#1 Language Learning Tip: "Learn vocabulary with a Spaced Repetition System
The bad news for language learners is that our memory is unreliable. Most of us only remember a small fraction of what we read, which means that memorizing vocabulary takes more than just one study session, no matter how intensely we cram. The good news is that, thanks to technology, there is a way to make sure you actually remember what you learn. It’s a tool called a Spaced Repetition System, or SRS. This tool prompts you to review what you learn right before you're about to forget it. Eventually, words make their way into your long-term memory. Once they’re there, you’re much less likely to forget them. This memorization technique is not only sustainable, but it also saves you a lot of time in the long run since you only study the vocabulary you are on the brink of forgetting."

#1 Language Learning Tip: "Always remember why you started! What made you say, 'I want to learn how to speak that language!'? Carve it into your memory and remind yourself of it whenever you feel like it's all too hard and you can't be bothered anymore. Learning a language isn't smooth sailing, but a good anchor will keep you stable when you need it!"
