A Short Story: Lucas Shares His Hobby
Lucas, an intermediate English learner, joined a local language club. During a meeting, he was asked about his hobbies. Using the vocabulary he learned with Metakgram’s visual tags, Lucas confidently talked about his passion for cooking, especially Italian cuisine. He described why he loved it and even shared some of his favorite dishes to prepare. The group was intrigued and asked him for recipes, making Lucas feel proud and connected.

Visual tags help learners connect words and phrases related to hobbies with visual imagery, making it easier to remember and confidently use the vocabulary in conversations.
