If you're studying English, do any of the following concerns sound familiar?
- You forget words shortly after learning them
- It's difficult to grasp not only the meaning but also the nuance
- Learning feels dull and it's hard to keep going
In such cases, the Chrome extension Cambridge Picture Dictionary can be helpful. A visual learning approach does more than improve the ability to remember English vocabulary effectively — it also makes studying more enjoyable.
Why is visual learning effective?
Visual learning is widely regarded as highly effective in the field of language acquisition. Instead of memorizing words separately from their meanings, remembering a word together with the sensation it conveys or concrete examples helps it remain in long-term memory. The Cambridge Picture Dictionary combines images with words to achieve this efficiently.
- Recreates everyday scenarios realistically: You can visually understand not only the meaning of a word but also how it is actually used
- Improves retention: Visual information reinforces memory, greatly increasing the efficiency of spaced repetition
- Intuitive interface: Beginners can start using it immediately
