Memorization is one of the most inefficient ways of acquiring language. Use them—speak, write, listen, read!

Personally, I find it easier to understand the literal meaning first, then visualize and 'translate' it to the various figurative meanings.

Then I think that you should revise your 'teaching plan', which is obviously not the best way.

It's good to understand the meaning first but they have a written exam as well.They are supposed to guess the meanings and correct forms by themselves
