898. How to Learn Vocabulary π (and not just stare at word lists)
Description
In April I did a Zoom workshop about how to learn vocabulary. This is the audio version of the workshop, which I recorded more recently. Learn how to notice, understand, record, remember and use new words. Donβt just stare at word lists with translations. Instead, try to find some more effective ways to expand your vocabulary.
