At the beginning of the semester my goal was to learn five words a day which sounded reasonable and very doable to me at the time. Soon I realized that it was not as easy as it seemed. Not having enough time to practice was one of the issues but also remembering the old ones while learning new ones was also a problem. Since most of the words are not used in daily conversations, practicing them is not possible, and trying to simply memorize them only worked for a short term. I would remember them for a couple of days but since I didn’t use them I would eventually forget them. At this point I have realized that my goals are pretty unrealistic so I have switched to learning fewer vocabulary words and also learning words that I would use in daily conversations.
