Remembering new vocabulary so that you can use it when you speak is one of the  hardest things about learning a language. In this episode, I interview Paul, a learner from Slovakia, who uses a special method for remembering new vocabulary. Highlights from this episode are:

- some of the things he does differently to get results
- the importance of a 'whole sentence' method (and learning 'fluency phrases')
- the spaced repetition method, and the system he uses
- the effect of the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve
- how long the method takes him every day
