The grade-9 habit 🌟
To master this vocabulary, learn every noun **with its article** - **o sonho**, **a ambição**, **a carreira** - because the gender is part of the word, and keep the accents on **a ambição** and **o médico**. Keep the ideas that are easy to confuse clearly apart - **a ambição**, your ambition, versus **a carreira**, the working life you build - and link the study words (**a universidade**, **o estágio**) to the work words (**o emprego**, **o salário**). Testing yourself both ways is what builds real recall.
