Keep it Simple


Each day ask a member of the family, a friend or a work colleague to suggest their four most important words. By the end of the week, you could have added up to 28 really useful communicative words to your vocabulary.

In a fortnight, you could have 56 new words , 84 in less than a month.

Each week work out how many phrases, sentences or simply meaningful utterances you could make with the chosen words.

You could well surprise yourself with how much you could say or do in a short time.

It could well be the spur to start you from the plateau onto yet another learning curve.
