9 Unusual Love Songs That Are Almost Romantic

9 Unusual Love Songs That Are Almost Romantic Sign up successful *This list is in no particular order. 1) Computer Love by Zapp and Roger (1985) Overview: The singer  seeks a romantic partner  through his computer. Why its unusual: Given the time period, this was  quite the unconventional love song. The internet didnt become a household commodity until the early 90s when the first commercial internet service providers (e.g. AOL) came about. The band, also known as Zapp, was certainly ahead of its time,  credited  for the inspiration behind the early 90s G-funk sound of hop hop. Finding love through the internet  must have seemed like a strange, distant concept when this song was released. Example lyrics: You know Ive been searching for someone Who can share that special love with me And your eyes have that glow Could it be your face I see on my computer screen Need a special girl, ooh yeah To share in my computer world, my computer world I no longer need a strategy Thanks to modern technology 2) Cupids Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes (2005) Overview: The lead singer goes through trials and tribulations finding the right girlfriend. Why its unusual: The ease at which the singer is able to gush about one girlfriend and move on to the next is astounding. In the music video, Cupid attempts to match the singer with a few different girlfriends. Whats most unusual about this concept is the chorus, in which Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy sings, Take a look at my girlfriend, shes the only one I got. Not much of a girlfriend, I never seem to get a lot. Even though the singers  verses sound sweet and romantic toward his  new love interests, one cant help but feel cheated by his  kind words. Example lyrics: Its been some time since weve last spoke This is gonna sound like a bad joke But Momma, I fell in love again Its safe to say I have a new girlfriend And I know it sounds so old But Cupid got me in a chokehold And Im afraid I might give in Towels on the mat, my white flag is wavin 3) Whats New Pussycat by Tom Jones (1965) Overview: A man sings relentlessly about the facial features of a woman. Why its unusual: A catchy melody cant mask the lyrics of this unusual love song. While many love songs attempt to make the love interest sound appealing in terms of personality or temperament, this one makes no attempt whatsoever. The singer goes on and on about the nose, eyes, and lips of a woman he finds beautiful. By the off-chance a woman DOES finds these lyrics appealing, well be sure to take this off of the unusual list. Example lyrics: Pussycat, Pussycat Ive got flowers And lots of hours To spend with you So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose! Pussycat, Pussycat I love you Yes, I do! You and your pussycat nose! 4) She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5  (2002) Overview: A man sings about his  obsession with making a sad girl happy. Why its unusual: The singer drives miles and miles to wait outside the house of an insecure, vulnerable 18-year-old woman. Regardless of how the woman feels, the singer says he wouldnt mind  standing on her street corner in the pouring rain, waiting for her to approach him. Even though the sentiment of sweetness is there,  the imagery of a street stalker sours this unusual  love songs mood  a bit. Example lyrics: I know where you hide Alone in your car Know all of the things that make you who you are I know that goodbye means nothing at all 5) Ben by Michael Jackson (1972) Overview: A boy sings about his new friendship and how it makes him feel. Why its unusual: Its not a traditional love song, but it  exhibits many qualities of one; loneliness, insecurity, and understanding. What makes this love song unusual is the fact that its about a boy professing his admiration for his pet rat. It was originally written for a movie about a rat named Ben, but it eventually sold itself as a single, even ranking #20 on the Billboard Top 100 during its release. While its still a nice song about a childs  love for a pet, its not as deep as a traditional love song  would usually permit. Example lyrics: Ben, the two of us need look no more We both found what we were looking for With a friend to call my own Ill never be alone And you my friend will see Youve got a friend in me 6) Mirrors by Justin Timblerlake (2013) Overview: The singer professes his love for someone because they remind him of himself. Why its unusual: While couples usually thrive because they share common interests, the singer  here thrives off of dating a carbon copy of himself. Its nice to admire the qualities of a person who  you think reflects your own traits, but calling them a mirror  voids them of any individuality. Play this song for someone you love when  youre feeling especially narcissistic. Example lyrics: I cant ever change without you You reflect me, I love that about you And if I could, I Would look at us all the time 7) Sweet Tangerine by The Hush Sound (2006) Overview: A desperate ex-boyfriend pleads for his girlfriend to come back to him. Why its unusual: Upon first listen, you  may be too distracted by the upbeat nature of the song to  really listen to the lyrics. The lyrics start with the singer trapped outside, freezing in the rain, hoping to be let inside by his ex-girlfriend. He made a mistake in their past relationship and tries to justify it by saying, Without the sour, the sweet wouldnt taste as In just a couple verses later, the song  quickly turns into the tale of a desperate stalker breaking into his  exs house and  waiting under her bed until she wakes up. Can you see  how its  one of the more unusual love songs? Example lyrics: Crept through the curtains, as quick as the cold wind Slowly exploring the room where you sleep The stare of your portrait, the passing of your scent Left me no choice but to stay I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed My hands will wait for a taste of your skin  8) These Foolish Things by Sam Cooke (1962) Overview: The singer thinks about his lover every time  he experiences certain phenomena. Why its unusual: Its a sweet song to sing to your lover but only after theyve passed away.  In the singers everyday life, he sees, hears, and smells things that remind him of his former sweetheart. If you choose to ignore  the lyrics about the ghost, you can get away with singing this to  someone you love! Example lyrics: The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations Oh how the ghost of you clings These foolish things Remind me of you 9) What Makes You Beautiful by One  Direction (2011) Overview: The singers are infatuated with a girl they deem as insecure and unaware of her beauty. Why its unusual: No matter how many compliments you give someone on their physical appearance, it wont change their internalized insecurities. The singers in this song seem to think otherwise, noting that what makes the girl beautiful is the fact that she doesnt know shes beautiful. Its a concept that makes sense if you dont think about it much. Example lyrics: If only you saw what I can see Youll understand why I want you so desperately Right now Im looking at you and I cant believe You dont know, you dont know youre beautiful Thats what makes you beautiful BONUS: Every Breath You Take by The Police (1983) Overview: A singer  vows to look after his love interest in an obsessive way. Why its unusual: If you listen to this song once, itll become immediately apparent that the singer is actually a stalker.  No matter what the love interest does in their everyday life, the singer wants to watch them do it.  Even Sting, the lead singer of The Police, said that the song was deliberately about a stalker.  Its certainly not the greatest song to sing at a wedding. Example lyrics: Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take Ill be watching you Every single day Every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay Ill be watching you Conclusion See what we mean about unusual love songs?

