How to learn words that stick

  1. 01Learn words in a sentence, never as a single translation.
  2. 02Review on a schedule: the next day, three days later, a week later.
  3. 03Use each new word once in your own speaking or writing within 24 hours.
  4. 04Learn ten words well rather than fifty words badly.
