When you learn a new language,

vocabulary building is your only

goal for the first 6 months

2 What vocabulary should I

Four main sources:

From your textbook dialogues

1

2 From your environment (eg train station, TV, movies, street signs)

3 From your teacher/tutor/exchange partner

4 Proactively thinking what you want to learn

“The most effective

vocab-building strategy

is to carefully choose

what vocabulary you

actually want to learn!”

…from Olly

Repetition and emotion are the foundations of memory

In other words:

Learn what matters to you (emotion)
