My name is Asky and I am a very curious monkey!
I love to play, draw and dance.
I also really like English! I learned a lot English letters, but for some reason I wasn’t very good at making words out of them before. And listening to children's songs in English, I did not understand much of them.
But one day... I met Anna. And it turned out that learning English is actually easy and fun!
First, Anna studied English at the university for five long years, and then at a language school in London. After that, she taught language at school and university for more than 10 years.
Several years ago, Anna began working at a children's center, where she teaches English to children aged three.
Classes at the center are always very interesting and fun! The other children and I play outdoor games and listen to English songs.
But at the same time, during the time I got to know her, I learned a lot of new words, began to construct sentences in English on my own and understand what is sung in famous children's songs.
On the pages of the site you will find a lot useful information about ways to teach young children foreign language.
And if you have any questions, Anna and I will gladly try to help you!
In the article you will find materials and ideas for organizing a lesson on English language"Food, vegetables and fruits."
Necessary English words on the topic “Food, vegetables, fruits” for beginners, children: list with transcription and translation
Learning the topic of Food, Vegetables and Fruits in English is a lot of fun. It’s always interesting to see colorful visuals for the lesson, list the names of “snacks” and be interested in the food preferences of your friends. The vocabulary of this topic is very large and therefore requires more than one lesson (at least three: food, vegetables, fruits).
However, all vocabulary should definitely be written down in a dictionary along with translation and transcription, which will always help to correctly read the sounds of unfamiliar words. There is no way to deal with this topic without visuals in the lesson, because there are few associations and memories of what a certain fruit or drink looks like; a visual connection is required.
IMPORTANT: Each teacher must measure the number of words to memorize independently, choosing those that are most often used and that are easy for a child of a certain age to understand.