If I can cook it anyone can!THE APPLE OF ONES EYEWhen someone has a favourite person (for example, a child or grandchild) who they are very proud of and always happy to see, we refer to this person as the apple of ones eye.Example: The grandfather had four grandchildren. Two boys  and two girls. He was fond of all of them but the first born grandchild was his favou rite and he  always told her (Mary)  that she was the apple of his eye.SPILL THE BEANSBeans are a favourite food of many. Easy to make.Tasty to eat and cheap to buy.However,  if you  drop them or spill them it can be a little bit messy  (tomato sauce everywhere!)  When some one has  a secret or some information that we really want we keep asking them to tell us. We ask them to  â€œspill the beans” or give us the information.We constantly urge them  (encourage them):“Come on, spill the beans, you know you want to!” English Phrases about Food - Infographic Enjoyed this infographic? Here’s what you can do next: FULL OF BEANSStill on the theme of beans.  Lots of food is well known for giving us energy.  Beans in particular offer one of the best sources of energy.If someone is full of beans, it means they are full of energy, they are very active.Example: When children are jumping and running and screaming and shouting we often hear the parents saying: “Don’t worry, they are full of beans”.BUTTER SOMEBODY UPSometimes it is difficult to persuade someone to do what you want them to or to get them to agree  to your request.To help we often have to find their “good side”  (something that will help in  persuading him/her more easily).Often praising them or flattering them works quite easily and we refer to this as buttering them up  (like putting lots of butter on toast.it makes the toast very  smooth).Example: Juan wanted Ana to cook his favourite meal  (paella).  Ana said she was busy and did not have the  time.

HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT ITWe all love cakes. The sweet taste of a rich chocolate or gateaux is a very warm experience. To have  your cake and eat it is used when somebody wants everything.Not happy with one thing he/she  wants it all.Example: Michael had been asking his boss for many  months about promotion. When finally his boss called him in and told him he was  being promoted he was of course very happy. However,  he immediately asked for an increase in his  salary and a company car. His boss was a bit surprised. “You really want  your cake and eat it don’t you.”  TO BE IN A PICKLEWhen we want to preserve some vegetables (like cucumbers or onions) we often use vinegar.  These are then referred to as pickled.We all have difficulties at times in our lives. Some are more  difficult than others. When we have a problem that is not easy to solve we say “oh we are in a pickle  here.”  Example: David had a problem. He had lost his job and needed to repay his bank loan. He owed th em  money for his car loan. He phoned his father to see if he could help. “Dad sorry to ask but I am in a  bit of a pickle. I lost my job and need to repay my bank . Could you help for a few weeks please?”

Survey Finds That College Students Need More Incentive to Get Vaccinated

Survey Finds That College Students Need More Incentive to Get Vaccinated via Pixabay The survey revealed many new insights, such as new insights into increasing participation in vaccination programs on campuses, such as the fact that while a majority of college students in the U.S. (70%) believe it is important to get an annual flu vaccine, less than half (46%) actually get vaccinated. With these results, the NFID wanted to know how to best incentivize students into getting their vaccines. They found that with access to the vaccine at low or no cost (61%) and enticements, such as free food or gift cards (61%), students say it would increase their likelihood of getting vaccinated. The reason that it is so important that college students receive vaccinations is that they are at particularly high risk of getting, and spreading, the flu. This is because the college lifestyle leaves them open to frequent exposure to high-touch areas like common living spaces and classrooms, as well as their participation in social activities. “As a healthcare community, we’ve long known that college students are profoundly under-vaccinated. This new research indicates that a combination of education and incentives may be an effective way to reach college students who have been apprehensive about vaccination in the past,” said NFID Board member, Lisa S. Ipp, M.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine, Associate Director of Adolescent Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian Komansky Children’s Hospital. “We now plan to work with academic, health, advocacy and student leaders to share these insights and uncover additional best practices to drive improvements in flu immunization efforts on campuses.”

