You couldn’t keep studying foreign language though you bought vocabulary books. Words in the vocabulary are hard to remember. I think that most people who try to study foreign languages have experienced such experiments. I suggest the way to overcome these problems. It is to create teaching materials by yourself. There are many articles and videos on the Internet these days, so you can easily get the information you need to study. It will be easier for you to memorize words efficiently in the process that you create materials based on this information. In addition, I think that the teaching materials created by yourself will increase the attachment and motivation for studying. Recolas is the application to achieve these goals. This app can save not only words and phrases but also images and sentences that help you understand words deeply. Moreover, you can practice writing and pronunciation by using audio. Therefore, you can improve skills that is necessary for leaning foreign language. You can also check your progress by just seeing a graph. I hope that your foreign language learning will be more enjoyable and productive. Please try using Recolas!! Some Icons made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com
