My course of word learning: reply to Rebecca

I have taken an assiduous course of words study for a long period. At the beginning, it was less effective, for I separated word study from reading, writing and others. I read a dictionary over and over again, ignored methods like using two sides of a card. It is against Mao's teaching: Injuring all of a man's ten fingers is not as effective as chopping off one, and routing ten enemy divisions is not as effective as annihilating one of them.

Even so, much of my time was wasted on less effective plod, it more or less familiarized me with the New English-Chinese Dictionary, later, when I found other reference books, those dull and dry yet concentrated pure word reading become a solid foundation which enables me to make a breakthrough, to see a spark now and then, suddenly, my plod paid off by the fact of a world brand new word analysis system will be presented to the public, hopefully, it will be recognized and bring the fruit I deserve. For the last two years, I was encouraged by several nice friends, my achievement is inseparable with them. Those who are willing to be listed their names at the acknowledgement pages of my books, please notify me, otherwise, their majia will be their representatives.

As for my methods, what I like to say today is:

* Use more creative ways instead of rote--mechanical memorizing;

* Use a Chinese-English Dictionary* Use paired-associate learning

* Read linguistic books

* Be flexible, humorous besides hard working

Good luck!
