New try with vocabulary for teenagers
|
|
Hello everybody,
Yesterday I tried to get help with vocabulary that may interest teenagers and only one person answered. I teach them a word every week which is not easy to find in text book, such as spooky, stingy, tacky, wacky, stroopy, etc.
HELP ME PLEASE!
THANKS IN ADVANCE

You should try teaching them Idioms - they are more fun than random words and useful too. You can teach them by topic - Idioms with colors, animals, sports etc. |
