Ex. 2: Memory training edit

Write out the Breton words, section by section as follows:

  • Have 2 columns, clearly separated, and write Breton and English.
  • Then cover up one column (eg. English) with paper and write the corresponding words on the paper.

  • Repeat all this after an interval, the more you do it the easier you will remember the words.
