The grade-9 habit 🌟
To master this vocabulary, learn every noun **with its article** - **l'ambizione**, **la carriera**, **il lavoro** - because the gender is part of the word, and keep the accent on **l'università**. Keep the ideas that are easy to confuse clearly apart - **l'ambizione**, your ambition, versus **la carriera**, the working life you build - and link the study words (**la laurea**, **l'università**) to the work words (**il lavoro**, **lo stipendio**). Testing yourself both ways is what builds real recall.
