Line 15:
Learning vocabulary out of context is virtually useless, because you don't get clues to the range of meanings of a word.
If I memorise that a particular word translates as ''line'' in English, does that mean a line drawn in the sand, a queue of people waiting to board a bus, a wire for hanging clothes on, or a metaphorical boundary that should not be crossed?
Instead, memorise whole phrases that put a word in context.
Then substitute other words into these phrases.
Many people start by replacing English nouns with Kunwok nouns, e.g. "what's that ''daluk's'' name?".
