. So I keep saying the word, write down the word, and seeing the word at the same time. And I made my own test for words and tried to answer that. If I got wrong, I just focused on the wrong one. By doing this, I could prolong my memory of the words. The best way is just to use and speak more. Although it is quite hard, I will just keep practicing. It will be helpful.
