Vocabulary

How many times does one need to encounter a new word before they can use it?

I have seen some words again and again but still cannot use them.
Of course I vitually remember them all after checking the dictionary twice

If a word is in your passive vocabulary (you recognize it - or not - when you see it), try to use it a few times, to put it in your active vocabulary. That will help you remember it longer.
