* Prepare ahead you start. Before class, review the
vocabulary and make a note of whichever difficult words. Before

win, you will need to know these words. Here are some clues
for winning." or "I'm going to tell you 3 clues, are you
listening?"

be difficult, but later that, our experience is students
can't get enough!
