It is free on a Google link so no need to enter any details!

How can you use these flashcards

1. Picture Vocab -Print off and just show the pictures and ask for the vocabulary.

2. Mix and Match- Print off and cut out and see if they can match the correct word with the correct picture.

3. Treasure hunt - finding the items in the house, or you can plant the pictures outside and they just have the names.

4. Memory - print them out a couple of times, play memory. They only get the pair if they can name the item in your language of choice.

Charlotte Mason reminds us:
Children learn languages naturally — through hearing, imitating, and being immersed in real, meaningful experiences. Just think about how you and your child learnt your mother tongue!
This is exactly why outdoor learning, stories, crafts and gentle exposure work so brilliantly . 🌿

🇩🇪 Charlotte Mason erinnert uns daran:
Kinder lernen Sprachen ganz natürlich – durch Hören, Nachahmen und durch echte Erlebnisse.
Darum funktionieren Lernen in der Natur, Geschichten, Basteln und sanfte Sprachimpulse so wunderbar. 🌿

Autumn Language Learning Notebook📗 As the leaves Autumn Language Learning Notebook📗

As the leaves are now golden and the days are shorter, autumn gives us a wonderful opportunity to slow down and reflect. 
For us it’s a season of observation — and that makes it the perfect time to begin (or re-start) your Language Learning Notebook.

For children learning English as a foreign language, a notebook isn’t just a workbook, it’s a space for creativity, discovery, and connection with language. And you know I love the Inspiration from outdoors.

My Autumn Word Tree 🌳 is a fabulous way to focus on Vocabulary and Spelling.

Draw a big tree and write new English words on each branch or leaf. Add small pictures or nature stickers to make it more decorative.

The new blog is coming and there will be several Notebook pages for you to either print or design yourself.
Autumn activities for language learning is now up Autumn activities for language learning is now up on the blog.
