I am currently on lesson 30. It is getting a little bit more difficult for me, due to a
lot more newer words being shoved in to the lesson. When I get to lesson 50. I have to go
from 50 -> 1, 51 -> 2, etc. The problem is (still a little ways to go), if we shouldn't
memorise all the words and just go at it one lesson a day. How we suppose to translate it
in to X language? The reason I ask this question is, I've learn a lot of words and can
pretty much recall a majority of them, but have forgotten some of them also.

Sorry if this makes no sense. I'm not good at explaining anything.

Don't worry about it. That is the way the system works. You are meeting new words each day/lesson. You don't have to memorise them. Each day you will be reminded of the words as they are used again in coming lessons.

As well as that, you should revise the previous five or six lessons each day so you keep meeting the new words, used in context. The exercises usually repeat the words in a slightly different context and you will find you will learn them without too much conscious effort.

Of course you can't remember all the new words. At the moment, your only concern is that they go into your passive vocabulary. That is, you recognise them when you read them or hear them in context. They will pass into your active vocabulary in time. Each revision lesson I read the previous month's lessons and then I play the audio for the previous month, or more, and I find I understand them pretty well. If there is a word or expression I don't understand I check it immediately.

Learning with Assimil is the easy way to master a language.

Do you recommend going over the lesson 2-3 times a day or just once?

I go over each day's lessons around five times or so. That should take you less than half an hour in all. I usually go over the lesson two or three times in the morning, then repeat the lesson through the day when I get the chance and a couple of times again in the evening.

At some time through the day I will review the previous week's lessons, either reading or listening to the audio, or both if I can.
