    The best way to remember words is context. I ❤dictionaries with added contexts in the definition of each word. When you don’t remember a word, go around it with context as Christian mentions. I do it often even in my native tongue. Don’t be ashamed of not knowing or remembering, it happens to all of us even native speakers.

    • @matrizaev
      @matrizaev Před 5 měsíci +6

      I would argue that "afraid" doesn't mean "Don't know what to do". This is too far-fetched. Intimidated, scared, "shit a brick" or something along these lines could serve as a replacement.

    • @deedeeen
      @deedeeen Před 5 měsíci

      I would argue that your examples wouldn't be easily recalled either. It's more like "cannot do what you want to do".

    • @cillboon
      @cillboon Před 5 měsíci +4

      ​@@matrizaevIt is clear you have a high level of English. Someone at a lower level will use words that make sense to them, in the moment. Suggestions like scared are more helpful than 5 syllable words like intimidated or idioms which do not sound nice. Put yourself in a beginners shoes. Keep it simple.
