Learning vocabulary with Memrise

Hey guys.

I have been using the Memrise website lately as a means to learn and, mainly, to remember new vocabulary. According to the own website:

"We use mems to help you form vivid, sensory memories. We test you continuously, always making sure to give your brain just the right workout. We remind you of what you've learned at scientifically optimized times so your memories are always growing stronger, and never forgotten."
More about the method here.

There are many different courses on Memrise, for example, vocabulary for IELTS, CAE, general english, advanced, etc. I decided to make my own course and add to it the words I have learned on my 6 months in school. My aim is to contextualise the words as much as possible, making sure the meaning is understood, and to associate the meaning with another information (image, example sentence), making it easier to remember.

If you want to check my course out, the web address is Advanced English Vocabulary. Feel free to give any feedback and/or to suggest new words.
