The article explores how people learn new words by looking at how they connect words in their minds. They gave a word game to both English and Croatian speakers to see how they linked words together. The results suggest that personal experiences can affect how we remember words. This means that teachers should create activities that make learners actively engage with new words to help them remember better.
