I wanted to see if I could keep up with it before I blogged about it. So far, it&#8217;s been really easy to take a few minutes out of the day to pick a word, search for something using that word, and post something on twitter every day.<\/p>\n<p>What I haven&#8217;t mention yet is that each word I pick is a word I just learned personally. Usually, I pick a word from my dictionary history, which has things I looked up recently while reading books or listening to podcasts and then search around for something online that uses that word. It&#8217;s actually more for myself than anything as it allows me to review a word I just learned in a different context. At first, it annoyed me that I couldn&#8217;t just add a bunch and schedule them to appear later on twitter. But it&#8217;s actually helping me to memorize the word because it may be a few days after I learned it that I actually post it. As fans of SRS know, it&#8217;s best to not think about a word for a while before conjuring it up again.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to try your own WOTD on twitter, post a link to your account in the comments so I can follow you. Don&#8217;t just post the word though (which is same as looking it up in the dictionary). Try to find a sentence that uses the word and post a link to the source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been following my twitter account, you may have noticed that I&#8217;ve been posting a new word along with an example sentence and a link to the source material every day for the past few weeks.
