llama (Spanish)
£2.00
Spanish spells three different words as 'llama', and only one of them is on fire.
An illustrated, black-and-white history of the word 'llama', in 13 large cards with one idea on each. It prints two ways: as a deck to laminate, punch and put on a ring, or as a single sheet to print and use as it is.
'llama' means 'flame', and also the strength of a feeling. The animal 'llama' and the 'llama' in 'se llama' are separate words. Spanish also kept a rarer twin, 'flama', which in parts of southern Spain means heavy summer heat.
13 large cards telling the word's story in black-and-white pictures, one idea to a card, each with a short caption
The twin word 'flama' and 'llamarada', a sudden blaze or blush
The word's history from Latin to modern Spanish, with a date at each stage the records allow
A pronunciation card for every Spanish word on the cards, and an IPA page
The English words that come from the same Latin root
A one-page summary sheet, a sources page and a short guide for the adult
Print the large cards, laminate them and clip them onto a ring for a deck to handle and shuffle back into order; a printer, a laminator and a ring are all you need, and you put it together yourself. Or print just the final page, which fits the whole story of the word on a single sheet with no laminating at all.
For personal use in home education and tutoring only.
Made first for my students, but it suits a wider range:
KS3 and KS4 learners of Spanish, including those working towards GCSE
Specialist tuition students, including those with dyslexia or a weak working memory
Home-educated children learning a language alongside a parent
Anyone who enjoys where words come from
Adults coming back to Spanish, or brushing up alongside a child
Duolingo users who want to know why the words look the way they do
Learners often know the animal first and are puzzled by the flame. The cards put all three on one hillside so the difference is seen, not just told.
Originally created to support my students' learning.
The same Latin word turns up in the other shops: 'flamme' in L'atelier des mots, 'Flamme' in Die Wortwerkbank and 'fiamma' in L'Officina Radice. The free English word cards on 'inflammable', 'flamboyant' and 'flamingo' are in The Wordhord.
Available now as a PDF download.
