Part 8/10:
Active recall is the practice of trying to produce a word or sentence from memory rather than passively reviewing it. Translating sentences from your native language into the target language forces you to actively retrieve vocabulary. When combined with mnemonics and a robust review schedule, active recall enhances retention and fluency.
