The Methodology

• Captivating storytelling: At every lesson's start is a story featuring everyday situations wherein each word of day takes center stage.
• Vocabulary enrichment: For instance, replacing common terms like 'funny' with 'humorous', transforms simple sentences into enriched communication.

Once introduced, words can be written out visibly to initiate purposeful discussions revolving around their meaning and possible synonym alternatives.
