Dd1 has just started Y7 - she has never learnt a second language. In French they are expected to learn 20 words, spelling and pronunciation, per week. Less than 70% accurate and they get a detention. Trouble is dd1 just cannot learn it :-( last week I spent an hour (in 15 min blocks) physically sitting with her and writing them out, she spent an hour on her own writing them out and I spent all week using the vocab words as often as I could making her verbally use the vocab. She got 4/20 right and has a detention on Thursday. Any tips on how to help her learn? Shes going to have a weekly detention at this rate
