Personal qualities

Personal qualities mind map

Students often find the vocabulary for personal qualities really difficult to learn and understand. Here I try to present the vocabulary in a slightly different way and give the students a chance to practise the personal qualities in games.

Start your learning with this video. Repeat the words with a native (American) speaker and read the definitions of the words.

    This one is created with Inspiration. But I will probably stay with Maple Mind. It is cheaper and does the same job. Glad you like it.

  6. Hi there, I noticed that most of the vocab there are adjectives, and spotted that you have nouns ("Optimist" & "Pessimist"). Probably it's nothing, but just wanted to check on that.