FluentU Reviews 5 Smart Language Programs for Discerning Learners

FluentU Reviews 5 Smart Language Programs for Discerning Learners FluentU Reviews 5 Smart Language Programs for Discerning Learners You cant wait to get to the good stuff.Thats right, I see you skimming search results on your laptop.I see you, skeptical but hopeful, determined to find the best resource for learning a language out there.Come on, youre thinking, Whats the best language learning program of them all?Whats the most  effective learning system on the face of the earth?Whats going to get me fluent in the least amount of time?Well, you shouldnt think like that.When you seek answers to  such general questions, you only sell yourself short.Youre smarter than that, and you deserve better.Heres why. Choosing a Language Program: Its About the FitYou know what happens when you go searching for the best of them all?You go on a wild goose chase where you find people wholl swear on this program or that program. And on the other side of the aisle, just as sure of themselves, are people screaming, Give me back my money!Most of the time, when you read reviews of language learning programs, just as with any other pr oduct reviews, you end up feeling like theres a tug-of-war going on between those who think a certain programs the best thing since sliced bread, and then another group who are completely dissatisfied.The better question to ask would be Which program is the best for me?Take the idea of best and focus it on yourself. Because there are different kinds of people in this world, and theres no one super-awesome, super-scientifically-backed program that does everything for everyone.Furthermore, theres no program that contains all the resources you should be making use of in your language learning (books, movies, native speakers, etc.). The question really is what a particular program can bring to your personal learning journey.Sure, every program has features that merits its existence. And for sure, many people will benefit from them. But how about you? What will work best for you?So when looking for the best, dont immediately go looking for whats out there.  Instead, get  selfish and ask yourself, Whats in here?In order to do just that, here are a few things you need to keep in mind while choosing the language learning program thats right for you.PricePrice is a tricky subject. Theres no one way to determine if a program is priced just right.Some programs price themselves out of the running because theyre simply out of your range. Others, when theyre too cheap, can make you feel suspicious. And when theyre free, theres always the danger that youll automatically think theyre no good when they could actually be offering something more robust than some paid programs.All of the above is worth taking into consideration as you consider programs based on your budget and what you think theyre worth. Again, youll have to determine this yourself, but its important to consider. Feeling youre getting a good price  will make you happy about your purchase, and can actually make you feel motivated about learning.Medium of InstructionWhat sorts of materials do you like best while l earning? Video, audio, text, games a mix of all these media?There are different routes to fluency. Different types of learners will benefit from different types of media being used to teach a language. Are you an audio learner? Then podcasts could be your key. Do you absolutely have to see words in order to remember them? Then look to programs that fit that need.Do you want it all? No matter who you are, a mix of media is probably going to be your best bet but then is the price attractive enough?Content DepthThis is the other side of the coin, and youre going to have to balance this with price to see if youre getting enough bang for your buck.Going back to price for a moment, a free program could be free because it only scratches the surface and contains material for beginners, or material that you can find many other places. Or a program could be expensive because it  promises to take you from absolute beginner to advanced level.To understand whats really going on with a program, f ocus on the depth of content. Read the features section of the program ad. But steer clear of words like awesome or amazing that have been purposely written to entice. Look for facts. How many vocabulary  words are you supposed to be able to learn? How many hours of material are you given? What kinds of topics or content will be covered? How much personalization does the program offer?Focusing on the actual features of the product while trying to stay neutral to the advertising will get you a reasonable picture of the program.Target SkillsIt would be ideal for you to learn speaking, reading, writing  and listening in the target language. But because you dont have all the time in the world, you need to prioritize which of the linguistic skills is most important for you.If you want to speak a language fast, for example, then choose a program that focuses on developing speaking skills. Also consider, though, that simply learning to communicate some basic phrases in a language wont help you to understand what another person is saying, so listening can be just as important in conversation.What do I want to learn? Ask yourself that question and be specific as possible. Do you want to learn vocabulary? Then choose a program whose strong suit is exactly that. Do you want to focus on grammar? Then know that there are programs that are hardcore on that.Also, you should take note of how youll be using the language. Are you a vacationer who needs to learn just enough to get by? Then gravitate towards material specifically made for travelers. Are you going to use the language for academic or business writing? Then stay away from titles like Spanish Slang Other Four Letter Words.AestheticsAesthetics is the general look of the program, whether its a physical book or CD cover, the fonts and colors used in an app. Its also about the clarity of the audio or the attractiveness of the graphics.Aesthetics is about beauty, good taste and ease of use.Does the general look of the pr ogram appeal to you? Whether its the pages of a workbook or a computer screen, the look is often reflective of the thought and effort put into the program. It isnt always the case that the more attractive the program, the better the content, but its worth thinking about how the two connect.If, somehow, the look, format or structure of a program just does not appeal to you, then theres no reason for you to spend hours slogging through material that seems a little off to you in the first place.All that being said, lets now review five famous language programs based on the factors weve just mentioned.Also, the links in this post are affiliate links, so by purchasing some of these products, you’ll be supporting our efforts to keep bringing you top-notch language learning content on the FluentU blogs.FluentU Reviews 5 Smart Language Programs for Discerning LearnersFluentU ReviewFluentU is the webs largest repository of real-world videos specially designed for language learning.

Depending on the video, this may mean a TV clip, a newscast, a commercial, movie trailer or an interview in the target language. The videos have been embedded with interactive transcripts that turn them from normal video clips to mini language lessons.The dialogues, lines or narration in the v ideos come with real-time captions that allow you to follow along.

