Beyond the Flashcard: How do you keep vocab review fresh?

Lately, my vocab sessions feel like a marathon of endurance rather than a joy. I’ve started imagining myself as a high-stakes strategist or a historical official navigating a royal court just to make the words stick! It helps to see how a term permeates a story instead of just sitting on a screen. How do you all weave context into your reviews? I’d love some creative ways to move past the boredom.
