Primary 5-6

Some words are easy to learn. For example, the English word “education” is similar in Spanish (educación) and French (l'éducation). Other words are more difficult. But these ideas can help you.

 

a) Word sounds

Imagine you want to learn the word “whale”. Think of a word that sounds like “whale” in English or in your own language. Then make a sentence with this word. For example: “The whale has a long tail."

 

b) Funny sentences

You can also make a funny sentence with the word. For example:
“William the whale is driving a car.”

c) Pictures

Next, draw a picture of your funny sentence. This will really help you to remember the word.

 

d) Repetition

Finally, repeat the sentence many times. Repetition is a good way of memorising things.
Good luck learning new words!
