Hello. could you recommend a method how we should learn those compound words if they are written together, separately or with a hyphen. As far as I know, there is not a specific rule for that. So do we have to search all compound words on the internet and memorize them all? Or is there a method to help us with the right spelling of those compound words? Thank you. 🌼
