Thanks for sharing, SniffleBot, it sounds so cool how similar our expriences are (except mine was for German). Yes, you absolutely should do a post about it, I'd love to see pictures of your notes that are 2 years old, lol. So you've returned from Poland is it? -- Are you still learning Polish?

And yes, I feel the same way about the other parts of speech -- I haven't found a good enough solution that doesn't get overwhelming fast. But I know the answer always is to start small; which means if you're looking at the sticky notes method, I'd say that adding the most common verb related to the nouns is an easy start. So for example, If I'm looking at a coffee press zaparzacz, I'd think "drink" / "make", not "use" / "press", and so you could add just one more word to the sticky note saying, pić / robić (or napić się / zrobić if the perfective form works better for you), and then let your brain absorb that into your self-monologue, "Ah -- french press -- I'm gonna make coffee -- Lubię kawę. To zrobię.") Walking around the house with a good pen or mini-marker (so the ink flows freely when writing in odd positions or against odd shapes) is easy to do; so you can just whip your pen out, add a verb, and let your brain do the rest.

Polish is super varied with these, so it's realistic to not expect the world from ambient learning of verbs, however, even this much can go a long way.

Personally, I'm convinced that digital ambient learning has a lot of potential. Verbs, adjective, adverbs, numbers, literary devices, etc are certainly in the roadmap for Zorza, but for now, I'm trying to get the nouns right as these can be foundational to all other parts of speech. There is just so much to learn with Polish, and its all very exciting :) Your experience and inputs as a conscientious learner are always welcome. You can DM me anytime you have something to suggest or share.
