Week 16 Vocabulary Review

Someone wrote and asked me to refocus this Wednesday vocabulary review on specific sayings rather than on vocabulary items; they told me it's getting harder to remember the sayings from the earlier weeks, which makes sense: there have now been over 300 sayings! So now the review slideshow includes the slide with the English translations, plus the links back to the original posts. The slideshow contains sayings at random from all the previous weeks.

Here's how the new slideshow works: 

Fill-in-the-blank. First there is a saying with a word (or words) blanked out. See if you can supply the missing word(s). Maybe you can do that without looking at the English, but the English is there for you as a prompt if needed.

Check. Then there is a slide to let you check your answer. 

Cat! Next, to reinforce the saying with a visual, there is a cat slide next.

Repeat. Then there is one final slide, without the English; use that final slide to repeat the saying out loud (there is the pronunciation prompt to help with the word stress at the bottom of the slide). Reading out loud is the key; that's how you will remember both the vocabulary and also the sayings themselves.

I hope this new kind of review slideshow will be useful, and that it will be fun too (because... cats!).

So, here's a link to the full-size show. And remember, you can click on the English translation to access the original blog post with notes for the saying.

I hope that will be a good review! And I'll be back tomorrow with more sayings. And more cats. :-)

Meanwhile, here's a random cat:
