"hop" and "jump" ?
 

What's the difference between HOP and JUMP?

hop is like... small jump?

How should I say when I want the kids to hop like a bunny?

"Put your hands on your head and hop hop hop" makes sense?
Can I use "then" instead of "and"?

If I say jump jump jump... then you would do the diffrent action?

LOL I find the title quite funny! Strict and serious teachers! What,do you want like a fussy sad old person?! :p It's a joke,it's a joke.

Exactly.

In this context, either would work. The only difference I can think of is if you want to teach both words eventually, and how they can be used in different situations to mean almost the same thing.

I would take jumps, which are bigger than hops. However, even "jump" can have different meanings in context. English frequently doesn't make much sense at all :P

Yup! You could use "and" or "then". Heck, you could use "and then" too ;)

Hmm, if you told a child to jump or hop the actions would probably be pretty similar. In hopping (especially like "a bunny"), you bend your knees/squat more than you do when just jumping. And yeah, "hop" is considered a funner word than jump.

hahaha,
a fussy and sad old guy... yeah he's just my type;)

Super good! Well, yeah languages are very fun to learn but can also be very challenging. I'm learning the hard way right now. >< -Cry cry- But good luck!

*plooka plooka*

right...

what do you think about "phonics" thing ?

I heard there are people trying to "FIX" the irregular words:
like...
eight ---> eite

Do you think it's a good idea?

Heh. There's always the old joke:

"Huked onn fonix wurked fer mee."

It's meant to show that completely relying on one method of learning isn't a wise idea. However, taking some knowledge from it and other ways of learning (like practical experience) can be effective.

It's been over 20 years since I took French language classes in junior high school and I can still recognize the occasional word or phrase. Having bilingual packaging on consumer items keeps many words or phrases fresh in a person's mind.

And at the risk of drawing ire from other forum members, listening to unsubtitled anime has increased my ability to pick out certain words in isolation. But it takes watching the same episode subtitled in English to show there's still a lot of words and phrases I couldn't pick up the first time.

I see.

What's "HECK" ?

I see...
Thanks:)

oh, how about なわとび！

jump rope, skipping rope... can I call it hopping rope or hop rope?

and what's the right way to say...

"Let's play rope-jumping!" ? or
"Let's do rope-jumping!" ?
"Let's jump rope!" ?

the problem is, people are too polite to tell you wen ur wrong. i got the same problem. not my teacher though. . .
