Get my free mini course “Get started with your Italian for Travel”
When I was learning English to pass my IELTS in order to get into my master’s course at Warwick uni, I used to have an address book where I would note down new useful words and phrases I came across with the aim of remembering and using them in my writing and speaking.
Every now and then, I would flick through the address book and see which words I remembered. Some of them, I remembered, some others I didn’t. Despite this, I loved flicking through my little vocabulary list in alphabetical order, as it gave me a sense of accomplishment about what I had learned up to that point.
Yet, I soon realised that this system had its own flaws.
We know that the brain remembers better by association and by putting words in a context. I realised that I should’ve organised the words by topics rather than by alphabetical order… or maybe I should’ve just used Google to find out that there was a fantastic tool called Quizlet that would allow me to do this in a interactive way. Quizlet is a great online tool that allow you to create personalised language flashcards and practice your vocabulary with games and fun online activities.
So today I want to invite you to use this tool to boost your vocabulary too. And I’ll help with that!
When I created my free mini-course Get started with your Italian for Travel, I also put the most important vocabulary in flashcards sets in Quizlet.
