How your hobby can help you memorize more words in English
Learning can be fun - remember that. If you went to a public school or university, you probably find it boring and routine. But the key to effective learning is to understand the attitude to the process - not to get hung up on the despondency of monotonous lectures or the tongue-tied language of some textbooks and self-instruction manuals.
Remember how easily you can now name the players of your favorite football or hockey team, whose matches you never miss. Or perhaps you can list the characters of your favorite book or TV series without even thinking. Can you imagine what kind of knowledge base it is? Did you have to cram to remember all this?
You don't try to remember these things, your brain just remembers them because you like it and you will enjoy the process. You don't sit down and say to yourself, "Okay, let's see if I can remember the names of all the characters in Game of Thrones." No, you just immerse yourself in the show so deeply that you absorb the plot. The brain does not reject such training, because it builds new neural connections for an activity that brings pleasure - stimulating the production of hormones released when positive emotions are experienced.
