I would like to know y’all thoughts on how to effectively practice the vocab mountain technique. Does anyone else feel that way? Any suggestions to overcome this?
How many days of that mountain you have gone anyway ? Sorry If I sound presumptuous, but I think , you probably is being impatient and thinking I would get the results quickly. You have to be pertinacious mt friend. Go crazy. Most of us just crib and do not do the job. Look for best possible ways to get things done quickly , In reality it doesnt happen that way. Just keep a single target 30 words a days … spread it in 5 time period maybe 6 words potion small enough to digest. but you have to be consistent and do it. there is no other way.
I am on day 16 and today only revised all the words in 2 hours non stop and got still 20 words not exactly right. But think and be honest how many days have you consistently finish the target ? just think if you have been consistent it just a matter of 20 days you will be on fire , even if you did the effort and you are unable to remember a lot of words then that could be problematic but I highly doubt thar. most of us just dont do the deeds anf think okay this is overwhelming . thats all for today i am coming to eat my 30 word mean of today as I just revised 450 words havent eaten new meat so . keep dogged determination. you will get through
hey, I would say try to
-
read a bit about their origin, they’ll become less boring once you know their story
-
do revision in batches rather than going over all words at once, take up 4 groups at once and do it across 4 slots in the day. You’ll be able to do full revision in 2 days.
Hopefully, this will help you not only cram the words but also learn their function and overall make learning verbal a fun exercise.
P.S: There are no shortcuts
I’ve only been through 9 groups but I would say these groups are super effective, I see how much they help out and use that as motivation when I have to learn a new group or revise the mountain.
