5. Mix new and old
5. 温故知新。
The brain craves novelty but attempting to learn lots of new words or phrases at once can be overwhelming. Novel concepts work best when they’re mixed in with familiar information.
大脑渴望新鲜知识,但如果一次性学习太多生词短语的话,则会欲速不达。只有结合已经熟悉的知识,才能更好地掌握新知识。
When you add new words to your vocabulary, try spacing them in-between words you’re already familiar with so they’ll stand out—your brain will latch onto them more easily.
当你学习新词汇时,请把它与已经掌握的、意义接近的词汇区分开来——这样大脑才能更容易地记住生词。
