About Andrew Finan

Hello All

I am a games maker, a husband, a father of two gorgeous girls and a lover of learning languages. For me, languages are like the ultimate cryptic crossword puzzle - which I also love. My approach to learning is to turn it into a game. I remember languages at school were my toughest subjects - and lowest scoring. In fact, school would have put me off languages forever had it not been for marrying an Italian and wanting to be able to talk to my inlaws.

So I used my game making skills to create KLOO - games that help you to learn a language just by playing. That's right. No studying, no writing, no homework - just play and the language comes naturally.

You can use KLOO games to learn French, Spanish or Italian. You can use the techniques I share here to learn any language.

welcome
Congratulations on downloading this free re-
port on how to rapidly build vocabulary and 
welcome to a community that wants to learn 
(or teach) a language  but wants to do it the 
smart way!
Language is our passion, a force for good in 
so many ways, so we like to support language 
learners in their quest to learn a language.
6 methods of learning vocabulary
In this report, we assess 6 different approaches 
to acquiring foreign vocabulary. The approach 
you use will make a huge impact on your rate 
of learning. As you will see, the method you 
use is more important than your natural lan-
guage ability.
Proven or guesswork?
What we share in this download is complete-
ly researched, sourced and proven. We help 
you to cut through the noise, marketing, hype 
and guesswork so you don't need to guess any 
more.
We will share with you substantive research 
which clearly shows us what works  and what 
doesn't.
Prove it to yourself!
Towards the back of this report, we conduct 
a little, fun test, which you can try. By going 
through the process yourself, you will better 
understand how and why it works.
Then you just need to apply what you have 
learned and you'll have the full force of re-
search and smart thinking working for you.
 
introduction
You don't need to be Einstein to learn 
a second language.
But it helps if you have the right tools.

finding the right approach
If you are reading this, there is a good chance 
you have already tried different language re-
sources and have been left feeling disappoint-
ed. Finding the best way to learn a foreign lan-
guage is the right thing to do - but it's not easy. 
Perhaps you haven't made a purchase yet but 
are bewildered  by the choices available.
There is a lot to be confused about! There are 
CDs, talking toys, talking books, text books, au-
dio programs, DVDs, phrasebooks, vocabulary 
lists, grammar drills, software, magnetic read-
ers and much, much more. The education and 
edutainment markets are colossal multi-billion 
$ industries  and they have a vested interest-
ed in keeping it that way. Moreover, they have 
the resources and skills to mount slick market-
ing campaigns  all with the aim of getting you 
to part with your cash and buy their product. 
the inconvenient truth
The truth is that all of these language products 
cannot be equally effective. Indeed, research 
shows that many famous products hardly 
work at all. You can avoid the costly error of 
purchasing a dud by continuing to read this re-
port.
"Parents spend millions of dollars every year 
on classes, computer programs, and toys, all of 
which promise to help children learn a second 
language. But many of their best efforts (and in-
vestments) end in disappointment."
- the Bilingual edge, 2007, kendall king & 
alison Mackey
Vocabulary is key
The bedrock of learning a language is vocab-
ulary. Without it your ability to communicate is 
limited to pointing and hand gestures (and we 
can even get the meanings of those wrong!) So 
investing a little time in finding the best way to 
build vocabulary is worth its weight in goldso 
let's do that.

The first steps in language 
learning are crucial

- - - A report into vocabulary acquisition
your learning method is critical
Learning a foreign language depends much 
more on the tools you use than your innate 
"language ability". Use the wrong tools and you 
start believing that you don't have the neces-
sary talent to learn a language (when you ab-
solutely do). 
Conversely, use the right tools and systems 
and your natural language ability will shine. 
Think of a golfer trying to play golf with a crick-
et bat. Or a tennis player trying to play tennis 
with a football. With the wrong tools the innate 
skills of the player are completely nullified. 
That's how important the right tools are for you 
in learning a language. You have innate abili-
ty (I am presuming here that you are fluent in 
at least one language!). We, therefore, need to 
equip you with the right way to learn and the 
right resources.

