Merchant Navy Technical Vocabulary: Learning Tips

How to learn and retain engine room and deck vocabulary quickly.

By Shashwat · ClassZee · Educational article, not official guidance.

Technical words are the main barrier in many exam questions.

Keep a personal glossary

Whenever you meet a new term, write it with a one-line meaning in your own words.

Learn word pairs

Strainer and filter, pressure and vacuum, joint and packing: learning contrasts prevents confusion.

Link words to machines

Attach each word to a machine: a turbocharger, a purifier, a heat exchanger.

Revisit often

Short, frequent review beats one long session. See the technical vocabulary page for a starter list.
