Practice makes perfect…
We need to see learning any particular word as being a cumulative process where knowledge is built up over a series of varied meetings with the word.
At best, teaching can provide only one or two of these meetings.
The others involve deliberate study, meeting through meaning-focused input and output, and fluency development activities
(Paul Nation, “Teaching Vocabulary”, Asian EFL Journal)
