I was finding it hard to naturally assimilate certain new vocab into muscle memory/everyday use. So I thought I would try an approach that would allow me to remember vocab + as well as characters, in the long term. And be able to integrate it into my everyday life contextually. 

Hey, guys, this is just a list of some of the vocab I’m currently studying.
