The Wall of the Words: an alternative way to learn English


When you arrive in a new country, you have to learn quickly the language and the mind thinks about all the solutions to make it effectively.

You can study the different meaning of the million of words that you can meet in one day or you can open the dictionary at one casual page to discover new expressions, but instead to do a lot of useless work, there is an original and special way to learn English: the Wall’s Words.

A Wall’s Words is just an interactive collection of words, parts of words or expressions that you could make in your house, in your office and place of work or in your classroom. It is very easy to create.

You can use it to remember vocabulary, spelling, letter-sound correspondence and more else. The words could promote memory and knowledge, better if it happens with other people.
Words should be added to the wall with the English part in the front and the sense in your language (Italian in my case) in the back. In this way you can focus on the English use, inserting these words in your future sentences.

You can choose all the words that you think will be important to remember, but also those one curious or with a special meaning for you in your language. The words could be taken from the outside life, from the newspapers, the book or from the TV.

A great challenge could be to put on the wall five words each day and then to make a questioning about all the words on the weekend. It will be a game to share with your friends.
It’s very important to repeat more is possible to get entry them in your quotidian life.

Now, you can create your Wall’s Words too. You need only a pen, paper, scotch, a free wall and a lot of fantasy.

Good luck for your new experience and for the learning of the language.
