Why it works
Ellis, Tanaka and Yamazaki (1994) compared people who could stop and work the meaning out in conversation with people given a simplified script and no talking back. The conversation group understood more, and they kept more of the new words.
Understanding is not the same as speaking. Immersion classrooms showed children who could follow a lesson still stumbled when they had to produce the language themselves. Swain and Lapkin (1995) is a good place to start if you want the idea of that stretch — output, or pushed speech — not a slogan.

No. English is on every card, so you can play with a partner, a friend who is also learning, or a language exchange.
Yes. This set is written at A1–A2, for first real conversations. The intermediate set is for B1–B2.
The cards are sold on Amazon UK. Delivery follows Amazon’s options for your address.
The cards are for the table. The journal is for the week in between: a prompt on the page, then say the answer out loud.
