How to learn new words

Perhaps sanlee.  Would you mind explaining this further?

Can we write a word if we get it completely wrong before we go on to the next word? We get to rewrite a word if we get it partially right, but if we get it wrong, there is no chance to write the word at all. Why not? There is still that space at the bottom of the word where we can write it. . I think this would really help me remember the word.

You do get to practice writing it. I think I see what your saying. But if you say in the same area. Such as "grow these". Keep doing a small set at a time. So you can get to practice writing the words and practicing them in small sections. I hope this helps.

I understand what sanlee means, when a word is 'nearly' written correctly (turns orange) you are given the opportunity to write it out again and it has to be written correctly before you can move on.... great.When you get a word completely wrong i.e. it's not nearly right, you get to look at the mems again for that word, which is great. Sanlee is suggesting that you should be able to write out the word correctly in that instance too (as well as viewing the mems).

Yes, thank you, Mimi188. I would like to be able to practice writing a word even when I get it completely wrong ( as well as view the mems). I think that would really help me to remember it. Would this be possible?

I see this and it is an excellent idea; the trouble is working out how to make it available when you want it, but not intrusive when you don't. this is a tricky balance to get right. We are working on adding in more user-level settings, and perhaps this could be something that we could allow individuals to configure.Best wishesBen

Ben, on the same matter. I really would like to see what I misspelled when I am taken to the proper spelling page. In other words, carry over my misspelled word to that page so that I can see the difference. Several of us requested that in another thread.
