People have to think of it and then they type it in the comments and we challenge each other and suddenly the learning becomes fun.

It becomes interactive and most importantly, drum roll please, it sticks.

Oh, see?

So if you've ever watched my videos, and I hope you have, you've probably noticed I use flashcards a lot.

Yeah, mainly for pronunciation, but I'm not just showing vocabulary.

I'm helping you hear it and say it so you can better pronounce it and use it because that's what actually helps you improve.

So if you're using flashcards or just writing down words or thinking about using them, try this.

Don't just look at the word.

Now, my friends, say it, repeat it, use it in a sentence, turn it into a game.

That, my friend, is where the real learning happens.

So if you've been feeling stuck with your English, it might not be how much you're studying.

No, no, no.

It might be how you're studying.

Wait a minute.

That's almost profound.

Yeah, right.

OK, let me say it one more time for those of you in the back.

It might not be how much you're studying, but rather it might be how you're studying.

Try making it more active, more vocal, more F-U-N fun.

And if you've never joined one of my lives or watched my flashcard videos, come check them out.
