You can't master a second language without a little learning tricks.
Memorizing is not the right way in learning, especially in learning vocabulary. Making it fun is the key. With that, you can remember words better by making them vivid and alive in your head.
For example, how do you remember the word rainbow?
Well, rain and bow.
You'll see rainbow after the rain and it looks like a bow.
Drawing a bow while explaining makes students remember the spelling and the meaning in a snap. That's the trick!
That's so much better than writing 'rainbow' for 15 times, huh?
When I was in the UK staying with my host family, I told my host mom that I really liked potato chips. The next day, I had fries as a side dish for dinner. Then only I remembered chips mean fries in the UK. Since then, I have been very conscious of the differences between British and American English.
These are some examples that are more commonly used.
However, of course, vocabulary is not the only difference between British and American English. Are you craving and hungry for learning more?
