Conversation, conversation, conversation…

Conversation, Conversation, Conversation…
If there’s a “secret” or “hack” to learning a new language, it’s conversation.
An hour of conversation (with corrections) is as good as 5 hours in a classroom and 10 hours with a language course with a book.
So, for instance, if I try to learn the word “to play” and use it in a sentence with a new friend, chances are I’m always going to associate that word with that specific interaction and conversation I was having with the person.
