I first published the following video in 2014, but as the first tip in the video is "you need a method" (the same tip that I gave in yesterday's lesson), I thought it would be a good time to repost it.
These are still my top ten study tips, four years after I recorded them:

And here's an audio recording in case you can't see the video:

Bahman,
If you want to see all of my 'methods' explained step by step, watch the videos that I've published on the website below:

Zahra,
You need to see the new word in the context of a correct sentence. So, it's best to learn words that you have read somewhere (e.g. in a reading passage, a newspaper article or in one of my lessons). Don't learn words from a list or by trying to translate from your language using a dictionary. Word lists and individual word translations don't give you the correct "context" that you need.

Thank you, Simon. The last tip was the most important one.
