Learn Irregular Plurals

Смеётся бойкий карапуз,
Во рту один всего лишь TOOTH.
Но скоро baby подрастет,
И TEETH придут в беззубый рот.
 ***
Дела всё в гору не идут:
Опять ударил больно FOOT!
Помазал мазью – не болит!
Ура! Здоровы мои FEET!
***
Идёт мужчина – это MAN,
Он титулованный спортсмен!
Ему навстречу джентльмен,
Уже их двое – значит, MEN.
***
Вошла учительница в класс,
А на неё глазеет MOUSE!
И teacher как давай вопить!
Не хочет, видно, MICE учить…
***
Когда один ребенок, CHILD,
Разбил вдруг что-то невзначай,
Не так уж страшно и обидно.

А вот возьмись за дело CHILDREN

CALL. Brainscape: digital flash cards are the future of studying

Brainscape MUST HAVE

I came across this app and now would like to recommend it.

https://www.brainscape.com/ 


Digital flashcards, like those in Brainscape, are now able to accomplish so much more than the dreaded paper flashcard has ever offered to us. Rather than being “drill & kill” devices that simply allow us to memorize trivial facts, today’s digital flashcards can support any type of media, of any length, of any level of interactivity, on any web or mobile device, in conjunction with any type of broader educational setting. Digital flashcards can also be made adaptive, so that they are automatically repeated in intervals that are customized for the learner’s own pace of learning, thereby accelerating memory retention. For the next millennium, the word “flashcard” does not have to mean “trivial fact”, but rather, it can mean “the smallest unit of knowledge that can be efficiently studied, shared, or tied across various curricula.”

Brainscape is a web & mobile education platform that helps you learn anything faster, using cognitive science. Join the millions of students, teachers, language learners, test-takers, and corporate trainees who are doubling their learning results

You can create your own subject, decks and cards. You can learn a lot of subjects which are already in the app. To my mind, it's one of the best apps and web-sites for e-learning today.

Can + active vocabulary


I can sing, I can dance,

I can run very fast.

I can play basketball,

I can spin every ball.

I can drive father’s car,

I can play the guitar.

I can swim, I can dive

And I can enjoy my life!
