Communication technology makes people around the world communicate each other easily with low cost. The technology and cost are not barriers of communication but languages.
People in different countries speak different languages. If you want to contact people who do not use your language, you have to learn their languages.
To learn any languages, you have to learn two parts.
| The first part is grammar. |
| The second part is vocabulary. |
You can follow rules to learn grammar. So it does not take much time. However, there is no rule to learn vocabulary but learn by heart.
You need about 3,000 words in order to use a language fluently.
How long do you take to memorize 3,000 words ?
|
If you memorize a word a day. It takes 3,000 days or about 8 years. If you start learning a foreign language today and memorize a word a day, 8 years later you have 3,000 words of that language in your memory.

It should be so if there is no leakage. To memorize new vocabulary is similar to pour water into a bowl. If the bowl leaks, it will never be full.
If you memorize new vocabulary but forget the existing one, you will never get 3,000 words in you memory.
How is the leakage fixed ?
The best practice is to use vocabulary for listening, speaking, reading and writing every day. If you can't do so, I offer you a tool to fix the leakage.
