Deep dives
Context is crucial for vocabulary learning
One reason to stop memorizing vocabulary lists is the lack of context. Memorizing words without understanding their meaning and usage in context makes it difficult to effectively use them in real-life situations. Learning words in context, such as reading passages or articles and reviewing unfamiliar words afterward, helps to remember them better and use them accurately.
