One of the hardest parts of learning a language is learning vocabulary, or gaining an understanding of sentences and expressions. Memorizing vocabulary on a word-by-word basis is forgettable and ineffective, as it is often learned outside of useful context. Are you trying to get out of the native language - target language translation trap? This notebook uses a tool we used when learning our first language: association. We associated words with visual input and actions. By associating words in the target language with pictures or actions, we create a direct path from the word to the object, skipping the extra step of translating into our native language. This helps us to begin to think in the target language, which is very helpful in developing fluency. Forget memorization and word definitions, and draw comprehensible input that your brain will remember. Available with blue or purple cover.
