La escalera · How phrases are taught

Spanish phrases often don't match English word for word. Each phrase climbs these steps, one step per correct answer. Miss it and it steps back down.

1. Learn it. A card breaks the phrase down word by word. tengo = I have · hambre = hunger
2. Literal English falls, with letter clues. I have hunger → t____ ______
3. Literal English, no letters.
4. Real English, with the literal version underneath as a crutch. I'm hungry · lit: I have hunger
5. Real English with blanks only.
6. Real English alone. That phrase is mastered.
