1. To start, focus on the main part of the drawing. Look carefully at this picture.

This picture shows… On this picture…
There is/there are… Here there…

Use the following phrases:

In the foreground/in the background… In the foreground/background...
On the right/on the left… Right left…

3. Try to use your imagination when making assumptions.
She could be listening to some energetic rock music, because she looks happy and engaged. Maybe she is listening to the best album of her favorite singer and is singing along. By the way, it can be even not music at all. She could be listening to a humorous audiobook that makes her smile. She may be listening to an audiocourse, learning a foreign language and trying to repeat the phrase after the speaker. Perhaps the girl listens to energetic rock music because she seems happy and engrossed in the music. Maybe she's listening to her favorite artist's best album and singing along.

She must/can’t/might be… She should/can't/maybe...

4. You can also use stories from your life. Use own stories and examples from life - this will give you the opportunity to speak more. People are much more comfortable talking about their own experiences, so talk about yourself! For example, when describing a girl with headphones, you could say:
I can see an engagement ring on her finger. Perhaps she has just got engaged and is trying to choose the song for the first dance with her fiancé during the wedding ceremony. I know how hard it can be because I’m getting married in August and I’ve been listening to various songs, trying to choose those to be played on my wedding day. I fall asleep with my headphones on and spend my working hours in a similar pair of headphones, not to irritate my fellow-workers with my music. She wears a ring on her finger, given in honor of her engagement. Perhaps she recently got engaged and is choosing a song for the newlyweds' first dance during the wedding ceremony. I know from myself how difficult it is, because I’m getting married in August and I listen to different songs, trying to choose the ones that will be played at my wedding. I fall asleep with headphones on and sit in headphones at work so as not to bother my colleagues with my music.

Now do you understand what we mean? Using examples based on my own life experience, in the process of describing a picture, for example, of a young girl with headphones, you will feel more calm and comfortable.

It's best to think about Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? shown in each picture.

What English classes do you think will be more effective for children - serious or entertaining? 100% the second option will be correct. It is important to remember that it is difficult to get children to study. They need to want it themselves. That is why, in order for English lessons to give results and not be wasted, it is necessary to develop special technique, according to which the child will learn. English in pictures for children is a win-win solution when you are looking for The right way. Psychologists and methodologists have proven that the use of visual materials in the learning process increases the effectiveness of the result significantly. And if such materials also have colorful pictures, then you can be completely sure that the children will remember the lesson. And for a long time.

Let's start with simple question: what is he like - English language for children? First of all, you need to remember that English for children is different from English for adults. If the baby goes to first grade, then the load should be minimal. It will be difficult for a child to learn everything at once. Moreover, we recommend starting classes with the most simple themes, such as, for example, stationery, household items, vegetables, fruits, etc. Start with words that are used in everyday life and attach an image to each of them. So. Here are the English words with pictures and Russian translation:

Stationery

	A pen	Pen
		Paper
		Notebook
		Notebook
		Ruler
		Rubber
		Pencil

Vegetables and greens

		Cabbage
		Carrot
		Potato
		Radish
		Broccoli
	A beetroot (a beet)	Beet
		Parsley
		Dill
		Onion
		Cauliflower
		Tomato
		Cucumber
	A garlic	Garlic

Fruits and berries

		Grape
		Apple
		Peach
		Quince
		Pear
	A grapefruit (pomelo)	Grapefruit
		Apricot
		Lemon
		Lime
		Orange
		Plum
		Cherry
		Raspberries
		Strawberry
		Currant

Note! There are fruits and vegetables that have several names, or rather, one name has several synonyms, for example:

Grapefruit –> A grapefruit or a pomelo
Beetroot –> A beetroot or simply a beet
Sugar beet -> A sugar beet or a white beet.

Please also note that you can select several synonyms with pictures for one word, for example, take the word grapes =>

A grape -> directly one grape berry
A bunch of grapes (a cluster of grapes) -> bunch of grapes
A grapevine -> grapevine
A sour grape -> sour grapes (can be used as an adjective or as a grape variety).

