I'll cut to the chase. Here’s the most effective way: Contextual Repetition of Words. The End. Other methods, like flashcards or vocabulary lists, can work, but they’re nowhere near as effective as contextual repetition. What do I mean by contextual repetition? Contextual: When you read a paragraph and encounter a new word, you learn its meaning in the context of that paragraph. You understand how the word is used in that specific instance, rather than just finding it on a vocabulary list. Repetition: When you come across the same word again. The problem with flashcards and vocab lists is that while they provide repetition, they lack context. The human brain is great at remembering things, but not out of context. It needs additional information to properly ingrain new words into your vocabulary, making them usable in any situation. Actionable Steps: 1) Go through a lot of reading and listening material. Examples: Comics News Books TV shows YouTube videos 2) Revisit the same material at a later date to add that contextual repetition loop to your learning routine. PS: I did this mostly with news podcasts. I’d listen to a 10-minute news segment in the morning, find the meaning of any new words, and then revisit the same segment in the evening or the next day. There’s a fantastic tool I know of that takes this technique and amplifies it. I can tell you all about it on a free call. I’ll explain how to find the resource and use it in the most effective way possible. See you soon! Schedule a free call here

If I have to give you the formula to learn french in a few lines, it would be as following - Input - reading and listening - go to as many interesting sources you can find in your target language and consume those. The more interesting these sources are to you, the better. - Grammar - Feed yourself just the basics of grammar to get started and then keep consuming rest of the concepts alongside your input routine. - Repeat Once you have done enough of this, output (speaking and writing) wont be an issue. When I started learning french I was looking for some secret key to learn the language, shortcuts, vocabulary lists, some magic potion to help me learn faster. But the only magic potion there is with language learning is contextual input. I wish whole heartedly that there was one and I could give it to you. But there is none. P.S. - You already have learned a language in a similar way. Your Mother Tongue. You never picked up a grammar book when you were a kid, Just learned the language by listening to people around you talk. Your brain, which is a beast at picking up patterns, did its thing and slowly and steadily you starting speaking. Now as an adult, all we are doing is supercharging your language learning abilities by adding grammar concepts and reading into the mix. Its a fun journey, only if you let it be.
