Si la palabra nueva te resulta familiar solo se puede deber a dos motivos: es una palabra de origen latino o la has escuchado en los medios de comunicación. Recuerda: Dado que el inglés es un idioma de origen germánico, muy alejado del español, no se asimila un nuevo sonido hasta que no se repite unas diez, a veinte veces, hablando. Algunas palabras incluso tienen que llegar a repetirse unas cien veces para que se queden grabadas en la memoria. 2) Hay, al menos, dos tipos de vocabularios. El vocabulario del inglés hablado y el del inglés escrito. Esto quiere decir que hay palabras que lees pero que no se suelen usar en inglés hablado y palabras que escuchas pero que no se suelen escribir. Las palabras de inglés hablado son las más difíciles de aprender porque una gran mayoría no son de origen latino; son "phrasal verbs", o palabras de origen germánico. Recuerda: Es mejor empezar aprendiendo el vocabulario del inglés hablado ya que será el que más vas a necesitar en el día a día. 3) El número de palabras que hay que aprender para hablar con cierta fluidez ronda las tres mil. Aprender tres mil palabras es difícil y toma tiempo, por tanto, necesitaremos determinación a prueba de fuego. Recuerda: Para incrementar tu vocabulario, determinación a prueba de fuego; esto significa planificación y constancia. 4) Por cada palabra, hay que aprender "pronunciación" y "deletreo" (spelling). Si no sabes escribir una palabra, no importa demasiado porque siempre puedes buscarla en un diccionario, pero si no sabes pronunciarla realmente no sabes esa palabra. Recuerda: Solo puedes decir que sabes una palabra si puedes pronunciarla y colocarla correctamente en una frase. Consejo: Búscate ahora mismo alguien para hablar. ¿Cómo superaremos todas estas barreras? Sólo hay una manera: con mucha determinación y un buen método. Suponiendo que ya tenemos la determinación, veamos los métodos. Una de las mejores maneras de aprender vocabulario es viendo películas en inglés con subtítulos. Ves la imagen, escuchas cómo suena y ves cómo se escribe. Ni que decir tiene que otra fantástica manera de aprender vocabulario es cantando. Otra buena fórmula es hablando. Cuando no sabes cómo decir algo, la necesidad de comunicarte te lleva a buscar las palabras que necesitas para expresarte. Así que piensa durante el día frases en español y piensa cómo las dirías en inglés. Si tienes dudas pregunta a un profesor. Otra forma eficaz de incrementar tu vocabulario es leyendo. La gran ventaja de la lectura es que aprendes las nuevas palabras en un contexto determinado. La desventaja es que no sabes cómo suena la palabra. Por ello, la lectura debe combinarse siempre con prácticas de conversación. También son buenos los audio-books para leer y escuchar al mismo tiempo. Por último, se aprende vocabulario estudiando y echando mano de todos los recursos que tenemos a mano: diccionarios, internet,trucos para memorizar, juegos, crucigramas (crosswords), el ahorcado (hangman), leyendo las noticias en inglés, etc ¿Cómo recordar vocabulario nuevo? 1. Traduciendo la palabra a tu idioma. Por ejemplo: coche – car (inglés). 2. Describiéndola en español. Por ejemplo: vehículo con motor y de cuatro ruedas para transportar personas. 3. Haciendo un dibujo. 4. Poniéndola en contexto. Por ejemplo: Mi coche se ha estropeado y tengo que llevarlo al taller. 5. Colocándola dentro de un grupo léxico. Por ejemplo: coche, camión, moto, etc. (Fuente: http://elblogdelingles.blogspot.com.es/) 4 CLASSROOM LANGUAGE Cosas que podrías decir a tu profesor/a Lo siento, no lo entiendo ¿Perdón? ¿Qué quiere decir “chair”? ¿Cómo se dice “X” en inglés? ¿Cómo se deletrea eso? ¿Es esto correcto? ¿Cuál es el pasado de “go”? ¿Cómo se pronuncia esta palabra? ¿Qué tenemos que hacer exactamente?

It’s twelve fifteen / It’s a quarter past twelve Simple fractions are expressed by using ordinal numbers ¾ : three fourths ¾ : one third Decimal fractions are said with each figure separate.. we use a full stop, called “point”, not a comma, before the fraction. In phone numbers we say each figure separately. 0 is called / әu /. And if a number is repeated we say double. 6532209 : six five three double two o nine. 0.5 : nought point five Ordinal numbers are used for Kings and Queens. Henry VIII: Henry the Eighth The figure 0 is normally called nought in British English and Zero in American English.

The following rules can help you to decode the mysteries of English spelling. But remember, even the best rules have their exceptions. ADDING -ING/-ED Spelling Rule Just add -ing or -ed to the end of the base verb: work > working > worked, play > playing > played, open > opening > opened Exceptions: If the base verb ends in: do this: and add: For example: consonant + vowel + consonant and a stressed syllable double the final consonant -ing -ed stop > stopping > stopped begin > beginning tap > tapping > tapped But, for example: open > opening > opened (because no stress on last syllable of open) consonant + -e remove the -e -ing -ed phone > phoning > phoned dance > dancing > danced make > making rake > raking > raked dye > dying > dyed -ie change the -ie to -y -ing lie > lying die > dying nothing -d lie > lied die > died ADDING -S We add -s to words for two reasons: 1. to make plural nouns (boy > boys) 2. to form the 3rd person singular of the present simple tense (you work > he works) Spelling Rule Just add -s to the end of the word, for example: dog > dogs, play > plays, demand > demands Exceptions: If the word ends in: do this: and add: For example: -ch -s -sh -x -z nothing -es church > churches mass > masses brush > brushes fax > faxes box > boxes chintz > chintzes -f -fe remove the -f or -fe -ves wife > wives calf > calves except: beliefs, chiefs, dwarfs, griefs, gulfs, proofs, roofs consonant + -y remove the -y -ies spy > spies baby > babies Note: words that end in -o normally just add s, except: buffalo > buffaloes ; cargoes (or cargos) ; domino > dominoes ; echo > echoes ; go > goes ; grotto > grottoes halo > haloes ; hero > heroes ; mango > mangoes ; mosquito > mosquitoes ; motto > mottoes (or mottos) ; potato > potatoes ; tomato > tomatoes ; tornado > tornadoes ; torpedo > torpedoes ; veto > vetoes ; volcano > volcanoes 13 THE BEGINNING OR INTRODUCTION Good morning/afternoon everybody.
