- Write the sentences in characters.
- Test yourself writing out the new word in characters to memorise.
- Add the new word to your Mandarin flashcard app to learn it.
- Make sentences of your own with the new word.
- Use a dictionary (e.g. Pleco) to search for other example sentences using the key word in context.
- Break down the characters of the new word - have you seen these characters before? Where? What key radicals are there? What components have you seen before? Make links between this word and others you know (synonyms/antonyms etc.)
