Trying to learn everything at once and getting overwhelmed by the sheer number of words in your new language can be overwhelming. Sometimes, even if you do learn new words, you forget them quickly because you haven't heard them enough in context.

 

 

One way to get around this problem is to keep afew new words in your vocabulary by using them on a daily basis. Since it takes an adult an average of 150 times to learn to use a new word properly, having aWord of the Day or several words can help build your vocabulary.

 

 

You can do this one of two ways. One, you cankeep a running list of words you'd like to learn and designate one to be the word of the day. Or, two, you can wait for new words to come up organically inconversation, and then try to use the new word several times.
