211: Best practice for vocabulary notebooks

211: Best practice for vocabulary notebooks

Aral asks: "What's the best way to organise my vocabulary notebook?"

Episode Summary:

Housekeeping:

  • Upcoming guests
  • New French Book
  • Conversations
  • British Sign Language course

Today's podcast:

  • How valuable is the time you're spending organising a vocabulary notebook?
  • What's the value of a vocabulary notebook in and of itself? Does it help?
  • The big question: Will you ever look at it again?
  • Some people recommend keeping exhaustive notebooks with every conceivable detail about the new word, organising thematically, etc...
  • I've tried all this before, but it's too slow!
  • Steve Kaufmann's thinking: How are you going to cover enough new vocabulary to make progress, if you spend so much time on each individual word?

My 80/20 of vocabulary notebooks:

  • Get your vocabulary from rich, compelling context (reading, listening, speaking)
  • Write things down if you find it helpful
  • Choose only the most useful words and learn them using your favourite process
