3 Tips for Learning Any Language
3 Tips for Learning Any Language Learning a language can be challenging, so here are 3 tips from one of our italki tutors on what to focus on in order to reach your goal! 1) LEARN THE STRUCTURE Learn the structure first, with limited lexicon, by making up a lot of sentences, with the help of a native friend or teacher. Languages are all about composing sentences, recounting facts and expressing any kind of idea or thoughts. You do not need to know a lot of words in order to make up many useful, real-life phrases. Learning a language should be mostly a constructive process: the more sentences you build, the more you understand and remember the syntax of the language. You cant learn by reading only. You have to make the effort to write and speak, that is to communicate. There are two aspects to every language: syntax and semantics. Semantics is usually quite easy: a good dictionary can tell you the meaning of an unknown word. If a word has many possible meanings, you will be easily able to tell the right one from the context. Idiomatic expressions can be difficult to look up in a traditional dictionary, but there are many online resources out there to help you with that as well. Syntax is the real tricky thing, because word order can be very different from your own language, as well as the usage of verbs, which is very important to master correctly as soon as possible. Here you absolutely need a native to tell you whether the sentences you invent are grammatically correct or not. It is helpful to be aware of all correct word orders in which you can express a certain sentence. In order to become fluent, you need to build into your brain a sort of grammar machine for the target language: an automation that is able to generate all grammatical sentences and recognize the ungrammatical ones. This is where a native teacher can and should help you most. 2) RELATE WORDS Do not try to memorize words, but instead relate words between each other both in the target language and in the languages you already know. Compare the structure of the languages, too. There is a lot of contamination between languages. Depending on the relative geographical nearness of people speaking different languages, you will find more or less cognates or loan words. Sometimes a word is borrowed by a language indirectly from another language, e.g. English borrowed many words from French, and French from Latin. These words happen to be similar to Spanish or Italian, because of the common Latin origin. Anyway, you do not need to know the exact etymology of each word, which sometimes remains controversial, in order to speak a language. Just exploit both similarities and differences between the languages. They both can help you to remember, so it is important you are aware of them. Never try to learn a word by heart, without understanding a bit of its internal structure. (*) We cannot learn a language using word lists and we cannot remember a lot of words without relating them. Paradoxically, it is easier for us to learn many related words together than unrelated words separately. Also, you have to use words to make sentences many times until they go into your permanent memory and you will never forget them. A good teacher can help you to practice the same words in different contexts and will not introduce too many new words at a time. He will also never pretend you to learn by heart sentences where you do not understand the meaning of each word and the grammatical structure. Both are needed if you want to reuse what you have learned to make new, different sentences. (*) For instance, the word for both why and because in Italian is perché. By learning this word and recognizing its structure, you can easily learn three words in one, since per is for and che is what. So why/because is for what in Italian. By the way, because in English is not the contraction of be cause but comes from by cause. The latter would be per causa in Italian. Causa comes directly from Latin. Because of me in Italian is just by cause my/mine or per causa mia. It is not by my cause, because (no pun intended) in Italian we put an adjective after the noun in order to restrict its sense: per mia causa would be correct but there is no stress on mia if put before the noun it refers to. In other words by putting mia after causa we mean mine and not anothers cause and that equates to stress my. This is typical of Italian: you can revert the order with other adjectives as well, not only possessives. 3) USE A METHOD WITH YOUR LANGUAGE PARTNER Use a method to structure your language exchanges and make them more fruitful. With a proper method you can make the most of the usually limited time available to practice languages with native speakers on an exchange basis. First, make sure your language partner has the same level of knowledge of your mother tongue as you have of his/her native language. Also, make sure he/she is a native speaker of the language you want to learn. Second, arrange the exchange so that both languages can be practiced at the same time, so neither will get bored. Third, do not be afraid to ask questions to clear up any doubt, e.g. ask about word choices and correct structure and possible variations on the same sentence. Avoid using complex grammar terminology, which most native speakers do not know. Answer the same questions for your own language too, so your partner can learn something as well. Fourth, build up complex sentences step-by-step, by starting from simple ones, adding to them and joining shorter sentences to obtain longer ones. A funny and informative way to practice with a language partner is to simulate a conversation between two people in a real-life situation e.g. between a customer and a salesperson in a shop, two friends in a pub, two students taking an exam together, two friends who meet up after a long time etc. The possibilities are endless and no personal questions are involved. Invent the dialog on the spot, without any prior preparation, starting from a sentence and adding more sentences as you go. In turn, you and your partner make up the next sentence of the dialog in the languages you want to learn, the other checks whether the sentence is correct and translates it in the other language. So you both make the effort to make the sentence in your target language and have their phrase checked by a native. Any mistakes should be pointed out by trying to explain both what is wrong, why it is wrong and how to make the sentence grammatical. You can first pronounce a sentence and then write it down in a text chat. The exchange transcript can be copied and pasted and used for brushing up by both. About the author: Antonio Bonifati is an Italian language teacher for speakers of English. He has a fondness for both natural and formal languages, like those used in mathematics and computer science to unambiguosly describe information processing and trying to simulate human intelligence. In 2010 he developed a mnemonic language teaching method primarily based on the structure of languages. Antonio has a 5-star feedback rating, and has taught over 52 sessions on italki. 3 Tips for Learning Any Language Learning a language can be challenging, so here are 3 tips from one of our italki tutors on what to focus on in order to reach your goal! 1) LEARN THE STRUCTURE Learn the structure first, with limited lexicon, by making up a lot of sentences, with the help of a native friend or teacher.

