The Matic Vietnamese & English Vocabulary 2

Learning a new language involves mastering a wide range of vocabulary. However, simply memorizing words isn’t enough. It’s essential to understand how these words are used in real-world contexts and to retain them long-term. That’s where “Thematic Vietnamese & English Vocabulary” comes in.

This two-volume series includes 30 carefully selected topics, each designed to be highly relevant and useful in everyday situations. From “Travel and Transportation” to “Technology” and “Working Environment”, the topics covered are directly applicable to practical life. Each topic is meticulously crafted to help learners understand how vocabulary is used, ensuring that every word you learn is not only remembered but also effectively applied.

Engaging Mind-Map Format for Better Retention

VLS's "Thematic Vietnamese & English Vocabulary" One of the key features of “Thematic Vietnamese & English Vocabulary” is the mind map format used to present the vocabulary. This method is scientifically proven to enhance memorization and recall by utilizing the brain’s natural ability to process and retain images and associations. Instead of the traditional linear format, where words are simply listed one after another, the mind-map format organizes vocabulary in a visually appealing and structured way. This layout helps learners recognize connections between words and concepts, making it easier to retain and retrieve information when needed.

Whether you’re learning new words in Vietnamese or English, the mind-map format allows you to see how vocabulary fits into a larger context, making the learning process more interactive and enjoyable. By visually connecting words to themes and categories, the process of memorization becomes more dynamic, helping you to remember words long-term instead of just for the short term.

Why VLS Chose the Mind-Map Method for This Book Series

Mind map Vietnamese & English Vocabulary

The Mind Map method is a powerful technique that harnesses the brain’s natural ability to remember images, making it one of the most effective ways to learn and retain information. Developed by Tony Buzan in the late 1960s, this method allows learners to organize, analyze, and summarize information through interconnected branches, capturing the essence of lessons with keywords and images.

The reason VLS has chosen to incorporate this method into “Thematic Vietnamese & English Vocabulary” is simple: mind mapping significantly boosts memory retention and learning efficiency. Unlike traditional note-taking, which can become linear and monotonous, mind maps transform long, dry lists of information into vibrant, interconnected diagrams. This not only makes the learning process more engaging but also allows learners to visualize relationships between concepts, fostering deeper understanding and quicker recall.

For language learners, mind maps are especially powerful. By visually grouping related vocabulary together, you can easily see the connections between words, their meanings, and their applications. This systematic approach to learning allows you to retain new vocabulary more effectively while also making it easier to recall when needed in conversations or writing. Plus, it encourages active learning, as you are not just memorizing isolated words, but understanding how they fit into the broader context of the language.

Using mind maps for language study, as we’ve done in this series, will help you to:

• Memorize vocabulary faster and more effectively

• Connect words with real-life situations and other concepts

• Understand word meanings and applications in a visual, intuitive way

• Make learning more interactive and enjoyable

• By reviewing your mind maps regularly and dedicating just a few minutes a day to expand and refine them, you will dramatically enhance your ability to learn and retain new vocabulary.

Practical Categorization Method for Real-Life Application

A section on Daily Activities in the ‘Thematic Vietnamese & English Vocabulary 1’ by VLS The Vietnamese & English vocabulary categorization used in this series was specifically chosen to maximize efficiency and practical application. We know that language learning is most effective when learners can immediately put what they’ve learned into use. That’s why we’ve carefully selected words and phrases that will be most useful in real-life situations. By presenting vocabulary in a way that directly connects with practical contexts — like Business, Shopping, Social Interactions, and Health — this series s that you’re learning language that you will use every day.

What makes this series even more unique is our approach to contextual translations. We recognize that one word in Vietnamese may have multiple English equivalents, depending on the context, and vice versa. Therefore, we’ve selected the most common and widely-used translations to give you the most practical tools for communication in both languages.
