I think this is the most useful video about English learning I've ever seen. Make example sentences personal to you. I used to memorize example sentences from a dictionary, but it was inefficient. I hope making sentences by myself will help.

1. Learn only what has meaning to you
2. Active & Passive vocabulary:
Active:
-writing stories or other things which are personal to you.
-Using a new word several times in several different conversations.
-making your own example sentences.(make it true and personal)
3. Learn vocabulary in meaningful phrases and sentences: different forms of a new word, collocations.
4. Regularly review the words you learn: using digital apps like Anki and Quizlet, making flashcards
