This crap to people work with vocabulary tools and the power with in our own voice to open our genius
mind or close it the following technique can be used for spelling vocabulary words or foreign languages
or any vocabulary you want to remember in any subject.
Here is the technique we will use an English word that most people do not know.
So you may want to take a colored paper of your choice and a colored pen and on the colored paper write
the following word.
But there some.
And it's spelled B O U L A V E R S C M C and T.
I purposely took a word that is English that almost no one has heard of and started experimenting to
see if people could learn to spell this word easily and quickly.
And I have tried it all the way down to the age 6 with phenomenal results.
So if you have this word on your paper.
B O U L C D E R S E M in t.
No pronounced Boola very small and you can hear it's a French word.
Now how in heaven's name did French get into the English language.
Well one reason is that about 1000 A.D. the French decided they wanted more territory and they crossed
the English Channel to Britain and out of war and they won.
So they thought they conquered England and they did for the court system.
So naturally in the courts everybody is speaking French but in the country the English were stubborn
and said we're not speaking French.
And they kept the English language.
But many French words have gotten into the English language such as bank boutique mystique and more
so now that we have the etymology of that word.
Let's take this word apart and use this technique.
First we're going to divide it into syllables you see below you and I'll put a dot here to divide it
into syllables.
L e another dot V E R S E N T and T.
And then we'll look inside the word to see what letters what words we can find within the word.
You can see the word lover or drop the L and you see the word birth.
Over here is the word man overhears the word cement but with an S and not a C and as you look at this
you can rewrite it if you choose b o u and you notice that the B is higher up.
This is even l e the L is higher nothing below V E R S B and D and T.
By this time you will notice that there are four E's and here you create a sort of rhythm L E V E R
S E M E and T.
Then we spell the word aloud slowly.
B O U L E V E R S E S T and T.
Then we're going to go backwards.
Now some people say why backwards to make sure that we saw the word clearly forwards and it uses a whole
different part of the brain.
We do everything in life forward.
Seldom do we go backwards.
How do you go backwards.
Well in your mind you think about the last syllable and you got an A and then you go backwards t an
in out then in your mind you see the syllable s and a loud backwards you go.
E s the e are mentally allowed r d the l e e d l b o u u o b.
By this time you may be wondering what does that word mean.
Well it actually means a mess chaos mess or chaos.
So you can create a sentence and say hi my room is full of there on today or there was a ball of earth
moon on the Boulevard today
as you're doing this you can look up because the brain remembers visual things looking up.
So you look up and you go B O U L E V E R S C M T and T and let an anchor into your brain or parents
if you're working with children you can take Scrabble scrabble letters and put colored paper of their
choice underneath the scrabble letters and then kinesthetically they get to reach for the letters and
spell out the word on the piece of paper.
Now what happens with this this technique really anchors the word deep.
So you've spelt the word forwards again looking at high letters and low letters those that go below
the lines like p's and q's and you use the word in a sentence as we did before.
My room isn't Bolivar's among And yes it took us two to three minutes or more to complete this process
the tedious copying of spelling words over and over again.
The long term memory is there always remember the brain must have a clear picture for long term memory.
So if we took the time to put in a very clear picture in the very beginning rather than using rote meaningless
repetition success is inevitable even if we did this word ten times because we will be sharing with
you later.
The magic of tan you may come up with different techniques that work for you.
Again the important thing is re Salt's as long as you can learn easily and remember easily do what works.
I had a sophomore boy in high school come one day for help in learning German.
Now I don't know German.
He was getting A's in every subject except he was getting D's in German.
I shared this technique with him that we just did over here.
He easily learned two hundred German words in one week and raised two German grades two and a
even six year olds can learn this word.
I taught this word to a 6 year old boy just to see if it was possible because everybody would say you
can't do it.
The word took it apart like we did here we spelled it forwards and backwards and made up sentences with
it.
And told him why it was there six months later he walked in put his hands on his hips and said Donna
I can still spell Bullah very smart.
How do you want it forwards or backwards.
I grinned and looked at him and said backwards and so he promptly spelled it backwards and then said
Now I will spell it four words for you.
And then he used it in a sentence.
So this word was not too difficult for a 6 year old.
Nothing is if we give it to them correctly spelling vocabulary and foreign languages can now be so much
easier when we give the brain what it needs in order to remember easily.
We put the words safely into the brain into long term memory and that's where we want our learning to
go.
