An alternative to Vocabulary Lists
What is Narrow Listening?
Narrow listening is listening to lots of material based on the same subject. An example will be watching 10 videos on the weather.
Why?
Listen to lots of material on the same subject will mean lots of repetition of vocabulary. This makes it easier to guess the meaning of words. Also you get to hear the words in context.
How?
Google translate can give you the basic words you need to do a search. I do my searches on Youtube.
For Best Results.
Watch videos on things that really interest you. Also, if you know the subject well in your own language, then it will make it easier to learn in another language. Remember that fun and interesting stuff makes you learn faster.