dr. h. douglas Brown in his classic language acquisition book "Principles of Language Learning 
and Teaching" states that if you learn through lists you are likely to suffer from "systematic 
Forgetting"  a scary thought which roughly means "in one ear and out the other". Drawing on 
extensive research he summarizes as follows:
"In a meaningful process like second language learning, mindless repetition, imitation and 
other rote practices in the language classroom have no place. Too many languages are filled 
with rote and practice that centres on surface forms. Most cognitive psychologists agree 
that the frequency of stimuli and the number of times spent practicing a form are not highly 
important in learning an item."
- principles of language learning and teaching, pearson longman, 2006, 5th edition
dr. h. douglas Brown
Build vocabulary the no 1 way? no way!
Building vocabulary has always been an ordeal 
for many learners. Long lists of words...trying to 
somehow memorize them with brute force and 
repetition...but your mind starts swimming with 
all the information and you start to tire.... then 
you test yourself and find that the new informa-
tion just won't stick...so you repeat the process. 
You become more tired and before long, your 
mind starts to shut down.  You feel deflated, 
demotivated and just plain exhausted. 
So much effort and so little reward. 
Rote learning from lists is still the No 1 method 
for learning vocabulary and, believe it or not, it 
is the absolute worst. Put simply our brains are 
not computers into which we can pour random 
data. And even if we do manage to cram it in 
through attrition, it sits in the short term memo-
ry and will soon be forgotten.
Having condemned the number 1 method for building vocabulary as a system that "has no place" in 
language learning, the question remains - what should we use?
VocaB method 1: rehearSal
Treating words like data is overwhelming

dr Brown again draws his conclusion from extensive research:
"What is important is meaningfulness. It appears that contextualized, appropriate, meaningful 
communication in the second language seems to be: THE BEST POSSIBLE PRACTICE THE 
LEARNER OF A SECOND LANGUAGE COULD ENGAGE IN."
- principles of language learning and teaching, longman pearson, 2005, 5th edition
dr. h. douglas Brown
making it meaningful  putting words into context
I was struck by the news of a young man who is fluent in 11 languages. 
There is a lovely piece on him on the BBC where he does in fact speak 
in all 11 languages. It is significant that he said only one thing about 
what makes it easier for him to learn new languages and I wrote it 
down word for word. He stated: 
"The easiest way to learn is from context. I remember what I see or 
hear more easily than words written in a list"
There are strong scientific 
reasons 
for 
this phenomenon. 
Rote learning involves the mental storage of information that is 
random and unconnected with other bits of information. Its insular 
nature means it is unlikely to be retained  a bit like someone asking 
you to remember a random telephone number while they dial it. You 
hold on to the information to complete the task in hand. Within minutes, however, the information 
starts to slip away like grains of sand through your fingers.
Meaningful learning, on the other hand means connecting new information with information that is 
already known. This creates what is called a cognitive structure  in essence, the new information 
is "hooked" in by the known information. And the more hooks there are, the more "anchored" the 
new information becomes.
VocaB method 2: context
Context is a process that hooks the new vocabulary into your mind and on its own will dramatically 
improve your word retention. But there is something else too.
Context provides a cognitive structure to 
hook new words into the long-term memory

experience the eureka moment!
I am pretty sure that none of us had parents 
who, when we were very young, gave us lists 
of words to learn by next week. What generally 
happened is that we would point at something 
that we wanted to know the name of, such 
as a dog, and our parents said "Dog" and we 
repeated "Dog". This form of learning is called 
Discovery Learning. It is the natural way we 
learned new words when we were small and 
is the way our brains are hot wired to learn 
vocabulary.
Discovery Learning is essentially learning what 
we want to know, when we want to know it. It 
creates a "Ah ha!" moment or a "Eureka!" mo-
ment. In essence, when we discover something 
of importance to us, at that moment, our brains 
become hugely receptive - like sponges...and 
because it is deemed important the informa-
tion is valued and locked into the long term 
memory. 
We have all felt it, perhaps when trying to crack 
a crossword problem or trying to recall some-
one's name and it's extremely powerful. But 
how can we harness it?
creating discovery learning
The power of Discovery Learning is widely ac-
cepted as being a strong contributor to the way 
we learned our first language. The problem is in 
replicating Discovery Learning for the learner in 
a classroom setting. 
How do you create a scenario where the learn-
er feels an urge to learn useful foreign vocabu-
lary  and then, by chance, discovers it? 
It is difficult  but not impossible.

