Quick answer
Common mistakes with lookup and translate are stopping for every word, saving words without context, translating before guessing, and building a list you never review.
Fix one of these habits before adding more study tools.
Mistake: looking up every word
If the sentence still makes sense, keep reading and come back only if the word repeats or matters.
Mistake: making the list too large
A short list you review is better than hundreds of saved words you ignore.
Mistake: using audio without checking the text
For new words, look at the spelling while you listen so sound and written form stay connected.
