What are your techniques for learning French vocabulary? (especially how the words are written) That might be a silly question but I honestly have troubles with writing in French these days. Giving the fact that quite a lot of sounds are not actually pronunced or/and the pronunciation of the different French words can be extremely similar (which does not always help one in developing proper writing skills), I can easily mess up the words and, hence, the meaning of the whole text while writing. Any tips for learning/memorizing the vocabulary?