learning 1000% faster by 
combining the two most 
powerful methods of 
vocabulary building
When you combine the power of Discovery 
Learning with placing words in context and 
then wrap the whole experience inside a game, 
amazing things happen. 
Picking up words becomes automatic and al-
most effortless.
A Spanish Teacher completing a Case Study 
for the impact of KLOO in her classroom wrote 
this:
"After playing two or three times with the same 
deck students have almost magically learned all 
the vocabulary, not only to write and read each 
word correctly but also to pronounce it right." 
- veronica Fernandez sobejano, spanish 
teacher, Independent case study
kloo Is the onlY sYsteM that Incorpo-
rates contextual learnIng coMBIned 
wIth dIscoverY learnIng. 
KLOO was created by myself (an award win-
ning games designer) out of frustration with 
how slowly my own children were learning new 
words in Italian. All of the language resources I 
had bought for them were ineffective and they 
didn't enjoy them anyway.
To build KLOO, I looked at the underlying prin-
ciples of language learning and then embed-
ded them into the game. At first, we played with 
just scraps of paper around the kitchen table, 
but already I could sense that something pow-
erful was happening. They were learning fast, 
making sentences and having fun!
Those scraps of paper have become KLOO. 
Players will learn how to make sentences in 
foreign sentences in seconds and discover the 
meanings of words as they play. The results of-
ten astonish those who play. In a game, play-
ers will typically learn 15 - 30 words - without 
working or studying. And often it's not until 
they play again that they realise they have ef-
fortlessly picked up vocabulary and know how 
to immediately make sentences with them.

Play and learn a language 1000% faster
how effective is it? In a single game of 25 minutes a typical player (child or adult), will learn 15  30 
words without ever feeling they are studying or working. It comes naturally. Many teachers will tell 
you how challenging it is to motivate some students to learn 20 words by next week or even next 
month through usual vocabulary building techniques.
the learning begins as soon as you start
Within minutes of starting, players are whizzing around the game board, able to make thousands 
of possible sentences, speaking out loud, learning words and having fun! For many language 
learners KLOO is not just a game - it's a game changer.
 
To see how easy (super easy) it is to make sentences watch this video here.
VocaB method 4: the kloo comBo SyStem
This performance gap is reinforced by Milton and Meara's Research which shows the average 
accumulation of vocabulary by British children from 5 years to their GCSE exams (typically at 15 
/ 16 years old). It shows that by the time of the exam vocabulary is on average 850 words. It is a 
mainly uniform progression of 170 words a year or 15 words a month. On the basis that a typical 
child has 60 hours of lessons a year, children are learning at the rate of 3 words an hour. It is 
quite normal for children (and adults) to learn 15 - 25 words in a half hour game of KLOO. 
Watch this short video to see how.
Players of KLOO learn 30 words an hour, 1000% faster. In just six hours, players can learn what 
the average teenage student learns in a year.

a visualisation method
This method uses the power of visualisation 
and word substitution to embed new words. 
For instance, the Italian word for bee is APE 
pronounced AH-PEH.
Now imagine a HAPPY BEE. Really imagine the 
picture. The smile on the bee's face as he buzz-
es from flower to flower.an ecstatically HAPPY 
BEE.  Hold that image for 10 seconds. The next 
time you want to use the word for bee in Italian, 
you'll find you are much more likely to recall it 
by remembering the HAPPY BEE.
The Spanish word for chicken is pollo pro-
nounced POHL-LOH. Now imagine a chicken 
shocking everyone by playing polo! Imagine 
it being on a horse and swinging a polo stick. 
Hold the image. You'll remember it!
pros
This is a great method which I have used my-
self. Studies suggest that this approach can 
double your word retention. It is also quick to 
learn as a technique.
cons
There are limits to how many words can be 
usefully learned this way. It is in fact tough to 
find images that will work for most words.
suggestIon
Use this as an adjunct to other methods. If you 
see a word that you want to learn  and can 
associate an English word with it easily  then 
use it.

