i got Buzan's book use your perfect memory. i've been trying out a couple of the beginner techniques for the past couple of days, things like memorizing things in numerical order...........it works alot better than my normal memory. hopefully the success I'm seeing now will continue to increase and carry over to vocab improvement. thanks for the good book suggestion. i've already used several words today that I've never used before, it kinda stunned me when I did too.

The thing is, I understand many more words than I can skillfully use in my normal speech. the trick is just to unlock the mental boundaries there.

i'm trying hard and can i say that this site has been a great aid for me in learning PR.
