The Phase-6 is a German vocabulary trainer we used
at home a few years ago, a very good one, I must say. First, I used the program
to learn English vocabulary, later it was used by my children who started to
study French and German at school. It´s a very handy tool and it works very
well. The learning process consist in repeating vocabulary six times (simply said),
hence the name.
Two months ago, I considered to start using this
method again, for English and for German as well. Since I use the computer program „englishme“
already, and there is also very much working
and reading things on computer or smart phone display during the covid pandemic, I decided against the program. But the system
works very well, so I thought it over carefully and made six paper envelopes
and put vocabulary cards into them and learned, following the old familiar system.
What is the best time to learn? In the train on
the way to and from Prague of course!
The paper envelopes work well in the office or at home, but they are very
clumsy to transport them in the backpack together with lunch and other
necessities. The logical next step was
creating a fabric pocket for the vocabulary!
I chose some jelly strips from Moda Grunge
fabrics and made six pockets. The numbers wouldn't have been
needed, but I had stamped them there, just for fun. The
left side for English, the right side for German.
What fabric for the outside? It was
a difficult choice.
I followed the recommendation of my husband and chose a red
beauty from my Jinny Beyer stash.
I couldn´t resist and added an appliqué cat…
This week I´m in home office, unfortunatelly, my
envelopes are waiting in the Prague office. The practical test will not be until
next week...
Happy stitching!
