How to use
A cumulative routine: keep the daily new-word count small and fixed, and review old words alongside new ones. The focus is on meeting words again before they fade, not on cramming more.
The most common vocabulary problem in transfer-admission (편입) English is “I memorized it, then forgot it the next day.” That isn’t a memory flaw — it’s a missing review cycle. A word you see once is supposed to fade; it only sticks when you meet it again before it’s gone. This resource (detailed in Korean) is about building that “meet it again” routine.
The core ideas
- Small daily amount, every day. A little done daily beats a lot done in bursts. Not missing days matters more than the size of each day.
- New words + review words together. Each day, study today’s new words and re-touch words from yesterday, the day before, and last week. Weight review more heavily than new words.
- Widening intervals. Re-see the same word at growing gaps — next day, a few days, a week — so you meet it just as it’s about to fade.
- Test English → meaning. Exams ask you to recall meaning from the English word, so review in that direction. Missed words become tomorrow’s review pile.
