Important Sentences from This Episode

“Don't learn words by themselves. Learn them in context.”

“How can I use this word?”

“Learn a word. Understand it. Then use it.”

“Five words you can actually use are much more valuable than 50 words you quickly forget.”

“The more you use a word, the more natural it becomes.”

“The goal isn't to know more words. The goal is to use more words.”
