Shades of Meaning

English often has several words for one feeling, from a little to a lot. Here are the words from our session. Three short exercises. Take your time, and say every word out loud.

1

Turn up the volume

Put the words in order, from weak to strong. Tap the words one by one. Tap a word in a box to remove it.

2

Find the right word

Choose the word that fits best. After each answer you see a short explanation.

3

From our conversation

You needed these words when you talked about your weekend. Tap a German word, then the matching English word.
