I have similar experience, but I don’t think it’s a problem—my approach to learning a language is to first accumulate enough recognized words (thousands), and then to read a lot. In my experience lots of reading improves both recognition and recall.
That is pretty much what I’m trying to accomplish and want to try to increase the rate I am building the working vocabulary.
I do agree with both you and Vaughn. Reading should (very hard for me now) really help improving the recall once I can read and have a sufficient understanding of the statement and larger text. Texting is (I have been able to do some) good for me in that it tends to keep the exchange short and sentence structure more simple and short (which means I typically will have a reasonable grasp of the general meaning so can better infer what the unknown word or unrecalled word likely means.)
