Vocabulary is the one of the worst parts of my learning. The method by of Vocabulary Mining is also, I think, called context learning. I do believe that the word comes alive when used in the context especially it has various meanings. My problem is that I keep forgetting the meaning of words and have to go over again and again. Should I move on to more materials so that I come across the words again?
I recently found your blog and love all the ideas and methods you shared for us here. They help structuring the way I learn the new language.
Hi Sumie! I’m glad you’ve found the posts helpful. I know what you mean about forgetting the same words over and over again. 😅 (I always forget the meaning of désormais in French. 🤣) Of course you could experiment with new materials, but you could also try using the vocabulary in writing and speaking. That might help activate it. I always open my list of phrases and words I’ve mined and try to include as many as possible in my journal writing. Sometimes it’s a bit awkward, but it helps me remember the meaning. Let us know how it goes if you try it!