When you hover over the words in the captions, you get a full menu of information on that word including translation, meaning, pronunciation and usage. So you not only get a vocabulary lesson in context, you learn ever ything else about that word.FluentU has a wide variety of videos, including movie trailers, funny commercials and web series, as you can see here:FluentU App Browse Screen.FluentU has interactive captions that let you tap on any word to see an image, definition, audio and useful examples.

It uses that vocab to give you a 100% personalized experience by recommending videos and examples.Target SkillWith the FluentU system, youre given access to big picture (video) and the details (interactive captions) at the sa me time. Because of the pairing of videos and interactive transcripts, youll be learning different skills. Youll learn vocabularyâ€"vocabulary thats embedded in a memorable visual context. Your ears will become more attuned to the target language as you listen how native speakers take their language for a spin.And using the transcripts, you can get plenty of speaking practice talking along with the video clip. You can also pick up gems of grammar as you dive deeper into the words through interactive features.AestheticsThe FluentU interface is smooth and instinctive. Youll get the sense that the team that developed it had you, the language learner, in mind.The videos are not only technically sound, theyve been meticulously handpicked with language learning in mind.The explanations are written to be helpful and informative, but not to the point of being overwhelming.Pimsleur ReviewBased on the memory research of Dr. Pimsleur, which placed concepts like spaced repetition on the linguis tic map, the Pimsleur language program is one of the most well-known and widely-used language products today. As with any program, there are those people who swear by it, and others who dont so much. Lets see how Pimsleur fares with the factors we talked about earlier.PriceDepending on the language, a single course (one level) can run you over $100. A comprehensive course usually has three levels, and some, like Spanish, even have five. Needless to say, this is one of the more expensive language programs around. However, you can lower the cost by buying more than one level bundled.Audio CDs, software and downloadable files are available. Typically, 30 lessons, 30 minutes each.Medium of InstructionPimsleur is an audio-based programâ€"which is great if youre a multitasker and want to learn a language while commuting, waiting for a friend or walking your dog. Less so if youre the type who wants to see texts, faces or graphics while learning.Content DepthYoure advised to just stick to o ne 30-minute session a day. Following that, a whole level would take you about a month.The lessons open with a conversation by native speakers. This dialogue then becomes the basis for the lesson. Youll be brought up to speed with clever drills, prompts and repetition. Youll not only learn new vocabulary, but also come to understand what the dialogue was all about.The lessons are phrase-centric. Meaning youll not be learning just words, but bunches of them. Around five phrases will be introduced for each lesson, and some old ones will be reviewed later on. The lessons are interactive, meaning that youll not only be prompted by the teacher to repeat after her, but youll be asked to answer some questions, too.The lessons are placed within useful context and situations to help you imagine how and when to use what youve learned. Youll learn the basics in this course, like greetings and pleasantries. And if youre a businessperson who travels, youll probably find the audio lessons quite u seful for your purposes.Pimsleur believes in core vocabulary, focusing only on the most useful and most common words in the target language.The repetition in the lessons may be a double-edged sword for some: You get the phrases drilled into long-term memory, but this also drags out the lessons quite a bit.Some grammar is explained from time to time, but you get the sense that its not really at the heart of the lessons.Formal styles of communication are used in these lessonsâ€"like the kind of language you use if youre talking to an elder or a complete stranger.Target SkillsIts obvious that this program hones in on your speaking and pronunciation skills. Youll find plenty of opportunities to talk in the target language, albeit parroting the teacher. But as long as you perform the activities asked, your verbal skills will improve.Youll also really improve your listening skills, familiarizing yourself with the tone, melody and cadence of the target language, and be able to make out ind ividual words with no visual prompts. Youll get help with your intonation from native speakers whose dialogues provide handy contexts.AestheticsTheres not much to go through here in terms of the visuals, because hey, the system is in audio. But the sounds are sharp enough to hear the tonal rises and falls of the target language.Rosetta Stone ReviewThere