How to Help Your Child With Algebra
How to Help Your Child With AlgebraBeing able to help your child with algebra is not difficult to do. The issue is knowing how to help your child with algebra. It is possible for your child to learn the basics of math while also doing something fun and exciting that will help him or her to learn, get better grades, and enjoy learning in general.One way of how to help your child with algebra is to build on something that they are already familiar with. There are many math skills that can be taught with games and toys. There are plenty of math games and math toys that can help your child learn more about multiplication, addition, and fraction. Your child will learn a great deal about math by playing these games and toys and, hopefully, these games and toys will become an addiction that will last for years.Remember that your child will have a difficult time learning algebra and getting high grades if there is no math in their life. Children who are bored with learning how to do basic ma th skills, in particular, tend to gravitate toward other activities that help them to focus on math. They may start doing crossword puzzles, or work out at the gym, or read books on math problems and math strategies.If you are looking for ways to help your child with algebra, the best thing to do is to get your child involved in something that will help them to learn and to have fun at the same time. Math can become a fun game for your child when they learn how to set it up and when they learn how to play it. If your child has the right kind of games and toys that can help them to get the hang of math, they will be able to see that they can have fun learning and they will also see that math is not so scary.You may be able to start your child in math by introducing them to a simple game like put and take. Put and take involves counting the cards in a deck while the person on the bottom tries to count the cards from the top to the bottom. This is a good math game for your child to get them started with math and there are many places where your child can find this game or one similar to it. Some games like these allow your child to join in the game so that you can provide them with extra skills in math as well.Another way to help your child with algebra is to get them involved in a project that has to do with math. It could be something like building a model of an airplane or working on an advanced math puzzle. Some games and puzzles may be a good idea for your child's parents or guardians to help with the task because they know the child better than anyone else.Just make sure that you use your child's strengths, and they don't become bored with the process of learning math. It is a good idea to allow your child to choose the project they want to do and make sure that they choose something that will be interesting for them. If you let them choose the math based on the number of lines and blocks, they will figure out the project themselves and if they choose a mat h based on the square feet of the house, then you can spend a lot of time helping them get the hang of the process.

