SJ asks: "I'm using flashcards to help me learn English expressions. But am I relying too much on translation?"
In this episode:

The challenges of learning a language at a higher level
Why you shouldn't worry too much about translation
Use bilingual flashcards to help prompt you - not to produce a direct translation
Why, as a general principle, you should study entirely in the target language
