What does he consider "learning" a word? I'm genuinely curious, because it seems like there are so many ways to do this, especially when you are already comfortable with more than one language. Does he memorize the closest translation in his native language? Use a picture? (and if so, does he use the same set of pictures for each language?)
I doubt I could accomplish 100 words/day, but I may try his approach anyways.
- btilly 16y agoI believe that when he starts he memorizes the words in another language. After that he starts memorizing definitions involving other words in his target language. When he was learning Japanese I think he memorized the translations to Mandarin rather than English, because those two languages were more similar.
