I’m learning Spanish, but vocabulary keeps slipping away after a few days. I’ve tried flashcards and apps, but I can’t seem to make the words stick. Has anyone used a mind palace for language learning?

I feel like my brain just dumps new words overnight. I need a method that makes the language more memorable and maybe even fun to recall.

At first, I didn’t believe it could work for languages. But using a mind palace https://memoryos.com/article/sherlocks-mind-palace completely changed that. I mapped my apartment in my head and placed each Spanish word in a specific spot with a funny image. “Perro” is on my couch wagging its tail, “puerta” is painted bright red in my hallway. Those silly visuals make recall automatic during conversations.

Memory techniques sound interesting but do they help with actual conversation or just vocabulary recall? I struggle more with putting sentences together quickly when speaking

Vocabulary helps but speaking fluently needs practice with real conversations not just memorizing words. Knowing a thousand words doesn't mean you can use them naturally in sentences. The problem most learners face is they study alone and never practice speaking out loud. Reading and listening are easier because you have time to think but speaking requires quick responses. Apps like promova english focus on conversation practice which builds fluency faster than memory tricks. You need to actually speak regularly not just remember word lists
