Hi Javier,
Well, there’s easy and then there’s realistic. I think the problem starts with students not being realistic.
Many students expect new words to become old friends the first time they meet.
But that’s not realistic.
According to the research I’ve read, it takes adults between 8 and 11 repetitions to learn a word.
That’s realistic.
But unfortunately, that’s not easy.
So does the magic combination of realistic and easy exist?
Maybe…
But I prefer realistic and easier.
