Make a glossary
Use the SaveWord function very regularly!
When you read a text on-line, you just select it (left mouse button) and click the SaveWord button. The word is automatically saved to your personal glossary. The time you spend on learning to master this tool will pay off. | How to | as usual!
When you read books and other paper texts, you should make it a habit to highlight words in the text, and write translations in the margin. BUT, you must also write the words, translations, and a sample sentence in your notebook. Don't regard that as extra work, regard it as a very powerful learning session.
Revision is supposed to be "the mother of all learning", so at the end of the day you take your notebook to the computer and add your new words to your glossary.
If you can afford it, a scanner/translator pen is an excellent investment.
