Hi, Carterlin! Welcome to the forum!

I read your advice about my paragraph. :)

From the original posting:
Quote:
I have a suggestion. When you learn a new word use it as often as possible. Following is an example of what I mean using the word bicycle.

Susie told me about getting a new bicycle. I asked her how she liked her new bicycle. She told me that it is a red bicycle and she likes riding her new bicycle. She said that she rides her bicycle to the market. she rides her bicycle to school. She rides her bicycle to the park. She said she likes her new bicycle and she is glad she has a bicycle. I told her that I am glad she likes her new bicycle.

Note that in the preceding paragraph "bicycle" appears ten times; "new" appears five times; "her" appears seven times; and "she" appears ten times. That repetition will reinforce the learning of those words. (It is true that repetition can be boring, but it will certainly help to get the words into your head.)
As you can see, I have I have emphasized the relevant paragraph by highlighting it in red. While it might not be normal to use the same word so often in conversation, it happens. And nobody reading that paragraph will forget that Susie got a new bicycle and that she likes her new bicycle.

:wink:
