How Can Baking Help You To Learn English?
You learn new words
When you are🧁 🍰 baking, you are introduced to many new and 💬 different words you might not hear 👂 or use every day. Most of the words💬 you will come across will usually be ingredients🥚 🍳 🧈 and the utensils🥄 🍴 you need for baking and the correct terminology for the baking process. Terminology is the right ✅ type of words 💬 used when discussing a specific action or process, such as 🥧 🧁 🍰baking.
You can learn words such as;
Flour
Chocolate chips 🍫(who doesn't like chocolate!)
Baking powder
Pre-heating
Knead
Dough🍞
Mixture
Temperature🌡
When you read📖 a recipe and then follow the instructions when baking 🥧 🧁 🍰 🎂, you automatically learn🎓 something new. And you learn how and 🤷 why you need to follow 🔢 the steps to gain the desired results!
Learning🎓 the "why" 🤷 can help you apply this to the different tenses and verbs in the English language, which will help you become more confident 💪 in speaking 👄 as you get to practise pronunciation, which is the right 👍 way to say words.
2. You can associate words with physical items and feelings!
Do you like👍 to have fun instead of🎓 learning? Even adults like👍 to have fun 🥳 instead of 🎓learning. For example, baking can be really🧁 🍰 fun - especially licking 👅the bowl before you 🧼wash it!
When your parents👨👩👧👧 show you to mix the ingredients, you learn how to put the recipe into practice.
Being asked to find 🔍 🔎 the ingredient helps you practice your spelling and read 📖 to find the right✅ ingredient.
Dividing your mixture up to make the cookies🍪 or cakes🍰 helps you count 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ 4️⃣ 5️⃣ 6️⃣ to make sure you have enough mixture to make the right amount of cakes.

Even the clean🧼 up afterwards can help you to learn. However, 🧼🚿cleaning up is definitely not one of the more fun parts of 🧁 🍰 🎂baking, don't you agree!
3. Increased Confidence
How do you feel 😀 😟 😕 when you are praised for doing something well? Do you feel good? Close your eyes 👀 and remember that😀 😟 😕 feeling. Then when you learn something 🧑🏫👓🎓 new that you struggled with, you can experience it all over again. Baking 🧁 🍰 🎂 is a really good way 👍 to spend time with your 👨👩👦 parents, if they are behaving, and help you become more in 🙆♀️ 🙆 control of what you can do and how well you can put into practice 👏 🙌 something you learn.
You can then feel better👍 about all of the new and wonderful 👏 🙌things you are learning at 🎒 school. It doesn't matter how long 📏 it takes you to learn, just that you have the confidence💪 you can never stop learning.
