How to learn vocabulary & memory tricks, with Susie Dent & US Memory Champion Chester Santos

Last episode our guests recommended vocabulary as the first thing to concentrate on when you start your language learning, and in this episode we do just that. Re-joining Alex is the UK’s most renowned lexicographer Susie Dent, who talks about why vocab is so important and how best to pick up more of it. We also have U.S. Memory Champion Chester Santos, who provides us with some principals on improving our memory and how to apply it to learning new words. You can also join Alex and Susie in a fun, immersive exercise where they try to memorise 15 random words in a row! Good luck!
