How many new words have you learned in your target language? How did you learn them? Do you have realistic goals for your acquisition of vocabulary?
I have learned hundreds of new words in Bengali. I was able to learn these words by using Quizlet and a few Bengali iPhone applications. I try to learn 10 new words a day and try to incorporate them into sentences. This process has successfully allowed me to memorize all the words. This is a realistic goal for me because I gradually increased the number of words I learn so I can tackle a lot more now. I have become more comfortable with Bengali words from practicing speaking and listening. Also, whenever I watch movies or TV series in Bengali I write down any new words or words I do not understand so I can run them by my learning partner.
I am ahead of my learning plan for this week, but I have been practicing a lot of my other tasks from past weeks, such as using m apps and watching T.V series.
