If I have time in my day and space in my head, while I’m thinking in my internal monologue, I sometimes make myself switch language or I think ‘how would I say that in XXX’ if I can’t think of a way to phrase it, I look it up and then screenshot it to harvest the vocabulary later. It’s not always possible to do all the steps, but even switching your internal monologue is a great way to practice with yourself
Yes! I do this too. Intentionally forcing yourself to think in the language sounds weird, but it’s really helpful. Sounds like you have a great system for noticing taking notes when you notice gaps in your vocabulary. 💪🏼 I’ve never heard “harvest vocabulary” before. Such a great phrase! Mind if I borrow it?
