Teach yourself French for beginners
Ever been given a list of foreign words to learn? How did that go?
Teaching yourself a language can be easier
I am guessing not well….our brains aren’t wired to learn words as pieces of data from a list. That’s just a fact. When you think about it when we learned our first language, our parents didn’t give us lists to learn by the next morning. No we learned in a natural way – picking up the words we wanted to know, when we wanted to know them. It’s called Discovery Learning…and when you learn words with Discovery Learning guess what? You learn much faster – most people learn words ten times faster (you read that right). Check out this blog.
A couple of videos here: First one is a video of how KLOO uses Discovery Learning to help you teach yourself a foreign language. Second one is one of 16 games you can play with KLOO cards to learn with Discovery Learning…its a simple game called Squeeze Box. Teaching yourself French (in this instance) is so easy people often don’t realise how much they have learned until they play the game again…and then they are shocked at how many words have stuck. It’s a fun way to learn too.

TRANSCRIPT OF KLOO SQUEEZE BOX VIDEO
How to play Squeeze Box. This is a game to teach yourself French. It’s very simple, but requires skill and concentration.
You have to try and get all of the cards face-up into a single pile. Play starts with a deck of face-down cards. Cards are turned over to face up one at a time. Each card is placed to the right of the one played before. The aim is to get all the cards into one face-up pile. If the card is the same colour as any of the three cards to the left of it, it can be placed on top of that card, but only if you can translate both French words, like here with these blue cards.
But what about these red ones? If you can’t translate, keep playing and keep looking for clues. You can also just match off two cards while one card has the translation of the other.
That’s it. Have fun!
