For A1 vocabulary, the main challenge is simply remembering the new words. Try to connect the English word with a picture of the animal.
- Do not confuse bee (the insect that makes honey) with bear (a large, furry animal).
- Remember that mosquito is a specific type of flying insect, often known for biting.
- Practice saying each word aloud to get the pronunciation right. For example, the 'g' in gorilla is like the 'g' in 'go'.
