I am interested in finding out about the various methods
people here are using to memorise large volumes of
foreign language vocabulary. 

Personally, I use;

- Repetition   (boring and not so useful if I'm not concentrating)
- Visulisation (doesn't seem to work too well for words representing
                abstract ideas)
- Actual Use   (often hard to find native speakers to practice with)
- Rapid memorisation methods;  I wish I knew some!

I would like to hear about other peoples methods and experiences.
For example, have you found that certain study environments can
contribute positively/negatively to rate of vocab aquisition?

Thanks,
