Learn one word in another language

Pick one new word in a language you like and use it in a sentence.

Why it helps

One word a day is easy to keep up, and after a year you know hundreds. Using the word in a sentence helps it stick far better than just reading it.

How to do it

1. Choose a common word, such as an everyday object or verb.
2. Say it aloud three times and write it down.
3. Make up a short sentence using it and say that aloud too.

Make it easier

Just read and repeat the word once.

Make it harder

Learn three related words and link them in one sentence.