Muay Thai Clubs in Glasgow
Muay Thai Clubs in Glasgow Are There Any Muay Thai Clubs in Glasgow? ChaptersWhy Practise Muay Thai?The Best Clubs for Muay ThaiWhat Muay Thai Gear Do You Need?If one thinks about our Dear Green Place, the first idea that must come to mind is that it is nothing if not adaptable.Inhabited for millennia, Glasgow has been Roman, Catholic and Protestant; it grew from a small settlement on the River Clyde into an important trading port, was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution and is now a centre for culture, science, education and art.As long and storied as her history is and as versatile as sheâs shown herself to be, it seems that combat sports, Muay Thai in particular, would be a natural reflection of all that Glesga is.You shouldnât think of Muay Thai as merely two guys beating the tar out of each other in a ring; for one because Muay Thai is also open to women and children.More to the point: Muay Thai is not about the fighting but about conditioning oneself for the fight⦠here again, Glasgow and this ancient combat sport run parallel.To day, Glasgow stands ready for anything, from the influx of international students flooding in to study at her fabulous universities to the disastrous fires that gutted one of the most illustrious buildings of the cityscape.The Muay Thai boxer stands ready for anything too: be it a punch, a kick or a clinch, these martial artists have schooled themselves to endure and overcome⦠and yes, even triumph over their opponents.Let us now find the best Muay Thai gyms in and around Glasgow so that you, too, can become a fighting Glaswegian who is ready for anything.close-combat discipline to hear echoes of our cityâs history.There is an ethos to the martial arts in general and Muay Thai specifically that calls to people determined to be their best selves. Unlike boxer training, in which punches are the only strikes permitted, Muay Thai does not allow for protective headgear Image by StockSnap from PixabayMuay Thai training originated as a form of combat preparation; it served as military training at a time when long-range weaponry didnât exist and hand to hand combat is how conflicts were resolved.Over time it came to be regarded more as martial arts training and, when King Rama V of Thailand took the throne in the mid-19th Century, his fascination with it turned Muay Thai fighting into the national sport.Some of the top reasons to train Muay Thai include:getting in your best shape ever â" itâs all about endurance and strengthmeeting like-minded peopleit teaches you to keep calm, no matter whatit will cloak you in fortitude: knowing you can handle anything is a real confidence boosteritâs great for cultivating self-disciplineit helps you develop mental toughnessYou might wonder about mental toughness; isnât it associated prim arily with sports? Indeed, it is but more and more, this attribute is seen as vital to success in general.So, whether you are working your way through school or fighting for a promotion; live a life of adversity or are just looking for your big break, the conditioning you undergo as a Muay Thai fighter will arm you to adapt and overcome in every other aspect of your life.Just ask those who study Muay Thai techniques in Belfast; they are no stranger to adapting and overcoming.The Best Clubs for Muay ThaiThere is a reason that Glasgow is the most populous city in Scotland: it has something for everyone, even the prospective martial artist.Consider yourselves lucky, Weegies! While there is only a handful of Muay Thai clubs in Cardiff, you have several dojos to choose from.Weâll start our tour of them right in City Centre, with The Griphouse.Guy Ramsey and Paul McVeigh, the clubâs co-founders, have themselves trained under some of the best martial arts teachers; now they bring their wealth of experience to you.While they do train to competition level, if you are interested solely in attaining your best self â" not competing, that is fine by them. They will be glad for you to join them at £7 per session ( £70 per month).And if youâre not sure Muay Thai is the martial art for you, you might try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, wrestling or boxing while you're there. You will throw punches in Muay Thai kickboxing, but you will also kick and grapple Image by Claudio_Scott from PixabayStaying in Central Glasgow, letâs peek in at Boxfit Glasgow.If you are thinking that Boxfit and Thai boxing are oceans apart⦠you may be right: Boxfit is a high-energy cardio workout that incorporates many elements of boxer training, such as rope skipping and working your core.However, you must be in peak physical form for Muay Thai boxing so maybe such a class might not be a total waste?What we really like about this club is that membership numbers are kept low to assure everyone they will get the attention and training they need.We also like that, because this gym is smack in City Centre, their trainees come from many walks of life⦠kind of like the Muay Thai clubs in London!Also, their prices arenât bad: your trial membership is £30 for two weeks; a weekly pass is £25.If, for whatever reason, your fitness goals have not been met this year, you can get bac k on the horse at Everyday Athlete.As their name implies, they are open to everyone from new mums to those looking to train with Thai pads and focus mitts.They put a rather fun spin on their Muay Thai training but donât place them in the same category as franchise gyms that want your membership but leave getting fit up to you; they are quite serious about this ancient art of fighting.They offer a prep program for a flat rate of £99; beyond that, you can secure your membership for as low as £75 per month. Too bad there is no such Muay Thai club near me!You might think that, with a name like Glasgow Fitness, there would be no such thing as martial arts training, let alone a serious