Hi all, I am doing the vocab mountain up until day 12 and so far, I followed the strategy according to the video https://www.gregmat.com/class/how-to-properly-do-the-vocab-mountain.
From what I understand the strategy is that we assign a simple one or two words for each vocab so that we can go through them quickly, I was able to apply this strategy and doing pretty well in memorizing them so far. However, I just watched https://www.gregmat.com/class/dedicated-tc-and-se-session-5 in the video it also mentioned that I should know some synonyms for each of the word. Should I change my initial vocab mountain strategy? For example, changing from only associating one word to each vocab to associating 3 words to each vocab?
Another question I am curious whether we can assume that synonyms are associative? for example, in the vocab definition ambivalent has the synonyms vacillating, equivocal and irresolute. Is it okay to say the word irresolute is synonymous to vacillating and equivocal? Another example, advocate has the synonyms champion, back, endorse. Tout has the word endorse as a synonym, can we say that tout is synonymous to advocate, champion and back. etc… Is this a reliable assumption or not?
