Learning a language at an intermediate level is tricky.

As a beginner, you have tons of free courses that guide you through the most important steps. And as an advanced learner, your level is good enough to consume native content such as podcasts, TV shows or newspapers.

<\/span>But for intermediate learners, the resources out there are more sparse. It can be hard to find material that is relevant for you and has just the right level of difficulty.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once you\u2019re past a beginner\u2019s level, you step away from the basic stuff everybody has to learn \u2013 such as greetings, basic tenses and so on \u2013 and start opening yourself up to broader sources of content.<\/p>\n

And that can be overwhelming. Because that\u2019s the moment you move from a small puddle to a whole ocean of things you don\u2019t know. It\u2019s hard to figure out where to start and how to navigate your way through that ocean.<\/p>\n

See, you\u2019ll never learn every single word of language. Even in our native language, we all have a different vocabulary, based on our needs and circumstances. So there\u2019s no point in just memorizing everything that crosses our way.<\/p>\n

Instead, you need to focus on the words that you use most frequently in your life. That way, you build a solid framework, make more progress and are more likely to stay motivated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When I was 18, I spent a year in Ecuador. I\u2019d say I had a solid B1 level when I arrived there, so there was a lot of room for improvement.<\/p>

After a year, my Spanish had become better than my English. Do you believe me when I say that I still remember every single Spanish word I learned when I was living in Ecuador?<\/p>

It\u2019s true! And there\u2019s a simple reason for that:<\/p>

I didn\u2019t learn random words. Instead, every new word I learned was attached to a story, to something that happened in my life at that moment, something that was important to me right in that moment.<\/p>

Actually, I even remember the exact story of each word I learned in Ecuador. For example:<\/p>
