It is easier for me to teach kids by showing them how it is done as well. I am more of a visual person. When teaching new words, I have to explain it a lot of times until they can come up with different words themselves.

The last time I saw an elephant was when I visited Prambanan which was 5 years ago. There are zoos here but the closest is 6 hours drive. I am not sure if there are elephants there.
