<p>I just bought both volumes of direct hits and I was just wondering what was the best way to memorize the words. Read 10 words (or group of words) then go back and review? I feel like I will be able to learn 50 words, but the next day I'll remember 20 at best.</p>
<p>If you’re pressed for time, the quickest way is to go through each volume and write down the words/definitions of words you don’t know on flash cards. Study about 20-30 new words every day, but also go over the words from previous days every day.</p>
<p>I actually haven’t read all of the paragraphs under the words yet, and I might when I’m not lazy and have the time. However, I’m able to recall the definitions of all the words in DH after studying using the technique above. Although reading the descriptions and stuff can be helpful, nothing is more useful to me than constantly drilling the words until I’ve mastered them.</p>