actually is a Rosetta Stone, which is a stone slab containing inscriptions in three different languages, including Greek. This stone slab became the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. Why dont you pay it a visit in the British Museum? But for our purposes here, were looking at the Rosetta Stone language learning software, one of the biggest names in language education today.PriceDepending on the target language, prices of comprehensive courses (three levels) hover around the $150-$200 level. This includes a CD with software you need to install on your computer.SpanishFrenchGermanChineseJapaneseItalianArabicKoreanPortugueseYou can now also purchase access via subscriptions ranging from three months to two years.You also have the option to purchase in-product live tutoring from native speakers.Medium of InstructionThe biggest thing you need to remember about Rosetta Stone is that its a target-language-based undertaking. Meaning, no, you dont get any translations or English at all. Proceedings are to take place in the target language and youre going to have some figuring out to do. (Plenty of photos are provided to help you.)Text and audio are in the target language. Rosetta is immersive in that sense.Content DepthRosetta Stone is a software program that contains audio-visual lessons. Think of it as a superpowered flashcard application. Expect to see plenty of pictures.Because of the pictures proffered, youll find yourself able to decipher the meanings of the words without any translation. For example, in the Spanish program, you will see lápiz  being paired with a clear picture of a pencil. No translatio n will be needed to catch the drift on that one. (And then later on, the Rosetta Stone software program will make a game out of it, by asking you to pair the picture with the word and vice versa.)Not a whole lot of vocabulary will be taught, because like Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone also only carries core vocabulary. For vocabulary fare that goes beyond words like man, book and table, youre going to have to do your own research outside the Rosetta Stone interface.One of the most useful features of the program is that it gives you access to native speakers of your target language. Book sessions and youll be in for a live tutoring experience from competent and patient coaches. And get this, they stick to the script of talking (and teaching) in the target language. So, no English.This, by far, is the most immersive element of the whole program, and I encourage you to utilize every minute of those sessions.Target SkillBecause everything is done in the target language, your skills of comprehe nsion in the target language are greatly increased. Youll be able to negotiate meaning and learn the language without being encumbered by the slow process of translating one word to another.Youll also hone your listening skills in the target language. In addition, your pronunciation skills can get a boost from the speech recognition feature, where you can actually compare how you speak with a native.And, as always, Rosetta Stone is great for learning vocabulary. Youll always have a visual component (pictures!) with which to remember words.AestheticsRosetta Stone does excel in beauty and form.The installation of the software is pretty straightforward. The interface is very instinctive and approachable. You wont lose your way as you progress along the course activities. If youre looking for true target language immersion, and dont easily get disoriented when you dont hear English for a few minutes, then this ones for you.And unlike some language programs that arent particularly clicka ble, Rosetta Stone is pretty responsive and interactive.The pictures are professionally taken, and some of the best in the field of language learning. These visuals can practically embed themselves into your memory.Audio-wise, Rosetta is clear and crisp, and allows you to hear very specific sounds of the target language. Surprisingly, while you often may think of this program primarily for its visuals, you may find it compares favorably to other programs specifically in terms of audio.Assimil ReviewAssimil programs are produced by a French company and are big in Europe. Assimil is a favorite material of many translators and polyglots including Luca Lampariello, the fellow behind the site The Polyglot Dream.In a way, Assimil has similarities with both Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone. Its like Pimsleur in that its audio-based, and its like Rosetta Stone in that the audio is exclusively in the target language.PriceDepending on the language course, the program can be purchased for a reasonab le price. Included will be downloadable audio files containing the lessons, with an accompanying workbook.Medium of InstructionAs mentioned before, Assimil is audio-driven, although it comes with a book that contains transcripts of the dialogues as well as translations of them. Only the target language is heard on the audio files.Explicit grammar explanations only come every once in