Página Text: Method 1: Keep a notebook
Página Text: Method 2: Make mindmaps
Página Mindmap: Example 1 (Fruit)

This example shows how you can use mindmaps to focus on types of things, in this case: fruit. You can also add extra information that doesn't quite fit in boxes around the mindmap. This is particularly useful when there are words from a certain word class that you want to highlight, such as adjectives or verbs.

Página Mindmap: Example 2 (Water)

Mindmaps can be useful when thinking about a broad topic and trying to cut it down into different sections. This example shows how you can write down vocabulary for a variety of topics concerning water, such as how we use water, but also the dangers of water. Let your imagination go wild to truly test your vocabulary knowledge!

Página Mindmap: Example 3 (Feelings)

Mindmaps don't always have to be big and elaborate. You can also keep it short and simple if, for example, you are focusing on collecting synonyms of certain words. This example shows how you can focus on just the words "happy" and "sad" and a variety of words that mean the same. You could, of course, add further emotions and feelings, such as anger or fear.
