Start with something simple and easy, and write down whatever vocabulary you have memorized and know in your notebook. 

And there is something more important, namely carrying a small notebook wherever you go, because in this way, you can do it by writing down foreign vocabulary that you just know and then writing it down, and if you forget, you can open the small notebook again without difficulty.
