hello all! i have been blessed to have a student who is so incredibly into english she’s handwriting her own dictionary. (she’s in elementary school!) she’s very driven and laughably more advanced than her peers.
she asked me for resources to “learn new english words”. i told her to browse youtube (assuming she had specific interests) and that duolingo existed – before i knew she specifically wanted vocabulary.
are there any sites or apps like freerice.com that would be suited to a beginner/esl student? i want it to be something fun instead of telling her to read a picture dictionary, given how driven she is. i want her to maintain (or even increase!) her interest and enthusiasm for english learning.
(for those who don’t teach at public elementary schools – there is virtually NO grammar focus whatsoever, and only a couple of basic sentence structures to build. i like/i want/i can, etc. so i’m fine and preferring to give her vocab-only resources rather than something that would be more grammar or advanced, though she IS advanced.)
