<p>The study was designed to investigate the usage and its frequency of language learning memory strategies by those students who are learning English as a foreign language in Vocational Studies. A total of 186 students learning English in Hungary, Italy and Spain completed the first nine items of Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire and a Background Characteristics survey. These two questionnaires were administered and analyzed using google.docs. The results of the research are generalized as follows. The most used memory strategies are I use new English words in a sentence so I can remember them, I think of the relationships between what I already know and new things I learn in English and I remember a new English word by making a mental picture of a situation in which the word might be used.</p>
