THE GOLDLIST METHOD
-
With goldlisting, the focus shifts to the long-term memory to remember the words once and for all.
-
Then you wait for at least two weeks before copying them, storing out the expressions that you remember from those you don't.

-
The first thing to do is select 25 words. We open an notebook and write those words numbered from 1 to 25 on the left side next to their translation into our language.
-
In the next session we choose another 25 words and repeat the process, numbering them from 26 to 50.
-
After the first two weeks or so we go to the first list of words and select 70% of the words that we know the worst, that is, 17.
These 17 words form the first distillation of the list and we write them in the part right of the notebook.
The method is not limited in any way. You can create more headlists in a day if you want. It's just important that you follow a certain system.
Remember, if you create 10 new headlists on the first day, you're in for 10 first distillations in two weeks' time.
And as you already know. the longer you're goldlisting, the more it adds up.
