Well, there are also good fb pages in various languages.
I started this thread about twitter, too. Twitter, Facebook and music are far more real than coursebooks. And they're great when you can't afford to have 30+ min of uninterrupted quality time. As for vocabulary, depends on what you did before? I only said that you don't seem enthusiastic about those flash cards. In related languages there are lots of "unknown knowns", ie words you can potentially understand, but haven't come across (enough) yet. Words that will become effortless with exposure. I'm not saying that you should abandon flash cards (although electronic ones don't pile up), but I don't think I've heard of anyone who does this "vocabulary day" thing. It also sounds like it would help to be more selective in what you create flash cards or SRS cards for. Also maybe that's just my impression, but you don't seem that interested in "popular" stuff? Unless your goals are strictly academic, it should be very useful to read some easier literature, watch series etc. Fewer lookups, more enjoyment and more input :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

You are right, I am not enthusiastic about my flash cards, and I have anki decks too, but
this doesn't help learning all this vocabulary. In fact I am only interested in academic things, however, I also need every day vocabulary for encounters with other people, so a bit of random stuff could not hurt. I will clean out my twitter list, and start from scratch and try it out for once. However, I believe that this attitude of knowing a bit of it all, keeps piling up the cards, since I don't know what will come in handy one day, so I really want to know every word. I already do the watching and reading (at least for French / Italian / Dutch) - actually I don't count this into my learning, I do it on the side, when I have one hour to spare, or when I am tired and don't want to study any more. 1 person has voted this message useful |
