Just three phrases a day will take you far

Have you ever tried to learn three phrases a day of the language that you are learning? Well, just try doing it. These phrases should not be too long. Do not try to learn long sentences with commas. All long sentences consist of short phrases. Long sentences are hard to memorize and you do not have to do it.

Why three? I think that one phrase a day would be too easy. Five are harder to memorize. Three is just a right number. Keep doing that for three weeks. Within three weeks, you learn 3x7x3 = 63 new short phrases. If the average number of words in each phrase is three, than you may learn as much as 189 words within three weeks.

All that you learn that way is your ACTIVE vocabulary!!!

You gain your passive vocabulary by reading books, listening to audio material, and watching movies. We talks about that a little later.

Thanks for your attention.
