Como aprender vocabulario de forma eficiente

1. Aprenda em contexto — nao decore listas. Aprenda palavras a partir de artigos, podcasts e conversas.
2. Aprenda colocacoes — "Heavy rain" e mais util do que apenas "heavy".
3. Use imediatamente — aprendeu "detrimental"? Use na pratica no mesmo dia.
4. 5 palavras por dia — qualidade importa mais que quantidade.
5. Revise semanalmente — tenha um caderno e reveja todo domingo.
