Tell a Story with Vocab

When you are trying to learn and remember new words in English, you want to make those words come to life.   One way to do that is create a story with your new vocabulary.    This will help you remember the new words better.  This was one of the great suggestions from the last lecture on Vocab Study.

Your stories don't have to be long or complicated.

Recently, I discovered a fun website that can help you create your own video stories.  It's called Go! Animate.    It's a free website that allows you to make animated videos.  It's easy to use and fun.  Here is a sample video I created in just a few minutes.  Using the Quick Video Maker option, I picked from preset characters, typed in a few lines of dialog and pressed publish.  The program even created the voices to go along with the characters  (or you can record your own voice, if you prefer.)

Here is the video I created...

Now it's your turn!  Write a story or create your own video using English words that you are trying to learn and remember.  And don't forget to share them with everyone here at Fastfoodenglish.blogspot.com.
