Then can I conjugate it?

If it's a verb?

Can I use it in a sentence or try to write an example sentence with this word?

That could kind of take the study to another level where you're actually producing some language.

And of course, it's more energy intensive.

It's not something you can so easily do, you know, waiting for your bus in the morning, which is the perfect time to use Anki.

But if you have some more dedicated study time, write down an example sentence and then maybe check that later by searching it on Google or using like ChatGPT or talking to your tutor.

you know, see if that, you know, works well for you to create that.

Yeah, more active use with the with the language.

And then another thing I would add, so I don't just make Anki flashcards with the definition and the term.

I love to include example sentences.

some context for the word.

So I also really focus on collocations.

Collocations is a word, I guess it's kind of a grammar term, but this means words that most frequently show up together.

And

So, for example, I guess in English, when you think of the word bath, like, I don't know, a bathtub, like when you're going to take a bath, that's one collocation, take a bath, or run a bath, right?

When you fill up the tub, run the bath, like that's a verb that very commonly goes with the noun bath.

So to just learn one single word is great.

But if you can learn it in a larger context, so like with common other words that go with it, that's even better.

So I try to maybe look up a collocations dictionary to get some of these more frequent usages for a term.
