Learning English is definitely FUN!

Last Friday I had a great time with Lígia Gava & Galaor Bortoletto. We met at 9p.m. and decided to play SCRABBLE.

It was my first time, and I couldn’t imagine how good, interesting, genial, fantastic, and awesome it is. We spent over 6 hours playing this game that’s similar to a crossword puzzle in the format of board game, and I can tell you that it’s a great exercise to learn English. 

At first, it seems a very complex game, but then you see how easy and enjoyable it is. Besides practicing, I learned new words.

Another advantage is that you can play alone, or with the maximum of 4 people, which makes the game much funnier. 

To play the game you only need a nice vocabulary and cleverness to make the right moves.

Here are the general instructions:

1.   Agree on a dictionary to use in case of a challenge.

2.   Put all of the lettered tiles face down in the lid of the box and shuffle them.

3.   Draw seven tiles and place them on your rack.

4.   Combine two or more letters to form a word on the board. Begin the word on the red star square.

5.   Remember that diagonal words are not permitted.

6.   Add up the total score for the word.

7.   Draw the same number of tiles that you just played and put them on your rack.

8.   Alternate turns making words.

9.   Keep in mind that new words must use one of the letters already on the board.

10. Don't use words that are always capitalized, abbreviations, or words requiring a hyphen or apostrophe.

11. Win the game by achieving the highest total score after all of the tiles are used. If you have tiles left that you couldn't put on the board, you have to subtract the value of each one from your score.