combat sport like Muay Thai practised there. Oh, how wrong!Although they have everything covered as far as fitness goes â" fully outfitted workout spaces as well as yoga classes, personal training, Thai massage and even nutritious meals prepared onsite, their true love is Muay Thai training.Of course, you could just go there to relax in the sauna; you donât have to undergo a training session every time. If youâre near Thornliebank, why not drop in and see what they have to offer?Just a little further southeast, past Thornliebank, is Newton Mearns; if you have already undergone strength conditioning and are ready to get serious about sparring, clinching and beating a heavy bag, Pro Muay Thai is the place for you.As their name suggests, they do only Muay Thai and, under the guidance of experienced fighter Cha MacKenzie, they do it exceedingly well.In fact, everything about this gym is great, from the clubâs layout to the fact that they welcome kids as well as adults, beginners and those ready for their pra jiad â" their ceremonial armband.Did you know that more women are seeking out Muay Thai for self-defense? The Muay Thai classes in Birmingham are brimming with women warriors! In spite of Muay Thai being a full-contact sport, you will need very little gear to practise it Image by Taco Fleur from PixabayWhat Muay Thai Gear Do You Need?Obviously, you would not wear a swimsuit if youâre going to do yoga; likewise, if youâre a devotee of mixed martial arts, you wouldnât dream of outfitting yourself in a basketball uniform.Many people associate the karate gi with martial arts; if you were studying judo, such garb would be appropriate. The dobok, worn by those practising Tae Kwon Do, is slightly different than the gi but neither of those is worn in Muay Thai.If you are male, you will most likely fight shirtless but, for practice, you may wear any tee-shirt youâd like. However, as the workouts are fairly intensive, you might consider breathable training shirts.Also, the Muay Thai shorts worn in the ring are shorter than basketball shorts because they follow the traditional style worn in Thailand. You should note that the leg openings are wider than regula r shorts to permit high kicking, so wearing compression shorts underneath them is advised.If you cannot find any Muay Thai shorts or would like to have a wider variety to choose from, you might check out MMA shorts; they too get the job done.Hand wraps and Muay Thai gloves are a must! If you cannot find a comfortable pair of Muay Thai gloves, you may consider boxing gloves but ask your coach, first; s/he may not approve of those larger gloves.Shin guards: your shins are in for a lot of work; it is best to protect them during training. Likewise, you might consider ankle supports; all of that kicking with surely fatigue them.Of course, a mouthguard and a groin guard are essential but protective headgear is not and elbow and knee pads are optional.Unlike weight training or other disciplines, Muay Thai does not call for a large cash investment to get started; true to its historical roots, it relies on you to furnish its essential ingredients: your mind, your body and sincere dedication. If youâre ready to do so, Glesga Muay Thai clubs are ready for you!Find out how they compare to Muay Thai clubs in Manchesterâ¦

Source: Wikipedia Credit: BtzkrWhat Type of Music?Drums are not a one-size-fits-all proposition.Jazz drummers and those in acoustic or folk bands tend to gravitate toward smaller drums, and fewer of them make up their kit.If you are a traditionalist, you may prefer the 4-drum configuration that Ringo Starr made popular during The Beatles heyday: a bass drum and a snare, with a single hanging tom and a floor tom.That arrangement is well suited to jazz, acoustic, folk and rock music styles.By contrast, Bill Ward (Black Sabbath drummer) may well faint when confronted with delicate, thin cymbals and single-ply drum heads, and would most likely feel bereft behind only four drums!Find drum lessons anywhere in the UK!Before settling on a drum set, you should give thought to how they will be played.To make choosing easier, you might want to know that drums come in two broad configurations: Fusion and Standard.The Fusion drums tend to be a bit smaller in diameter, but with a zippy tone and more voluble sound.By contrast, the Standard configuration is probably better known, among other things, for the bigger tone the toms produce and the greater volume overall.There are merits to both configurations and choosing which set-up is entirely up to you.However, we urge you to consider: while you could probably play anything by Taylor Swift on either drum kit, you may want to do your Lars Ullrich impression on a standard set â" you risk cracking a cymbal if you hit it too hard!Find out how to maintain your drums optimally...Poplar is another low-cost alternative to maple and birch, yet makes a similar soundLauan, generally referred to as âselect hardwoodâ, might be considered budget-birch.Bottom line: the type of shell you select will impact your kitâs sound and durability.

Also, you have a choice of effect cymbals â" again, not necessary to play basic tunes.Top of the line, brand name equipment such as Zildjian and Sabian will most certainly cost you a pretty penny, and there is really no getting around the fact that your cymbals may just be the most expensive component in your kit.The choice of brands, thicknesses and whether they are cast or cut from sheet metal all make a difference in price.Tip: Paiste, a brand with a loyal following, is a sheet metal cymbal line with a great sound and not much variance in sound from cymbal to the next (of the same line and size). And they tend to cost less than Zildjian cymbals!Drum AccessoriesOddly enough, you canât really play the drums unless you have drumsticks, yet they are considered a kit accessory!What are the best drum sticks?
