Yr 7 Spanish Teaching the sound-written links Phonics is for me the point of departure for language learning whether introducing KS2 learners to a foreign language for the first time, beginning with an ab initio KS4 GCSE class or teaching adults. What I mean by phonics is teaching the key sounds of the foreign language (‘key’ being those sounds that are written the same butpronounced differently in English) and fixing them in long-term memory by embedding them in words, often nouns but not always. The words are learnt in a multi-layered way through seeing a vivid image, hearing and repeating the sound of the word and doing an accompanying gesture. The three strands of this VAK approach strengthen memory, making the knowledge robust and secure enough for easy retrieval at any time, and more importantly, for application to new words in new contexts. Here is a fuller explanation of the above and a short film of the approach we use. Phonics resources Phonics weblinks for French, German and Spanish material.

Must-have: a separate profile for your kids on Netflix Read on to find out how to set it. Perhaps you and your family use the same profile on Netflix. You watch The OA while your son devours Pokémon and your daughter tunes into Peppa Pig. I didn't know this but, apparently, having a common profile is not such a good idea. No inappropriate movies or series You may not have noticed but there's quite a lot of racy stuff on Netflix. Who knows, maybe it's a good idea to also create an individual profile for your partner? But how do you do it? First, create an individual profile for your child. Click your name on the top right, then click "Your account" Next, click "Manage profiles". Now make sure the profile is child-friendly. In the profile overview, click on your child's profile. Is your child a little older? Click your name on the top right, then click "Your account". To make absolutely certain, you can make it impossible to switch profiles if your kids use Netflix on your Android tablet. Don't have Netflix yet? More news on:

The Natural Order of Language Acquisition | Thai Program I'm always amazed when I talk to people about language learning, how much pressure we needlessly place on ourselves. Ego, paradigm, we just don't like to wait... call it whatever you want - when it comes to language, people seldom claim that learning a foreign language is easy! Words like "Fast" and "Easy" are the by words of language schools who are trying to convince you that their program is better than the rest. So, we take something admittedly difficult, and we attempt to do everything at once! I mean does this make any sense at all? Think about the skills you need to understand a person when they're speaking to you. What about the need to speak? There's Reading and there's Writing as well. What I find amazing is that somehow, we adults are able to take something that we've all done well in naturally, turn in into a subject that few people really enjoy and even fewer seem to do well at, and then try to EVERYTHING AT ONCE! Think about it.
15 encouraging phrases a Spanish speaker like me would love for you to learn. I'm a 38-year-old bilingual Mexican-American, and I recently came to a very interesting realization about non-Spanish speakers. I meet a lot of people at work, on the street, and in my community who want to make an effort by speaking my native language. It's great. But often, they default to the same handful of phrases: "Hola," "Buenos días," maybe a "Como está" once in a while. I was chatting with a co-worker recently about my work as a writer. Let me explain: "Si se puede" means "yes we can," and it's a renowned cry of Latino pride made famous by American labor leader and social activist Cesar Chávez way before President Barack Obama made it a slogan. But the phrase is so generic now that it has almost taken away the true meaning of his pride. That wasn't his fault, of course. Please don't get me wrong: I appreciate it oh-so-much when non-Spanish-speaking people take the time and effort to say something to me in Spanish. 1.
