Taking a new expression into everyday life

Hearing a new word and feeling ready to use it are different things. If you join a conversation activity, these ideas can help you keep practising afterwards. They are editorial suggestions, not a description of Ramiro's session.

  1. Save the whole phrase.

    Instead of noting an isolated word, write down the situation in which you heard it. That gives you a clue about when it might fit into a conversation.

  2. Ask about the tone.

    Check whether an expression is informal and who you might use it with. Repeating a phrase without understanding its context can cause misunderstandings.

  3. Try it again without rushing.

    Use one expression in a chat and ask for feedback if needed. A small exchange can be more useful than memorising a very long list.
