Well, how about doctors advising to chew 30 to 40 times... to get your body to digest well the food, not only to chew well the food but adjust the gastric juices etc...
Yes, but I was complaining because this is a long list... I'm not very used to write but type (and my handwriting is horrible ).

3000 words!

It seemed like a huge number to me, so I have done a bit of 'googling' & various sources say that the average native speaker will only use 1500-2000 words on a regular basis.

They will know & understand perhaps 20,000 though.

Eso es antipedagógico, pero espero que puedas encontrar una solución, Irma.
Yo creo que el consejo de Bob es bastante útil. Por mi parte sólo puedo solidarizarme contigo y desearte fuerzas.

If I "had to" memorize 3000 words, I would use a SRS software program like this one: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/

Eso digo yo, pero el teacher insiste... Claro que no puedo aprendérmelas todas (bueno algunas ya me las sé ). Pero es tan absurdo aprender de esta manera...

Gracias Angélica. Iré poniendo alguna en los foros, para practicar.

Thanks, Tacuba

En todo caso, lo más seguro es que no tienes que "aprenderlas", la mayoría por lo menos las tienes que traducir y asegurarte de practicar su escritura en inglés.

Sigue siendo antipedagógico, pero mil menos es pleito por menos.

Pienso igual que tú, Angélica. De hecho, todos nos quejamos.

Tengo que poner las definiciones... ¡en inglés!
