Today I want to introduce you to a tool that isn’t new, and maybe not very famous but definitely practical: https://babadum.com/.
It is built on a simple but powerful premise: you don’t need a dictionary to become fluent; you need a foundation. Research suggests that mastering the first 1000 words of a language allows you to understand nearly 80% of everyday communication. Babadum helps you hit that milestone through pure, visual play.
Why it works:
Visual Association: It bypasses your native language. Instead of translating, you connect English sounds directly to beautiful, quirky illustrations. This is how you stop „thinking in Polish/Spanish” and start thinking in English.
Five Game Modes: Whether you want to practice spelling, listening, or just quick recognition, there’s a mode for your mood.
Zero Friction: No accounts, no passwords, and no „daily streaks” that make you feel guilty. Just open the site and start learning.
Use Babadum for 15 minutes a day to sharpen your reflexes, and then come to class so we can put those 1000 words into action!
Have fun!
Your Teacher:)
