KEY IDEAS FROM THE FIRST CHAPTER
Find the list of the most commonly used words in your chosen language from the LIVE web- environment:
Choose a section of the word list that you would like to start learning and print it out. If you´re a total beginner then start with the top 300 words. If you already know the first 300, then start with the top 1200 words. Do everything according to your current language level.
Underline the words that are new to you.
Start using a memorizing program that you found from the LIVE web-environment and start to insert the new words into the program. A sensible rate is 7-10 words per day. Do that every day for at least 15-20 minutes and add words to the same existing word list.
Listen to the pronunciation of every word with translate.google.com and write it in the memorization program with your own words, so that you could reproduce the correct pronunciation again later on.
If you already know all the 1200 most commonly used words then don´t learn any separate words at all and instead work with texts as described in the Third Chapter.
