🤓I always suggest that reading and writing is a helpful way to learn new vocabulary. The more of times you're exposed to a new word, the better you'll remember it. The other day, I wanted to write about my mom's stamp collection in Hungarian. I didn't know the word "collect" and looked it up on an online dictionary.

📝Just 20 minutes later, I read an article about UX design. Then I saw the same word being used in the context of "collecting information". I immediately recognized the word because it was in my short term memory - and now that I saw it twice in two different contexts, I can connect various meanings to the new word I learnt.

🤠Now I am sure I won't forget the word because I saw it a few times and my brain made the association that this is an important, frequently used word. I didn't even need to use an app or a textbook to learn it - just my own writing prompt and a simple article I was reading online.

🎥I have a YouTube video about how I write in a foreign language and why writing is so useful for learning new words, even as a beginner. Check it here. In the video, I go into detail about my process of looking up and learning new vocabulary through writing.
