learning new words by heart punish yourself with writing lines

This is cause a English psychological problem named “English trauma” according to A.J.Hoge. A
“trauma” is a deep wound or injury. most who learn the foreign languages struggle with nervousness

So are there any shortcuts to language learning?
introducing Pareto’s 80/20 rule
By focusing on the most powerful 20% of your target language, you’ll achieve a massive 80% of your results.
Learning a foreign language usually requires quite a lot of effort: there’s
vocabulary to memorize, grammar to learn, skills to practice…
All this can be a lot of fun and very rewarding, but it still requires effort.
But what if I were to tell you that most of your success in learning is the result of about 20% of your effort?
Or that most of the conversations you’ll have in your target language will only use
about 20% of the vocabulary you are cramming?
This may sound like another overly sensational clickbait phrase, but bear with me
for a moment! This concept is called ‘the Pareto Principle’ and it influences lots of
things in life – including language learning!
make your language learning more efficient so you can progress faster. What is the Pareto Principle?
In its essence, the Pareto Principle states roughly 80% of results come from 20% of
the effort – that is why it is also widely known as the 80/20 rule, as well as the law of the vital few.
This principle was coined by Management consultant, Joseph M. Juran and named
after the Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto who in 1896 showed that approximately
80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.
Similar distribution can be applied to many other areas. Here are a few other Pareto Principle examples: lOMoAR cPSD| 48641284
20 % of the world’s population hold 80% of wealth
80 % of pollution originates from 20% of all factories
20 % of drivers cause 80% of all traffic accidents
80 % of software can be written in 20% of the allocated time
20 % of posts generate 80% of traffic
20% of workers produce 80% of the results
20% of customers contribute to 80% of the profit
The percentage is sometimes approximate, but what matters is not the exact
numbers. The key thing here is that most results come from just a fraction of the effort you put in. 1.
Contextualize words and phrases
Contextualisation is putting words or phrases into a meaningful and real context
rather than being treated as single items of language for language manipulation
practice only. Contextualising language tries to give real communicative value to
the learners’ target language. The context can help learners remember the
language and recall it at a later date. Learners can use natural learning strategies
to help them understand contextualised language, such as guessing meaning from context.
Don’t worry about advanced words for impressing people with your vocabulary,
Contextualising language wil help you.
Nevertheless, do not take this the wrong way, Being simple or primitive while
speaking can be more meaningful and effective.
Furthermore, people you talk to will use most of the same words, and simple phrases
As such, you can – and should – expand your vocabulary as you learn, and advanced
words will automatically enter your vocabulary in the future. However, don’t chase
them at the beginning of your learning process
focus on the most frequent words and phrases
As you’ve just learned, a relatively small number of the most common words can
get you quite far in practicing and using your target language – this is the 80/20 rule in language learning. lOMoAR cPSD| 48641284
Of course, the most frequent words will differ from language to language, but there
are a few key categories you can single out. Using French as an example, here are
a few key areas you should focus on:
Pronouns: tôi, tao (I); bạn, mày (you), anh/ chị ấy (he, she), nó ( it )
Basic verbs: có (to have), học (to learn), sống (to live), muốn (to want), đi (to go), đến (to come)
Time indicators: bây giờ (now), hôm nay (today), ngày mai ( tomorrow), hôm qua
(yesterday), tí nữa (later )
You can often find lists of the most common words in your target language online or in language apps.
For instance, you can seek out the most common Russian words for travel and by
working with a teacher, you can also ask them to help you concentrate on the most
essential words for your target language.
Even a couple of hundred of ‘the right’ most common words is enough to start
practicing your speaking skills in basic conversation and to read simple texts.
Don’t worry about advanced words and impressing people with your vocabulary.
Don’t be afraid of sounding ‘simple’ or ‘primitive’ – people you talk to will use most
of the same words, and simple phrases can be meaningful and effective, too.
You can – and should – expand your vocabulary as you learn, and advanced words
will enter your vocabulary in the future. However, don’t chase them at the
beginning of your learning process –
learn the most common simple words and make the most of them.
How we make the most of them 2.
Start speaking now
So Just memorizing the most common words and learning basic grammar is, of
course, not enough for learning a language properly: after all, what’s the use of
knowing 2,000 words if you can’t, well, use them?
Don’t get me wrong: it is good to have a large vocabulary and it is important to
never stop learning. However, you should never wait until you ‘learn everything’ before you start speaking.
Too many learners make the mistake of waiting until they reach a certain level to
start speaking – don’t be one of them. lOMoAR cPSD| 48641284
To make the Pareto Principle in language learning work for you, you need to start
using the things you learn as soon as possible in conversation.
The earlier you start speaking the language the easier it gets and the faster you
learn. Waiting until you learn X words or reach level X is a waste of time.
In the beginning, you’ll be able to say just a few sentences, but the important thing
is that you do say them frequently:
wish someone a good morning, chat about
the weather, ask what time it is…
You may hear some new words in reply, but you’ll often understand them from
context or at least get the general idea of what the person is saying – which is
totally fine at the initial stages of learning.
You’ll be able to say and understand more in the future, but to get there you need
to start speaking right now.

Optimize your learning habits
This tip has less to do with the language itself and language learning techniques,
and more to do with the day-to-day details of your learning: when you do it and
how, what learning tools you use, what distractions there are, and so on.
Optimizing learning habits will look different for different learners, but here are a
few things you might consider:
When do you learn best during the day?
If your learning is most effective in the morning but you only have free time in the
evening – take a look at your schedule and see if you can free up a little time for
learning in the morning at least a couple of days a week. lOMoAR cPSD| 48641284
It can be hard to do with a busy schedule, but give it a shot – if you are a ‘morning
learner’, 10 minutes of learning in the morning may actually be more effective than
half an hour of learning in the evening.
Are there many distractions when you learn?
Work emails, social media notifications, kids or pets that want attention… On the
one hand, we do need to pay attention to our work, families, and friends.
On the other hand, if you try to do it and learn a language at the same time, neither
will be successful – multitasking doesn’t really work.
While not all distractions can be eliminated every time you sit down for a learning
session, do your best to lower their number. Find a quiet room, turn off
smartphone notifications, ask your family to give you some alone time. And again,
10 minutes of uninterrupted concentration will be more effective than half an hour
or more of juggling multiple tasks.
Are you using modern technology?
Faster Internet allows you easier access to language learning resources.
Good headphones will make listening practice more effective and more enjoyable.
A smartphone with a handful of language learning apps will allow you to learn and
practice on the go wherever you are.
Of course, you don’t need the latest most expensive tech to learn a language.
However, if your tech is obsolete or broken, it may actually slow down your
learning – consider replacing it.
