　　There is no doubt about it．The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously．I don’t mean while you’re unconscious．I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
　　That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue．I just picp．But some of them may be misunderstood．Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand．To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
　　The 5 % mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt．Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.
　　Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning．They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game．“There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say．“You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”
　　This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work．It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
　　And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves．Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings．A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
　　Don’t guess! Loop!

　　In a book called Magnificent Obsession，by Lloyd C．Douglas，a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly.When difficult problems worried an individual，friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution without the individual knowing their actions.When a solution was agreed upon，one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problems secretly，to the great delight of the worried individual.The helpers would stand by privately，contented with their success.No reward was given to the problem solvers，not even a sincere “than”，because they were never known.
　　This concept is popular today but in a different way.The phrase “pay_it_forward” is now used when one person helps another.However，the person being helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them.So rather than return the favor to their helpers，they are supposed to help someone else in the future，which means they pay it forward.It is the sense of responsibility that mas want to give bacal measure to the one who has helped us.But，in this case，the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.
