Don`t Forget to Review...So That You Won`t Forget!!!


Hey Guys,

Are you enjoying the nice weather we had this week?

It was very...um...蒸し暑い this week, wasn`t it?

Do you remember the English for 蒸し暑い?

If not, then you need to REVIEW!!


As you know, I always talk about the power of review. Just spending 15-30 minutes everyday reviewing your flashcards will have a HUGH effect on your English.


Have a look at this article...

...which is about the FORGETTING CURVE.


( you don`t need to read the article, but at least have a look at the graph).


The graph is basically showing you how much better you can remember something if you review it, versus if you don`t.


So...don`t forget to review!





Tip of the Tongue



Recently, I saw this video about those tricky words that you just can`t seem to remember.

Have a look, and if you find it difficult to understand, let`s talk about it in class.

Oh, and if you don`t know the expression "Tip of the Tongue", ask me!
