Learn new words and construct sentences by telling stories.

Time: 1 hour per day.
Step 1
Tell a story about yourself in the target language. The story must be about yourself and can be easily described to others. If necessary, you can prepare a draft with each word in advance, then open the video recording. During the recording process, if there are words you don't know or can't construct sentences, use each word as a substitute. Make sure to speak for at least 5 minutes; if you can't finish in 5 minutes, continue until the story is complete.
Step 2
Watch your own video, record the words you don't know, translate them into the target language, create an Anki card, and name the story. Do not put other unrelated words and sentences in this card. Translate the sentences you don't know and correspond each word, then put them into the table.
Step 3
Record the story again in the target language. This time will be easier than the first, but there will still be some difficulties. The second time you may use different sentences and words to describe the story, repeat the above, write it down, translate, and record it into Anki and the table. Continue to repeat for the third time, and you will find that you can speak the whole story more fluently. Repeat... Repetition is the key.
Step 4
At first, you need a week to tell a story, gradually you may only need 2 days to tell a story proficiently. Make the stories diverse, surrounding the whole life, and you will get words and sentences that are deeply related to a group and your life, which can be naturally used in a new environment.
Step 5
Review words and sentences twice a day, it is suggested once before going to bed or upon waking up, and once before telling the story.
Step 6
Write down the entire story and have a language partner correct your grammar (this step can be replaced by AI)
