14. 14 Challenge the future Some good advice … Do not fill in the gap text in the book Do not write translations IN the text Do not spend time copying the text Do not learn the texts by heart Understanding is not enough: have attention for form, put the text under the microscope! Use all senses simultaneously: read + listen + speak Study actively: USE the words, make your own sentences Play with the text
