las carpetas<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nIn this section we\u2019ll learn some new vocabulary. Assuming you\u2019re working with this course in the context of a Spanish class, many of these vocabulary words will be right in front of you: they\u2019re the common objects in a classroom or office. We\u2019ll also be learning the numbers from 0 through 30.\n\nFirst, a quick word about learning vocabulary in a foreign language. There are lots of tips and tricks out there, and the most important thing is to find the strategy that works for you. A few things to consider:\n

    \n \t
  • Since Spanish nouns, as we\u2019ll see, have masculine or feminine gender, it\u2019s important to remember the word and its article, rather than just the word itself:\u00a0La mochila<\/em> (the backpack) rather than just mochila<\/em>. If you like to use paper flashcards, it can be helpful to use different colored paper for masculine and feminine nouns. That way even if you can\u2019t remember the article, you might associate the word with the corresponding color.<\/li>\n \t
  • There are lots of apps and websites out there to help you learn vocabulary. Quizlet, StudyBlue, Flashcards+, Brainscape, and Anki are some of the most popular flashcard services.<\/li>\n \t
  • It\u2019s more effective to learn words in context than in isolation. Rather than trying to cram lists of random words into your memory, try to remember the words in the context of sentences or phrases. Is there a song featuring the word you\u2019re trying to remember? (For instance, it turns out that there are a lot of songs about \u201cla mochila\u201d on YouTube. Many of which you\u2019ll never<\/em> get out of your head. You\u2019ve been warned.)<\/li>\n \t
  • However you decide to memorize new words, the main thing is to set aside time regularly to work on memorization. Frequent, short sessions are better than one long session before the test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHere are some more techniques for learning new vocabulary:\n\n