awhile and they are but little footnotes in the workbook. The method is sentence-centric. Meaning youll be learning vocabulary and grammar in the context of dialogues and the conversational to-and-fro of sentences.Content DepthEach lesson can be finished in 30 minutes. The course comes with 100 lessons, with each lesson covering around five pages in the workbook. The lesson typically opens with a staged dialogue, which gradually gets longer. The sentences also become more complex as you move along through the course.The first 50 lessons are known as the passive wave because they involve plenty of listeni ng and attuning yourself to the intonations, inflections and flow of the target language. In the second wave, from the 51st lesson on, exercises and reviews of past lessons are integrated, and the learner moves into a more active role from here on out.In the 100 lessons, youll learn about 2,000 words.Target SkillYour listening skills will really be developed in this course. And because of the dialogue format, youll start to get a feel for conversations in the target language. You may not actually get to B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages  (CEFR) as promised by the folks behind the program, but youll definitely be able to communicate with native speakers in everyday situations.Also, by experiencing appropriate contexts for vocabulary, youll retain a considerable number of words in your long-term memory.AestheticsAudio-wise, the recordings are clear and you wont have any problem hearing whats being said. Speedwise, the speakers enunciate well and even seem to purposely slow down, especially in the early parts of the program.The accompanying workbook admittedly may not be a big hit with some learners. The pages can come across as somewhat cluttered, and dont offer much in the way of color.That said, this is a great way of packing in practice if thats primarily what you want. The accompanying workbook is fat with useful content and gives you an insightful behind-the-scenes look at what you hear in the audio. The precise translations provide a welcome relief for learners who may find audio-only or full immersion a tad bit challenging.Duolingo ReviewDuolingo has plenty of world languages under its belt, with more under development. It claims its the most popular way to learn a language with its millions-strong userbase. Its easy to use as an app, and its first compelling feature might be its unbeatable price.PriceFree. You wont shell out a single dollar for Duolingo. (The company makes money through a crowdsourced translation service.)Med ium of InstructionDuolingo lessons are not really lessons, but a bunch of activities done one after the other. The modules take you on a series of tasks you need to perform, like pairing words with their correct translations, or sequencing words in order to come up with a grammatically-correct sentence. By performing the activities, the idea is that youll embed the lessons and words into your long-term memory.Duolingo has a game-ified philosophy when it comes to language learning. The whole interface looks like a game where you earn points for correct answers. The progress bars gives you a visual indication of your performance, and the program  gives you a heads-up on the specific words and areas that need improvement.Content DepthBecause of the nature of the exercises and activities, theres also a limit on the things that you can learn through Duolingo. The program is great when it comes to learning vocabulary with spaced repetition technology, and decent when it comes to grammar e xplanations. Its also great at deconstructing language into its word components.In summary, its a good basics course, but cannot really be a standalone source for someone who wants to learn a language. Duolingo is best as a supplement to more robust content.Target SkillDuolingo allows you to practice your reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. But dont expect to become fluent just from using this program. At best, it scratches only the surface of these skills.For example, more focus could be given to really speaking the language, instead of just enunciation. In Duolingo, youre only asked to repeat what you hear, and theres really not a strong communicative component.But that said, your basic skills do get a workout.AestheticsI have only great things to say about the interface of Duolingo. The graphics, colors, fonts, animations, icons, etc., are all synced to give you an experience thats so smooth and so instinctive, you begin to wonder if the thing is really actually free .Duolingo is one of the most visually zen programs I have seen in the field. Kudos to those behind the great design.So there you have it! Five different programs, five different sets of strengths and focuses. All you have to do is match them with your needs and you can have something that works for you.Again, there’s really no objectively best language learning program out there.Only whats best for you.And the great thing is that you get to decide what that is for yourself.

