Elaine's Learning Tips
Stay Patient and Interested
Learning a language is a long-term process. Maintaining curiosity and joy in learning is more important than speed.
Practice Daily
15-30 minutes of daily study is more effective than one long session per week.
Understanding Over Memorization
Don't rush to memorize everything. First understand the logic and patterns, and memory will happen naturally.
Timely Review and Consolidation
Use our SRS system to review at optimal times, ensuring solid knowledge retention.
