    Principles:
    1. Focus on high-frequency words
    2. Each flashcard should have a sentence with a new word
    3. Recall, don't recognize
    4. Study your flashcards every single day
    5. Pace yourself or you'll burn out

    How the hell do you speak so WELL!!!! (I'm a native English speaker) You give me so much inspiration for learning a new language. Your pronunciation and fluency is perfect... just HOW!?

    Holy shit I've been doing 87 Flashcards a day and it's really burning me out, I'm so greatful for your video, now I can heavily reduce the load. I was getting demotivated and questioning my ability which made me even more set on proving I could do it.
    Thanks for releasing me from this Pit.

    For me, the best way to learn a new piece of vocabulary is to write it down in my notebook with its definition, and then I make some sentences using that particular word. It has worked for me in an amazing way.

      sometimes I have troubles with making interesting sentences with new memorized words. Recently I have discovered chat GPT and it helps me a lot. I can choose from multiple options suggested to me the best one for me.

    Would have really been great had you made a list of apps to use and a list of the 1st 2nd 3rd list of the 500 most common words. In english would have been good as there will never be a premade app for Albanian. I have been here for yrs. I can make sentences but most of the time they talk, i dont understand them.

    I've been using flashcards in the wrong way though. I put the sentence in the language that I'm learning in the front, and the transition in the back. Should I throw away all of my flashcards? I have 7 months of them. :(

    • @chahailus
      @chahailus 5 месяцев назад +2

      It works great that way in the beginning stages. After hitting intermediate you can start to translate into your target language. It's beneficial to be translate bidirectionally. Good luck!

      @@loistalagrand I guess so. If I keep reading and listening during the time I would have spent reviewing too many flashcards I think I would encounter some words from the cards and make learning more fun. Flashcards on the other hand could help me keep memory of a larger vocabulary of words that are uncommon. I'd still need time to practice by using techniques like shadowing dialogues, talking, etc
