~ problem of lang learning﹕ believability for "the word for X is Y" is low

— some paper or TPR book

• b/c brain is like: "no, word for X is X"
• apparently believablity is a TPR term

Then there is the boredom. But most importantly, I often end up with words that just won’t stick… I look at a Greek word, and have no idea. I flip the card - ah, it means “resource”. The next day, I see the next card… Still don’t remember. Flip the card. “Resource”. Same thing next day. Doesn’t feel productive or fun at all.