Using one-word phrases, you can significantly improve your knowledge and expand your children’s attention span. When one comes out of the other, classes become easier and more effective, and most importantly – so much fun!

On a note! We recommend teaching children in groups of several people. 3-5 children in a group will be enough. When passion overcomes one, it automatically spreads to others. The guys will want to keep up with their friends, to show that they know as well as others.

But! No need to join the group too a large number of children. This is especially a bad approach for beginners, because attention will be paid to two or three, and everyone else will be free listeners. Remember: attention should be paid to each baby!

Cutlery and dishes (KITCHEN section)

		Fork
		Spoon
		Plate
		Tray
	A pan	Pot
		Kettle
	A tea-set (a tea service)	Tea-set
		Dish
		Knife

Note! There are words from the KITCHEN section that have several synonyms. Let's look at some of them:

A pan -> a saucepan, but also a frying pan, a tray, a tray and even a baking sheet
A cooker -> pan (any type of metal utensil suitable for cooking) (not a person who cooks, a cook in English cook (as a verb to cook) or chef (chef)).
A casserole -> saucepan
A pot -> a saucepan, but also a kettle, a pot and even a kettle
A stewpot -> pan (saucepan)
A stewpan -> saucepan (saucepan)
A saucepan -> pan.

Bonus lesson: Why is the name of the pan what it is? Draw children's attention to the fact that one word can be derived from several others that are interconnected with it. For example, stewpot = to stew + a pot. This means => stew (cook, cook) + pan.

Another interesting name pans – casserole. The word means ‘casserole’, but at the same time it also means ‘pan’. In English there is such interesting fact that sometimes one concept replaces another, that is, the name of a dish in in this case the dishes are named. It's the same with the word to stew. By itself stew(as a verb) means cook, simmer, but the word can also be used as a subject – stew, stew. In this case stew+pot = a stewpot. And there are many such examples.

To show the diversity of the English language and its wealth of synonyms, let’s give another example - the word kettle => a teapot, a teakettle or even just a pot, which can also mean ‘saucepan’, ‘cooking pot’.

Important! This or that name is used depending on the specific region, situation or customs. It is also important to take into account dialectical features. One language - many dialects. But we won’t talk about that now. You just need to remember that when translating one word can have several meanings. There is no need to be tied to one option. It is advisable to know a few. This way, children will be able to learn to think on a larger scale and prepare themselves for a new, more complex stage of learning English.

For example, to interest the children, you can ask one to show something, and the other to guess, that is, to name the verb. For example, one child laughs, and the other says - tolaugh, etc. This will make it really interesting and exciting for children. At the same time, the result will be remembered for a long time. You'll see, like this interesting activities Children will have fun learning English!

English grammar can be fun! Moreover, you can vary the tasks: today we look at the verb in the picture, tomorrow - some subject to use the article. Don't let activities be the same.

Not with superglue, of course, but with tape. Attach the photo to the refrigerator, desktop, in front of the front door, near the mirror, near the bathroom, etc. Photos should be constantly in front of your eyes.

Carry small cards in your pockets

When leaving home, knowledge should stay with the kids! You can repeat the lesson on the way to school, walking in the park or standing in line at the store.

Divide large pictures into several small ones

There is no need to force your child to learn everything at once. There will be no effect. Knowledge needs to be presented in small portions, and preferably accompanied by something sweet J This means that the child needs to be encouraged: for every card studied in English - a piece of candy. The result will not be long in coming!

On a note! You may ask: what about pronunciation? It is too important factor. Correct pronunciation can be studied using transcription. If children do not yet know how to read it, you can use audio files. After listening, the child must repeat, preferably several times.

You write down a word, its transcription and translation onto a certain picture-story, or download ready-made pictures from the Internet, divided by topic: plants, fruits, numbers, colors, animals, etc.

However, you will make the process of memorizing words much easier for yourself if you make pictures yourself. Buy colored cardboard and special thick paper.
