Excellent video. Lots of good ideas. I didn’t take notes, so I’ll probably have to watch it again.

For me personally, one part was extremely useful: the part where Steve marks vocabulary words 1,2,3,4 and talks about why he does that. The example words were in Turkish (which I’m studying), so each saved word was a good example.

They weren’t simple things. They were complicated things with roots and various endings. And some of them might be idiomatic. For example “elden” is literally “from hand”, but it also can mean “by hand” or “on hand”.
