java - Inserting to Sqlite is slow

I am new to Database.

I am tying to insert 22000 word to a sqlite DB but it is taking forever to complete

for (int i=0;i    String sql = "INSERT INTO WORD (word) VALUES ("+"'"+s.get(i)+"'"+");";
    statement.executeUpdate(sql);
}

Table name is WORD and field name is word(which is a String)

Here s is an arrylist and s.get(i) returns a string... I have made the connection and trying to update
the table.

It is very slow. What am I doing wrong?
