2. Be Deliberate With Your Timing
2.考虑机会
Its far more effective to practice for 15 minutes a day, every day, than it is to practice for five hours once a week.Spaced repetition is a learning technique thats been in favor for decades, and its been studied and shown to be more efficient than rote repetition.Spaced repetition works because the brain tends to reinforce memories of things it encounters frequently.
一天训练十五分钟,天天坚持。如此比每次训练五个小时,一周一次愈加有效。间隔性重复是一个受青睐了几十年的学习方法,它被研究证明是比死记硬背更有效。间隔性重复有成效是由于大脑更易对常常遇到的事物加大记忆。

You go further together than you do alone. Thats not just our way of encouraging you to find a study partner, its also about creating a larger framework for your learning. Words you learn on their own are easy to forget, but if you study a group of them concurrently in the context of a sentence, you have a much greater ability to grasp the interconnectedness of the language.
一块学习比单独行动走得更远。这不止是鼓励你找到一个学习伙伴的办法,而且是为你的学习创造一个更大的框架。你一个人单独记忆的单词比较容易忘记,但假如你同时在句子的上下文中学习一组单词,你有更好的能力来把握语言之间的内在联系。
