Dear Elham and others, I think that most language learners have difficulties when dealling with new words including me. I rarely study new words without context as it's extremely troublesome and boring to remember the meaning of these new words. Moreover we may not be able to understand the usage of these words by learning in this way. From my point of view, the best way to learn and manage new words is to study them carefully for the first time (by looking up their meaning in many dictionaries, reading many examples and text consisting these words) and then try to apply them into your speaking or writing. When I can use a word and I believe that it is used correctly (by looking up at dictionaries or asking native speakers), this word becomes a part of my vocabulary and I'll never forget it. I'm afraid of using words incorrectly so I always check them in dictionaries and, fortunately, I have a convenient dictionaries system to help me look up a word quickly and easily ^_^ I am influenced deeply by a famous quotation "it's better to spend the whole night to understand the problem rather than waisting all your life to doubt about it". ^_^
Hope you find something useful from my own experience, and I also want to know your particular way of studying new words. It's always a big trouble of any language learners.
