Some people are peripatetic learners. That is, you learn by walking around. You can remember that you learned the word loquacious (talkative) while sitting at your desk in your bedroom, but the word taciturn (not talkative) while at the kitchen table, driven out of your room by your sibling's loud music. Perhaps you learned Brobdingnagian (huge) while sitting in the waiting room of your doctor's office and Lilliputian (tiny) in the car on the way home. Try to recall the location where you learned the word; replay the study place and locale in your brain. You may be pleasantly surprised at how easily you can associate the two.

Bonus trivia: The Greek philosopher Aristotle used to lecture while walking around. His followers were called the Peripatetics. Now that's a piece of trivia you can use when you're moseying through the mall.
