I have always been interested in languages, being a foreign language teacher (teaching English to speakers of Spanish). I always advise my students to try to learn 10 words a day. A good method to do this is to write down the English word and then the word in the target language - plus a sample sentence in both languages. This is a bit easier now, thanks to the internet. You can use various tools (like Google language tools) to get you a translation of the sentence in the target language.
That seems like on of the worst ways to learn a language.
1) Lack of any Association Techinques means that you need a lot more time to learn the vocabular.
2) If you use Google to translate your sentence you will learn wrong things because google does Word to Word translations.

Most people who teach foreign language have no clue over effective learning.
