This time, we will use the lyrics of "💿【15】Around and Around" featured in DWE Blue and the contents of the corresponding "📙BOOK2" as seeds to cultivate the seeds of learning "English at Home"📝🌱

1 Introduction of the venue

This song is about Huey, Dewey and Louie chasing Chip and Dale around the room.

This song can be sung when there is a scene where something is playing tag or spinning around.

About six months after starting DWE, Yume was singing this song while watching the fishing line on the fishing rod spin around.

2 Learn grammar

🌸Prepositions of location🌸

Example 1)
around the room

🌸inversion method🌸

Example 2)
Around they go! They go around!

🌸comparative🌸

Example 3)
Faster!

(Quoted from DWE's "Sing Along!")

3 Column ~Comparatives①~

This song continues from "Look! where? Over There!" by using prepositions that indicate location.

What I want you to work on here is"Deep Dive into Prepositions"And, Faster!"Comparative", repeatedly appearing"Phrases using around"is.

"Around" appears in both the play-along and the song "Around the chair," so try using them together to deepen the image of the word and help it stick in your mind.

Children's brains "connect words to form images"Gain experienceUsing this experience, children gradually move away from the DWE teaching materials and start reading picture books, watching YouTube, movies and anime (while speaking English, of course!), and they begin to absorb and solidify the images of English words and phrases like a snowball effect.
This is exactly the same process as how Japanese people try to understand the meaning of Japanese words.

This timecomparativeWe will explain about

Comparatives are a form of English grammar that uses "adjective/adverb er (comparative) than" or "more adjective/adverb than" to create expressions that compare two things, such as "than..." (When comparing two things like this, you need to change the form of the adjective or adverb you are using by adding "er" or similar. This changed form of the adjective or adverb is called the "comparative.").

In this song, Chip and Dale run faster and faster, so it's a chronological comparison.

There are three ways to form comparatives:

① Add "er" to the end of the word

②Put "more" before the word you want to make comparative

*"More" is an adverb that means "more" or "than."
In the scene in BOOK 2 where Mickey becomes a magician,
It also appears in the expression "Cats and cats and more cats!"
In this case, the nuance is more than comparatively more, so there is no need for than.

3. Other (irregular changes)

Here is a summary of the irregular comparative forms:

Playing tag (Osunusan)

I think this song is the number one song that you can sing without looking at the lyrics 🙌 lol
"Around and Around"It's a very simple and catchy song!
The catchy repetition is a notable feature of the DWE song lyrics.
Anyway, let's sing, spin around, chase and have fun!
I think our family recreated this a lot at first.

You can also recreate the chase using figurines and dolls!
