Description
A new language-learning technique
Trick your brain into accepting Portuguese words as "English". We pretend that Portuguese words are actually newly-coined English words.
It's technique is called "Diglot Weave".
Evidence
One University in Iran experimented with the method on some high schoolers learning English. Half the kids learned using standard methods, and the other half used the Diglot Weave method. Afterwards, they all sat a test. What were the results?
The kids taught the usual way scored 12 out of 25, but the kids taught with the Diglot Weave method scored nearly double - 23 out of 25!
Also, some kindergartens in China use a variation of the method they invented to teach children English. The kids enjoy it much more than the usual approaches, and the teachers report better results overall. Parents also appreciate it, because they see their children learning English much more quickly and easily than before.
Want to try it?
This book includes over 80 Portuguese conjunctions and prepositions like "and", "with", "for", and so on - the little words vital to creating sentences. We mix them into fully English sentences. By the end of the book, your brain should be tricked into thinking that these words are "English".
