most people are building vocabulary wrong. here's what i mean.

you read a word. you highlight it. maybe you even google its meaning.

two days later? gone.

not because you're bad at learning. because the method is broken. there are a few specific mistakes that silently kill retention, and almost everyone makes them without realizing it.

i wrote about the biggest ones here - and how to fix them: wordflippin.ai/blog/common-mistakes-to-avoid-when-learning-new-words

curious if anyone else has run into this. what's your current vocab learning process?
