3 biological blockers that sabotage your French, and how to bypass them

A free PDF on why learning vocabulary from a notebook so often fails, and what to do instead. Every claim comes with a source, so you can check the studies yourself.

What is inside

1. The forgetting curve: the memory trace of a new word fades over time unless you reinforce it.
2. The fluency illusion: recognising a word is not the same as recalling it from memory.
3. Ease is a trap: effortful, spaced study builds longer-lasting memory than cramming.

The author is not a neuroscientist. She describes study methods and gives the research behind each claim.
