Paraphrase

Paraphrasing is an effective method which allows intermediate foreign language learners to increase their fluency in the target language. In the absence of a cultural interpretation, paraphrasing specific lexical terms facilitates comprehension between foreign language learners with multiple proficiency levels in addition to providing a beneficial mnemonic device that primes the learner for a more holistic definition.

native language	mother tongue
eraser	something that erases
glass ceiling	an invisible barrier
minorities	small social groups
puppy	a young dog
kitten	a young cat

glass ceiling: an unacknowledged discriminatory barrier that prevents women and minorities from rising to positions of power or responsibility, in the workplace.
