Vocab Builder: Use a New Word
Hello, all
. I thought I'd start this game as way for us to introduce new words to our vocabulary and actively apply it. There are plenty options to choose from in the dictionary here. Have fun!
Vocab Builder: Use a new word that you've never used before
Rules:
1.I will start by writing a sentence in Spanish using a word that is new to me.
2.Then, the next person will use my word in a sentence and a new word in another sentence.
3.The next person will use the previous person's new word and one of their own.
4.And continue like
that (2 sentences a person)!
Simple, right?
Please include definitions! (Pictures are welcome as well as translations
)