Hsiao draws on extensive research to

a famous memory technique
This method utilises the Memory Palace (some-
times called the Loci) technique used by world 
memory champions! It is an extremely power-
ful memory technique but it has its limitations 
when it comes to foreign language acquisition.
With the Memory Palace, you memorise a room 
or routine (such as your morning routine before 
leaving the house) and place items you want 
to remember in familiar locations. For instance, 
let's say you want to remember some items for 
your shopping list: a cucumber, salt, peas, an 
onion and spaghetti. Now imagine walking into 
your bathroom and walking over peas as you 
walk to the sink. When you get to the sink you 
try to turn on the tap but you find an onion bal-
ancing on it. You start to brush your teeth and 
you find the water is extremely salty. You then 
look into the sink and find spaghetti floating all 
around it. Finally you reach for the soap but find 
a cucumber on the soap dish. It's a crazy scene 
but that's why it works  it's using visualisation. 
Unfortunately, for foreign words, it doesn't work 
as effectively: because you don't have a mental 
image of the word you are placing. Try placing 
a "sabroso" in your palace? A sabroso? Uh? (It 
means tasty in Spanish). If you cannot visualise 
what you are placing  the technique fails.
pros
A very powerful technique for general mem-
orising. In fact, the most powerful method 
known to humankind. You can find out more at 
www.memocamp.com.
cons
This system relies on building a mental image 
 and as, by definition, you aren't familiar with 
the word  it fails for foreign language. Not that 
useful.

Here are 20 obscure English words all beginning with A or B. If I ask you to learn them  you proba-
bly won't (what's your incentive?). And if you tried to, you'll probably struggle to retain the meaning 
of all these words for long. As research has proven, random lists of unconnected information works 
against the grain of the way our brains work.

a PriZe for you - if you can do this!
Indulge me and imagine that you need to quickly find an obscure word which means "a judge of a 
contest" and if you do, you will win an important game! Take a second to build that scenario in your 
mind.
What is the word which means "a judge of a contest" to win the game? Are you feeling the urge to 
know?
You can find it in the list on the previous page. Go and find it and then come back here!
If you played along with our little game and looked for it  you will have experienced Discovery 
Learning (as opposed to learning by rote). You wanted information  because you were being re-
warded to find it  and then you found it. Ah ha! Discovery Learning.
Now turn overleaf.

Putting words into context
Now imagine that having discovered your new 
word, agonarch, you immediately use it in a 
sentence. This process provides new cognitive 
hooks to hold this new word in your long term 
memory. So, let's say we created this sentence:
"We desperately need to find an agonarch for 
our baking contest."
Now say it out loud.
If you played along, you'll remember agonarch 
means judge of a contest. If you didn't then 
probably not - because you haven't used these 
two powerful drivers of vocabulary building.
why does this work?
Without getting too scientific, this methodology 
simulates the same system we used to learn 
our first language. 
We want to find a word to be 
able to express ourselves.
We discover it.
We use it in context.
This is the way our brains our built to retain 
words. Any wonder then that it's the most ef-
fective?

other Powerful lanGuaGe learninG PrinciPleS
KLOO uses the proven principles of language learning and embedded them in a game system. 
These principles of language learning are independently corroborated by language experts. As dis-
cussed, it means you can learn how to speak Spanish, French or Italian just by playing. There is no 
need to work, write or study leaving you to have fun while learning fast.
 The best way to learn a language is through 
DISCOVERY LEARNING. This is the natural 
way we learned our first language. Discovery 
Learning involves discovering what you want 
to know, when you want to know it. Some sci-
entists call this the "Aha! Moment" or "Eureka 
Moment". This is how our brains are hot-wired 
to learn a language.
 CONTEXT is crucial. By putting words into 
context you give your new vocabulary mean-
ing. Meaningfulness is a central plank for get-
ting words into your LONG TERM MEMORY. 
The best technique for learning words is to 
seek the meaning of a word and then use it in 
a sentence. Using it straight away helps to lock 
it in.
 FUN is a hugely important factor but often 
overlooked. Many people give up learning a 
language because it becomes a chore. How-
ever, if you enjoy it, you do it more. The more 
you do it, the more you learn. KLOO is defi-
nitely FUN.
 REAL PEOPLE means speaking out loud 
with real people as opposed to learning from 
screens or audio devices. We learned our first 
language by talking with other people and all 
research shows this is the best way. Speaking 
with others will massively reduce your learning 
time.
 GENERATIVE means learning to use words as 
building blocks to make sentences rather than 
by rote.  If you learn how to use words in sen-
tences you rapidly build up the number of ways 
you can express yourself. With just one deck 
of KLOO you can make nearly 3 million sen-
tences.
