Jak se lépe učit

Každý z nás si při učení cizího jazyka nejednou stěžoval, že mu nová slovíčka  ne a ne lézt do hlavy. Pro lepší zapamatování vyzkoušejte tuhle jednoduchou fintu: představte si nové slovo nebo slovní spojení vizuálně a pak si ho dosaďte do nějakého příběhu, který celkový význam smysluplně dotváří a dodává mu i emocionální náboj. Právě emoce nám nejvíce pomáhají, abychom si slovní spojení udrželi v paměti. Pokud si budeme příběh promítat v hlavě jako film, slovíčka už se nám z hlavy nevykouří.

V jazykové škole Tandem přistupují lektoři ke studentům všech úrovní, včetně začátečníků, tak, aby jim už od základů pomohli pochopit, jak slova, která používají, fungují ve svém kontextu. Studenti si pak v jazykové zahrádce své hlavy snáze připraví půdu, v níž nová slovní zásoba rychle zapustí kořeny.

Příběh, který si můžete přečíst, je určen pro studenty- začátečníky. Je protkána slovesem FALL (a jeho odvozeninami), které však zdaleka není jediným jazykovým chameleonem, jenž mění odstíny podle toho, v jakém kontextu se nachází. Jeho podstata však zůstává stejná – vždy má souvislost s padáním. Napadnou vás další taková slova? 

FALL

Snowdonia is a beautiful country. There are wild horses, high mountains with waterfalls and rocks just near the sea. The rocks are really dangerous and when darkness falls and people can’t see the moon, they can fall down from the rocks.   

Autumn is a perfect time for trips. The trees in the forests are red, yellow and orange, and the leaves fall.

One day in October Joe went for a trip to the mountains. He was a brave guy (chlap).He took a sandwich and left his house. He walked and walked, just with his backpack, and in the afternoon, after many kilometres, he was tired. Joe fell asleep under a tree.

He slept for an hour and darkness fell. Suddenly, a cone (šiška) fell on him and woke him up. It was a wonderful quiet night and stars fell.

Joe went home, but he didn’t have a torch and he lost his way. Joe had a really bad day. He fell into the river. He climbed the tree, but he fell down from the tree.

Then he walked and walked, but he was tired and fell on the ground.

Before he fell asleep again, he heard a strange noise. The first snowflake fell on his face, but he didn’t feel it. Another snowflake   fell on his hair. The night was cold, because the temperature fell. Joe had a dream. A horrible dream. In his dream he saw his dead friends. One year ago one of his friends fell in battle (v boji) and one of his friends fell down from the rocks.

In the morning Joe woke up and saw a beautiful waterfall. Somebody cried for help.

There was a woman in the lake near the waterfall. She fell into the lake and needed help. When Joe saw her, he jumped into the lake and rescued her.

The water was cold and when he came to the village, he fell ill.

Joe stayed in bed for some days and  he sometimes  watched TV. Good news!! The government fell. And the prices fell, too. Now everything was cheap- the food, the houses, the concerts, the ski passes. When Joe was ill, the days were not unhappy for him. The “waterfall lady” came to see him and looked after him. She was really nice. They talked and talked and suddenly, he fell in love with her……..
