2. Learning vocabulary. Here again, forcing yourself to memorize words for years is
wrong choice. During my school years, I made it my task to memorize 10 words every day.
The problem was that I could not use these words when speaking a foreign language, many of
them were not used at all in everyday life and were quickly forgotten. Then I realized that this
method is very wrong in gaining vocabulary in the language. Over time, I realized from
experience that the easiest way to memorize words is to read more in the foreign language
being studied. If you are learning English, read texts in your field of interest or books and
magazines on the Internet rather than reading boring, irrelevant texts. Do not stop at the
words that everyone does not understand, but when you come across unfamiliar words that
you need to understand the meaning of the sentence, find the translation in the dictionary or
services like Google Translate and put it back in the notebook. If possible, try to read 3-4
pages of a text in the foreign language you are learning every day, and each time you find the
translation of an unfamiliar word, write it down. Never try to memorize what you write, I
usually don't even read back what I write. Our ability to remember is formed in such a way
that if we see a word and just translate it, we will not remember it, but if we write it down
somewhere, the brain emphasizes the importance of this thing and the word starts to stick in
our memory. . As a result, a word that occurs 5-6 times in different texts will be memorized in
an unforgettable way, and at the same time, we will learn in which context the word is used in
which meaning. Another benefit of reading a text in a foreign language every day is that we
will strengthen our grammar base by seeing the grammar topics we have learned used in the
text. The second successful method of memorizing vocabulary was explained by Tim Ferriss, a
famous American scientist and the author of the book "The Four-Hour Work Week".
According to Perato's theory, we spend only 20 percent of our time on the things we need in
our lives, but 80 percent of the results we achieve are given by this 20 percent of effort. Tim
Ferriss can speak seven foreign languages fluently. He explains the secret of language learning
as follows: "3 months are enough to understand 90% of a foreign language you want, but it
takes 3 years to understand 95%." Therefore, learning the language perfectly requires a lot of
hard work. So, according to Perato's theory, first of all, it is necessary to thank the 20% that
