Take verb. Conjugate into form you know. Google it (taking care to look for site in Spanish, add "lang:es", without the quotes, to the query.) -> Use dictionaries to understand the phrases you find.
destrozar -> destrozo -> "Micheletti asesina a su pueblo y destroza el partido liberal." -> "Micheletti murders his people and tears apart the liberal party." done! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

What i do is look for all the online dictionaries i can find. Some of them are better at giving sentence examples than others. also, check out http://www.elovivo.com/ which is a collaborative online dictionary. part of the interface is for people to add example sentences for words in their native language.
Right now, don't worry about learning absolutely every word. I suggest that you pick them up as you go, but sometimes i'm able to pick a certain word and find example sentences for it. That's much slower than just learning the sentences that i naturally come upon. For instance, i'm reading Harry Potter in German, while listening to the audiobook. I tend to grab a lot of sentences from there, since i have them all written in the book. On some days, i'll just pick up the harry potter book and turn to a random page and scan through for interesting words. i'm not taking every unknown words, just the ones that stand out. I use the sentence for context. This way, i don't have to go hunt down the sentences manually. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

One thing I like to do is find Disney songs in German with the lyrics written out. I usually pick a few cool lines out that I like, then listen over and over again.
I also like to find proverbs and catchy sayings for my deck too. While I do occasionally look through Linguee (linked below; German <-> English), I only pick the sentences that appeal to me and seem accurate, especially since the sites it pulls sentences from tend to have vocab I don't have much interest in learning, at least at the moment. Also, it appears that there's a similar database with Spanish Only which might be more conducive for SRSing. http://www.linguee.de/search 1 person has voted this message useful |
