LEARNING STRATEGIES

For next month:
Study appendixes 12 to 18
which are related to the units about infinitives and gerunds
Procedure
1. You need your book, a device with internet access to the oxford learners dictionary
check word by word: pronunciation, definition (there might be more 1 definition), examples
gimmick: repeat the example minimum 3 times out loud

1 appendix per day

There is some research on brain studies that has discovered that a normal student should repeat or use meaningfully (in context) each item he/she learns minimum 8 times, but since I considerer that you , my dear beloved students, ARE potential and special , I suggest the key number could be  3.

Another important fact that is very obvious , but infernally difficult to realize, is that your brain needs to hear your voice repeating the utterances (sentences) so it could memorize better.

The last piece of advice is that you should consider language as a set of chunks/formats that should be discovered , organized , and memorized: Look up for the situations in which you most likely will find that expression and discover it. So, do not translate word by word, unless you have a teacher to tell you that it is right.
