@invinciblevenus_: How do I play and talk to myself when studying vocabulary? How can I study this amount and retain all words? 1—You have to be aware f your Vorwisen(prior knowledge) and use it to your advantage. 2—study with actual lists and physical materials 3—go through the lists in your speed, the one where you are able to memorize it all 4— try active recall and note all words you don’t know. 5— play with the words in all of your other languages, have you heard something similar? Do you know the meaning? Speak aloud, guess. 6— All words you are 1% unsure about go into a notebook anschaue to be repeated 3 times. 7—on second review, write FC flashcards of all words you didn’t know with as many Eselsbrücken(memorisation helpers) that you can think of by yourself. 8— repeat until falling asleep.
