Moving on

As the schools' blogs are moving to a new address, so is this blog. The new pages are still under construction but can be found here.

WELCOME!

Koulujen blogien muuttaessa uuteen osoitteeseen myös englannin sivut muuttavat. Uudet sivut ovat vielä työn alla, mutta löydät ne jo täältä.

TERVETULOA!

How are you? How do you feel?

Back to business

Tänään käynnistelimme jo Rahulassa englannin opiskelua ja starttasimme kakkosluokan kanssa enkkubussin kohti uusia seikkailuja.

Fun Apps for Practicing the Basics

I just discovered a couple of new fun iPad applications for practicing the basics in English: Lingo Teach and Pili Pop English. Lingo Teach is free and you can practise other languages besides English. Pili Pop gives you a free trial period of seven days.

Tutustuin juuri uusiin iPad sovelluksiin englannin kielen perussanoston harjoitteluun: Lingo Teach ja Pili Pop English. Lingo Teach on ilmainen ja sen avulla voit harjoitella myös muita kieliä kuin englantia. Pili Popia puolestaan voit kokeilla ilmaiseksi seitsemän päivän ajan.

A Quick Tip for Studying New Words

Although, I'm officially still on maternity leave, I haven't quite forgotten about you in the school world. Here's a good and easy way for studying vocabulary for those of you who can use either an iPad or a laptop/computer at home. And you might want to ask some advice from your parents... :)

Vaikka olenkin virallisesti äitiyslomalla en ole unohtanut teitä siellä koulumaailmassa. Tässä linkki hyvään ja helppoon välineeseen sanaston opiskelun tueksi. Tarvitset tosin joko padin tai (kannettavan) tietokoneen. Lisäksi tarvitset ehkä apua vanhemmilta... :)

Quizlet.

Kuinka muut ovat sitä käyttäneet ja esimerkki sanojen opettelusta.

Voit luoda Quizletiin omia sanalistojasi tai käyttää jo siellä valmiina olevia listoja. Löydät monia valmiita sanalistoja harjoitteluun esimerkiksi hakusanoilla All Stars / Wow! 5 / Wow! 6 (+kappale, jota haluat treenata).
Tässä muutama esimerkki:
All Stars 3
All Stars 4
Wow! 5
Wow! 6
