Although there are lots of competing ideas for how the brain processes language, it seems apparent that language processing is a complex neurological process that involves many different parts of the brain. As a result, it would be helpful to the language learner to make many different associations when learning vocabulary in order to make neurological connections stronger. This can be done by varying forms of learning (listening, speaking, and reading) as well as frequent quizzing.  Also, we tend to learn and understand words based on the context of the sentences around them. When learning vocabulary, it helps to also practice sentences with the words, because this helps the language learner understand how the word functions in a sentence.
