I know what you’re thinking. “What? There’s a wrong way to learn a language?!” I guess I should clarify myself.
One of the reasons a lot of people give up learning a language is because they are working too hard. What does this mean exactly? It can be many things. One of the biggest ones I’ve heard of is: trying to learn 100 words a day every other week. Basically, it’s learning too much at an inconsistent rate. You’re setting yourself up for frustration, if you do this! You’ll find yourself not actually learning any words at all. You might remember them for a few days, but then you won’t be able to recall them a week later. This can bring serious frustration, and it may cause you to give up!
Consistency is key, when learning a language. learning 10 words per day for 10 minutes is much more efficient! Of course, this is just my preference. There really isn’t an exact number of words that we should learn everyday. My rule of thumb: Don’t go over 20 words a day and don’t spend any more than half of an hour learning them. Afterwards, build sentences with them and then try to bring them up in your conversations. Remember: if you don’t use it, you lose it! This is more efficient, than cramming 100 words per day. Don’t bite more than you can chew.
Use the words you learn in your conversations in target language! In my experience, the words I remember the most are the the ones I have memories with. Especially if the conversation was a funny one. Your mind will start to make connections with the words you’ve learned to the memories you’ve lived in.
Word of the day: die Abkürzung (noun, feminine) – 1. shortcut 2. abbreviation
Example: Ich nehme die Abkürzung. I am taking the shortcut.
Example 2: es gibt viele Abküzungen in dem Text. There are a lot of abbreviations in the text.
schönen Tag noch!
