Learning vocabulary with your eyes

Vocabulary is always difficult for students to study. People often feel that this involves looking at long lists of words. However, there are many ways that you can study vocabulary. Have you ever considered learning words from pictures?

The Merriam Webster Visual Dictionary is a great resource for students. It allows you to study different categories and find pictures that can help you study vocabulary.

For example, if you click you way through this pathway; HOME :: COMMUNICATIONS :: COMMUNICATIONS :: COMMUNICATION BY TELEPHONE :: PORTABLE CELLULAR TELEPHONE, you will come to a picture of a mobile phone. In the picture you can read the labels of different parts of the mobile phone. Below the picture, you can read the the meanings of the words and you can click on the speaker icon to hear the pronunciation.

Many people believe that learning form pictures will help you remember things better.