Discount Tutor Shack Promotions

Discount Tutor Shack PromotionsTutor Shack and other unique toy shops have been around for decades in the USA. The business started off selling blank coloring pages as a means of teaching children how to color. Some would use the pages to learn different colors that they might not have seen before.These small stores were often around early on in the color wars between the popular kids colors red and blue. Some used this as a way to give kids the perfect incentive to try to sell their color. It was something they could do to earn a little extra money, even though they had nothing to color!More recently, the business has become a place for the trusted color names to do some marketing. These toy stores are known to sponsor a particular type of sports event or special event. They will offer special toys for the sports fan. Some of these come with a player named after the store.For example, if you were buying some specially made teddy bears for your child for Christmas, a small part of th e sale would be getting the same toy from this particular store.

Chemistry A Study of Matter Worksheet Episode 901 Review Answers

Chemistry A Study of Matter Worksheet Episode 901 Review AnswersWell, in Chemistry A Study of Matter Worksheet Episode 901 review answers to the big questions, 'how do we know that?' and 'when will science lead us to a new understanding?'The answer to the first question is a yes, because we know that chemistry has always been 'science on the move' from its earliest days. Not until recently, did we finally have a clear theory that chemistry could study the behavior of matter at the atomic level and then move on to the molecular level. This was actually the first time since early chemistry that such large-scale physics had been done.At present, all of the big scientific concepts are simply a product of rapid development, and therefore science has a long way to go before it can develop consistent theories. Some scientists still argue over whether or not this is true, but there is no denying that science is an ever-evolving discipline that continually provides the fundamental and most im portant answers to questions that we want to answer. As the questions become more specific, the answer becomes more specific, and thus we see that one day the original question becomes, 'how do we know?'It was not until the discovery of oxygen that chemistry had a working theory to answer the question, 'when will science lead us to a new understanding?' So far we have just been talking about the theory of nature and have not discussed any specific experiments. Now let's take a look at the method of experimenting that is used today, and the conclusions that we can draw about the kind of relationship between matter and its atmosphere.Let's try to ask this question another way, instead of trying to figure out the answer, try asking what it might tell us about nature's interaction with us. It is very possible that this approach to studying nature is the only thing that will work and will make the question, 'how do we know that?' much more meaningful.If you want to find out more about th is, you will need to know a little bit about the physical interaction between atoms and their surroundings, and how this interacts with the forces between atoms and the surrounding medium. One way to do this is to study the physical motion of the atom itself, and to study how it is affected by the surroundings and the forces it encounters.Of course, by doing this you will learn a lot more than just the relationship between atom and medium, and these two variables, and it's all by learning about the movements of the atoms themselves. This is the key to understanding 'how do we know that?'

The Importance of Translation Chemistry

The Importance of Translation ChemistryIf you are currently planning to undertake a university program in a foreign country, it is important that you have the most complete grasp of the 'translation chemistry' in your own country. There are many ways that individuals can obtain this, but it is important to understand the basics and make sure that you will be able to succeed if you are a student who plans to go abroad.Many individuals seek out numerous methods to translate their own work. In some cases, these individuals will utilize an online translator that they purchase from an agency. The cost of these services can be considerably cheaper than those services that you might find at your local library.In other instances, individuals do not even want to go into a university setting because they would rather complete translations themselves. If you're in such a situation, you should first determine if you really want to learn the translation science. Once you've decided that you do, t here are several areas that you need to consider. The following paragraphs will discuss a few of these areas.First, the first thing that you need to think about is your level of proficiency. If you are not an advanced individual who can properly handle the language to successfully accomplish the task of translation, you will need to find a more intensive program that can help you reach your full potential. In some cases, you may need to do a bit of additional study to truly succeed, but it's important to realize that you can always enroll in further education or community college to further your studies.The next thing that you need to look at is your reading comprehension. For individuals that can read and write, learning to read and write the appropriate language is very essential to this process. However, as soon as you begin reading in the wrong tongue, you'll be unable to learn to comprehend and speak in the right language.Next, you may want to participatein discussion groups. T his can also be useful because individuals who live in similar surroundings often meet in this type of venue to exchange ideas and share experiences. This can be particularly useful if you have a roommate. You can ask him/her to help you learn to read and write the language by participating in the discussion group and practicing your new skills with them.Finally, you will want to find a few local libraries that have a number of open areas that you can borrow from. By checking out these items, you can make sure that you have all of the materials that you need to practice your new language skills, and you can even include a computer to keep track of your progress.
