    How the hell do you speak so WELL!!!! (I'm a native English speaker) You give me so much inspiration for learning a new language. Your pronunciation and fluency is perfect... just HOW!?

    For me, the best way to learn a new piece of vocabulary is to write it down in my notebook with its definition, and then I make some sentences using that particular word. It has worked for me in an amazing way.

    sometimes I have troubles with making interesting sentences with new memorized words. Recently I have discovered chat GPT and it helps me a lot. I can choose from multiple options suggested to me the best one for me.

    Would have really been great had you made a list of apps to use and a list of the 1st 2nd 3rd list of the 500 most common words. In english would have been good as there will never be a premade app for Albanian. I have been here for yrs. I can make sentences but most of the time they talk, i dont understand them.

    It works great that way in the beginning stages. After hitting intermediate you can start to translate into your target language. It's beneficial to be translate bidirectionally. Good luck!

    @@loistalagrand I guess so. If I keep reading and listening during the time I would have spent reviewing too many flashcards I think I would encounter some words from the cards and make learning more fun. Flashcards on the other hand could help me keep memory of a larger vocabulary of words that are uncommon. I'd still need time to practice by using techniques like shadowing dialogues, talking, etc
