Episode notes
Use Spaced Repetition For Vocabulary
- Use spaced repetition to help learners remember vocabulary by reintroducing words in later episodes.
- Anna links weekly teaching episodes to longer weekend episodes so listeners hear words multiple times in different contexts.

- Seafaring describes people or things connected with travelling by sea, not just sailors specifically.
- Anna uses personal reflection (I should have joined the Navy) to show how the adjective applies to identity and lifestyle.
