German learning tips ranked — I have been teaching German for over 20 years, and in that time I have handed out a lot of advice. But how much of it actually holds up?

You finally admit it 😅 Especially if you look at the wrong side of the dictionary 😂
I have tried flashcards when you suggested them to me and, honestly, it really transformed my vocab learning. So yes it does take a little time to set up, but the pay off is absolutely worth it.
Have you tried any of my tips?
