Get Better at Irregular Verbs in 2 Minutes.

Can you really revise and learn new irregular verbs in as little as two minutes?

If you are like me you find you don’t really like studying lists of verbs in the classic way( that is printed on a sheet of paper in an endless list for you to memorize). Plus there’s no connection to how you use them with English in the real world. And it’s usually not mind stimulating or fun.

I have two suggestions for how I get learners to be motivated to do this:

1) instead of the hard slog of going through it line by line why not just study it by playing a game? I’ll explain what I mean. There’s a free game online called the Macmillan verb wheel. The idea is you try to get a high score by correctly guessing the right verb and tenses each time the computer randomly chooses a verb for you ( see more here in free tools)

Using games help to keep you learning without feeling like an effort therefore keeping you motivated to reach your English learning goals.

2) Here is a second way:

Sometimes mixing music and English learning can give surprisingly useful results:

You listen to someone sing the irregular verbs and then try it yourself. This is a physical exercise that can keep you motivated as you can see results as soon as you begin to learn the song. Of course if there are verbs you don’t know you can always find out their meaning from a dictionary then use them.

Fluency MC does great rap, showing an example of how you can listen to verbs and repeat them yourself.

First you watch a famous video like this:
