Just. WRITE. Writing is analysing, you’ll get more ideas as you write. It doesn’t need to be perfect, for now you can just blurt out words and ideas randomly. You can fix it later.
Create a skeleton/structure before writing.
Stop before you get exhausted. It’s best to stop writing when you still have some energy and inspiration left, this will also motivate you to get started again next time.
Make a to do list
Work in bite sizes. Even if it’s not much, as long as you put some ideas on paper or do some editing.
Simple language =/= boring language, simple language = clear language.
Own your words. If they are not your words, state this clearly in the text, not just in the footnotes.
STOP BEFORE YOU GET EXHAUSTED. Listing it again because it’s easily one of the best tips a teacher has ever given me.
7 steps - 7 days method to memorise new foreign words
Day 1
Write 25－30 words, but no random words. You can add pictures or combine these words with your native language words (ex. my 사랑 mother) ✍🏼
Day 2
Repeat these words and create flashcards. It is better to use Quizlet because it has a built-in translator and audio 🗃️
Day 3
Record audio how you pronounce words with intonation. Before recording, don’t be lazy to check all transcriptions or how native speakers pronounce them🗣️
Day 4
Go through your list of words again, put away paper and try to write as many words as you remember with translation 🧠
Day 5
Listen to your audio and while listening, write words (on day 3, when you record words, rearrange them). So this day you take dictation 👂🏼
Day 6
Flashcards 5-7 minutes or more (actually you can do them when you have a free minute during these days) ⏰
Day 7
In the morning, repeat words - say them out loud and write. While writing, try to combine with words you have already known. In the evening do it again 📚
Don’t forget to check these words with flashcards or audio from time to time adding new words 📆
