Problem
How to remember Bulgarian words? It is depressing when you read a lot and can't remember a thing.
Answer
You aim to learn 1 -10 words a day in a foreign language. At the end of the 365 days of the year, allowing for a few days off for sickness or holidays, you should have learned a minimum of 300 words to get by, maybe as many as 3000! That means quite a conversation.
Pick out a few words which are easy. That maintains achieving your daily target of five minutes a day. You keep up the confidence which gives you momentum.
