Everyone has his own way to learn and discover what works for my was good. Recently I was learning about phrasal verbs but when I saw the large list of phrasal verbs on internet I lost my motivation. Then I tried to find another way and I found good videos on youtube with examples of series or movies. Another thing that I noticed when I'm learning new vocabulary is that I prefer use my examples for study the words instead of only use the meaning in my language. And finally I am practicing for an interview too and I like when I try to use my own answers instead of memorize the paragraph that I already wrote.
