Arrange vocabulary alphabetically, under topics or according to word families.
Learn the appropriate article at the same time as the new word (e.g., le/la/les, der/die/das).

Do any exercises you haven't done before.
Find someone to talk to in the language.
Use the language to summarise a unit, saying what you have learnt about the theme.
