Miss Morgan’s tips for vocabulary learning
Copy words correctly in your book!When you are taking notes in lessons make sure you copy the words down
with accurate spellings, including genders and accents.
Tip 1
Ask your parents/guardians/siblings
/friends to test you.
Tip 2
Look, cover, write, checkPractise spelling the words until you have remembered
them off by heart.
Tip 3
Online gamesUse the games on my blog to help you learn. If the vocab
you need isn’t there, just tell me/email me.
Tip 4
Cognates
Look out for cognates. Some words might be spelt exactly
the same/similar to the English so they will be easier to learn!un village – a village (French)
Tip 5
8 lists
Fold a sheet of paper into 8 sections. Write the list of French/Spanish words. Then in the second column write the English. Cover the first column and
translate the English words back into French/Spanish in the third column.
Tip 6
LinksMake up links between the
French/Spanish and the English. These can be as silly
as you like. E.G. La mesa – table (Spanish)
…the table is a mess
