When I first tried expanding my vocabulary in a foreign language, I made the classic mistake of just logging word + definition. I've since transitioned to rely on actual usage examples from books / in the wild. It's really the only way to actually learn, imo. Else you'll learn that a word means "wide" but have no idea how to apply it. With usage examples, you train yourself to realize you might use this word to describe a wide road, but this other word to refer to a thick stick. And the correct word starts coming to mind in the wild, incidentally, without a deliberate step to understand the difference. Definition alone is basically useless. |
