Learn German - Words

I recorded myself reading Grüße aus Deautschland 1 and was pretty happy about it.

So today I decided to start with Grüße aus Deautschland 2. I have done part of the subscription. I will try to finish it in a day or two.


Learning New Words

As far as my English is concerned, I haven't learned new words for a long time. The strategy I have been using is the "leaving as it is". It means that I just do what I usually do, reading and writing, without deliberately memorizing any new words. If they remain in my mind, then it is great. But if they just leave, it's up to them. 

But after reading Buzan's Studying Skills and The First 20 Hours, I think I need to do some new words learning stuff so that I can get out of my comfort zone and make improvements. 

There are many methods to do that:

1. You can do as what people conventionally do, i.e. using memory cards. 
2. You can do it the "Never Study English" way, i.e. reading from dictionaries. 
3. You can do it the creative way where you are supposed to use your imagination and association ability to come up with an image with sound.
