WHY THIS WORKS
Memory needs a task.
Instead of asking the learner to memorise “open file = ouvrir fichier”, the hub gives her a reason to use the phrase, a place to click, a visible example and a product to finish.
Visual position gives the word a home.
English and French stay together.
The action creates a memory.
