Can language learning methods be fun AND effective?

Can language learning methods be fun AND effective?

If I am honest I still have to stop and think whenever confronted with such terms. If that's not enough to scare away a budding new learner, I don't know what is. [...]

I firstly ask them to make a sentence, as long as possible, with their seven cards - and explain that it's really easy, even if you're an absolute beginner....and then 10 seconds later, they do it. Their reaction? Genuine surprise and delight.

Learn French, Spanish or any language – the perfect New Year’s Resolution

You won't be stuck for choice in terms of what MFL resources you can use. Far from it. The problem is that many of these resources are poor and not based on sound language learning principles. Suffice to say that choosing the wrong language tools is akin to playing tennis with a golf club....almost impossible.

he main reason everyone comes to Malta is obvious, the weather. With beautiful crystal clear waters and an exciting nightlife, Malta is clearly a lot of fun. The famous Paceville district in St. Julians offers students a chance to unwind after a day of studying.

Language Games prove their value KLOO's Race to Madrid to learn Spanish A well designed game can simulate real life.

Countries don't want to gain experience of war by going to war - so they simulate it. Simulation is a fancy word for "make believe" (as my children call it). It's an elaborate game. Turning language into a game I have worked with games [...]
