Vocabulary flashcards and videos

http://www.vocabahead.com/

This site is great for vocabulary learning! It has been particularly designed for American High school students preparing to take the College Board SAT, an aptitude test.  However, it’ll be of great help for those intermediate to advanced students learning English as a second/foreign language.

It is an interactive tool which allows you to interact with the words you want to learn. It offers hundreds of videos and flash cards, which include audio, to help you learn vocabulary using all your senses. Doing so, you’ll quickly realise how easy and fun learning vocabulary can be.

Some practical advice:

> You need to be able to hear the word and how it is pronounced.

> You need to be able to say the word, maybe repeating it or using it in context.

> Seeing the word in its written form is always helpful.

> An activity that encourages you to write would be excellent for both, improving your writing skills and learning and retrieving (remembering) new vocabulary.
