Hello all!
I am trying to learn new methods of learning vocabulary because I have noticed that if I read a sentence in German I know what the words mean, but if I want to form a particular sentence I cannot think of the vocabulary I need. I have trouble creating sentences because I do not remember the words I need. I concluded that I need to be exposed to the vocabulary as many times possible for it to come to me naturally.
I like to learn new vocabulary by watching series on Netflix or listening to podcasts and if I come across a new word, I will write it down with the translation. I am thinking of writing short stories/passages (in english first, then attempt german) with these new words in order to make it stick. Any thoughts?
If anybody has an alternative way that has worked for them, please let me know!
Vielen Dank!
