A lot of what you might read on the internet on how to learn German vocabulary words is really a lot of hot air & hooey.

In this episode we'll bust 5 myths on vocabulary learning and give you a clearer picture of why vocabulary learning is important.

After all, if you don't know what the words mean...you'll be up a creek without a paddle.

The 5 Myths:

1. You only need to learn 3,000 words to truly speak German!
2. Vocabulary isn't as important as grammar.
3. Learning vocabulary is as boring as watching paint dry.
4. You need to learn all the German words RIGHT NOW!
5. The only way to learn vocabulary is with flashcards (rote memorization).

You can find the quote from my client on German vocabulary learning in the accompanying blog post.
