When I first began to learn Russian, which is very different from English, I tried to memorize all the case endings. Russian has six cases with changing endings for nearly all nouns and adjectives. At first, they seemed overwhelming! In the end, I realized that learning in context was the best method. Today, I read and listen to podcasts in Russian. Based on this natural exposure to the language in context, the case endings are now much easier for me.
As a teacher, I also rely on context. My lessons focus upon a theme (i.e. Travel) and present words and expressions in context (for example, in natural dialogues). My students remember their English because of the magic of context.
