Complete guide – Learn English grammar

    In the first part I have explained you what vocabulary you should study and how you should do it. The next logical step is “learning grammar”. You know vocabulary and you want to create sentences and communicate with others; that’s why you need grammar.

        369 cards divided into 17 categories for free download

        I have been teaching English for a kindergarten since 2010. My students are 3 to 6 years old and I have to teach them a lot of vocabulary. Besides vocabulary they have to be able to answer to simple questions such as: “What animal do you like?”, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, “What’s your favorite food?”, etc. The best way to teach vocabulary is using cards.

        I have created sets of cards according to the kindergarten requirements and I offer them for download for those who use cards in their classroom. I have divided the cards into the following categories: animals, Christmas, clothing, family, feelings, food (and drinks), fruits, funny pictures, jobs (and occupations), nature, opposites, shapes, sports (and actions), things (things in a house), things for school, transportation, vegetables. In total, there are 369 cards, all of them on white background. ( … read the full article)

I put together a list of 18 things that I should and I shouldn’t DO.

          1. Be tough at the beginning
