We looked up answers on Quora: 我们看了美国的一个问答网站，Quora

Don't just memorize vocabulary lists: 不要单纯去背一串单词

You might know the meaning of the word without retaining or internalizing it: 这样就算知道了意思，也不会用

Vocabulary words are the building blocks of your language ability, but don’t be obsessed with just memorizing vocabulary: 虽然词汇非常重要，是学语言的基础，但千万别迷失在单纯背单词这件事上
It’s more useful to know how to use 50 words than to memorize 100: 会用50个词比能背出100个词更有意义

不要一味追求高难度

Read things you’re interested in or will use: 读你自己感兴趣、用得到的内容

You don’t have to read classical novels: 不一定要读经典小说才有质量

Jane Austen: 奥斯汀

The content might not be the most practical or useful to you: 这些内容对你不一定实用

You might need to check 80% of the words you're reading: 你可能要查80%读到的词

20%不懂的内容是最佳难度

It means you can pretty much infer new words from the context: 因为你基本上可以从上下文推断出新词的意思

Define reading in broader terms 广泛定义阅读

High frequency content: 找你使用频率高的内容
Even work-related topics could be fun to read: 即使工作类的内容，只要对你有用，也是好的资源

Current affairs/events: 时事

听美国播客

I learn a lot of new words from listening to podcasts: 我很多新词都是听美国播客学的

I'd write down new words every day:每天接触的新词会记下来

I'd also write down the sentence where the new word was used: 也会记下新词出现的句子

今天分享了一些我们实践后觉得非常有效的词汇学习方法。
