A Simple Way to Learn Vocabulary | The Gold List Method

The video introduces the Gold List Method, a technique for long-term vocabulary retention in language learning. Created by David James, this method involves writing vocabulary lists in a notebook, waiting for a period, and then reviewing and distilling the lists. The process includes creating a head list, waiting 2-8 weeks, and then quizzing oneself to identify words remembered. Unremembered words are distilled into new lists. The method emphasizes minimal revision and encourages sourcing vocabulary from real-life contexts. It offers flexibility in execution and is an alternative to digital flashcard apps.
