how do you learn/teach vocabulary in a language?

We Answered:

I suppose it all comes down to what kind of a learner you are. Some people make lists and just memorize them, others resort to say flashcards. Those are cards where on one side you have a picture of something and then on the other the word for it. But you can also use flashcards to learn grammatical structures. If you plan on teaching someone you can play a game and by means of it introduce the new/unknown vocab. I think it always helps to learn words in a context. You could also visualize what you are to learn and that way make it easier to remember. Instead of figuring out how to remember say: pencil, soap, Adam, amazing. Turn it into a story.
As adam was trying to sharpen the pencil he slid on the soap and fell. that was amazing.

The weirder the story the easier it is to remember the words ;)

Do you have a project idea for teaching weather/season vocabulary in Spanish?

We Answered:

Have your students do a seven day weather broadcast ( like on the news) for the rest of the class. Or have them make a farmers almanac so that way they use most if not all the words they learn.

We Answered:

The Internet is a wonderful invention. If you take your subject of your question and add to what you want to know about it, the search engine will do the rest. For example:

My subject is Teaching. I want to know where to get certified as a teacher.

The search engine result is as follows:

Teaching + state certification requirements

What you get is this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Teachin…

This will work for any subject category. Give it a try and good luck

I like that approach better than just saying "Google it" or "Look online".

What is a good foreign language learning software?

We Answered:

Sadly, NONE of the computer courses can ever replace real language lessons with human tutors. ALL computer things are more or less incomplete!
