    Market = a place gor buying and selling things. It could be food, clothes...etc Bone = a solid thing humans and animals have under the skin. It keeps the structure of our body straight Afraid = scared Share = not keep to myself, give to others Snow = when temperature goes down, it comes from the sky and it's white Farm = where some animals grow and eat, usually sourrounded by fenses. Usually for the purpose of eating Mountain = higher lands where it is usually pointy at the top. Gold = an expensive yellowish material that used to be used as money. It is still used to preserve the money value. Coat = a clothe we put on to protect us from rain Heavy = not light

    The best way to remember words is context. I ❤dictionaries with added contexts in the definition of each word. When you don’t remember a word, go around it with context as Christian mentions. I do it often even in my native tongue. Don’t be ashamed of not knowing or remembering, it happens to all of us even native speakers.

My turn around word would be something like this: Market - that place to buy and sell things Bone - the structure of you body… like… your teeth is a(…) Afraid - insecure, with fear Snow - that white flake Farm - big green place with animals Mountain - big huge rock Gold - yellow metal rich people can afford Coat - jacket for cold days Heavy - hard to lift

    Great advice for everyone! Even as native speakers my family and I often find ourselves unable to find the 'right word'. Rather than using brain cells to stare at the ceiling and say 'um', I try to immediately circle around the unknown word on known paths. I may not know a person's name, but I might well remember where I know them from, what they do for a living, hair color, etc. Even if a particular word seems necessary to communicate what's on your mind, it often isn't.
