I finished the italki 2014 World Cup Language Challenge!

I finished the italki 2014 World Cup Language Challenge! Lindsaydoeslanguages is blogging about her World Cup Language Challenge and we’re reposting here to share with the entire italki Community. This blog post  originally was posted  on  Lindsaydoeslanguages.com  website. Well, that’s it! It’s over! 25 lessons in 8 weeks sounds like quite the challenge, and at times, it definitely was. So today I want to share some things I did (and didn’t) do during the italki World Cup Language Challenge â€" and what I want to do next time to make it even better and more productive. Things I did. Book in advance I booked all my lessons right at the start â€" with the exception of one that a tutor couldn’t do that I rebooked later on. Would I do this again? Yes! Although 2 months is quite a long time and unexpected trips and other exciting (or not so exciting â€" I’m looking at you essays!) things pop up, it really helped with motivation to have the structure there from the outset. No other study I just had my italki lessons for learning Portuguese. I didn’t get my head stuck in a grammar book (or any other book for that matter) and I really enjoyed just speaking with people, in a natural way about normal stuff. Would I do this again? Yes and no. I’d love to try this out with other skills. For example, I’d love to see how far I could get with just reading in a language, like Dani over at I Simply Love Languages is doing right now with Catalan, or just listening. You know, just for fun. A weekly challenge Setting myself the weekly goals worked a treat at keeping me on the ball. I know the World Cup is over now but I genuinely wrote that sentence with no football puns intended. Honest. Would I do it again? Yes! Little goals are fab because you can constantly achieve something. Saying “I want to speak ___ fluently by ___” is great, but you never feel like you’ve got anywhere if you don’t set mini goals along the way too! Change my challenges a bit Despite setting myself these goals and finding them a great help, I wasn’t afraid to change them along the way if they didn’t quite fit. For example, week 7, I didn’t do a video at all and decided to try my hand at a bit of writing in Portuguese. Would I do it again? Yes! Obviously, changing a goal of “learning 10 words a day” to “learning 1 word a day” is a slight over exageration and won’t quite be effective, but if you feel something is too easy (see week 3!) then don’t be afraid to up your goals. And if it’s not a case of upping them, but rather lowering them, don’t! Keep your goal the same, just perhaps change how long you give yourself to achieve it, or how you’re going to measure it. Lots of different teachers I had a grand total of 9 different tutors for the challenge! Murillo, Luana, Danillo, Fernanda, Valdecir, Lucas, Sophia, Wesley and Renan. Phew. I wanted a range of European and Brazilian speakers as well as male and female just to mix things up a bit. Would I do it again? Hmm..pros and cons. It was good for this challenge because I just wanted to talk to lots of people but to really progress quickly I think one tutor to get to know you may be better. That said, I really enjoyed meeting such a range of Portuguese speakers! Things I didn’t do. Write on the italki notebook I didn’t do this for the New Year Language Challenge either. I’m lazy! Would I not do this again? It depends. For Portuguese, my main focus was speaking so the Notebook wasn’t a top priority â€" especially if I had a couple of back to back lessons! If I wanted to achieve a higher level in a language then I’d definitely make the effort to use the Notebook after each lesson. Write notes I didn’t even write any personal notes. Living on the edge. Would I not do this again? I don’t know. I’ve not written language notes on cold hard paper for a while despite being a bit of a stubborn one when it comes to technology and loving an actual paper book in my hands. Maybe I should treat myself to a fancy notebook next time! Worry about progress Hakuna Matata! The lack of exams, tests or necessity took the stress of speedy progress off. Phew. Would I not do it again? Yes! I love learning languages for the fun of it rather than to pass an exam. I can’t wait until I have the time to devote to a new language in this way! Oh, and one more thing I did do was make videos throughout. Head over to my YouTube channel to check them out if you missed any. In the meantime, here’s the video for my final weekly goal â€" all about idioms. And if you enjoy, don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube. There’s even a button to do it at the top right hand side of this page. Easy peasy! And if you’ve been inspired to learn Portuguese then be sure to enter my very first giveaway here on the blog to win some goodies to get you started! Entries close August 4th at 23.59 GMT.

Grammar Schools - Tutor Hunt Blog

Grammar Schools Grammar Schools Grammar SchoolsSchoolsThe topic of grammar schools has always been a contentious one - by having what is effectively an entrance exam, do they pave a privileged path for certain children, leading them towards opportunity and prosperity, and consign those who did not perform well enough on that one day, when they were only eleven years old, to a second rate education? Many would say that this is being overly dramatic - there is, in theory, nothing subsidiary about state schools in comparison to grammar schools. A child of ability will flourish in any environment, as long as they are given opportunity: this is the power of education. Teresa May`s recent campaign to overturn the ban on creating new grammar schools has angered many people. Her most anodyne of opponents have stated that grammar schools do not actually provide better education, and a pupil who passes their eleven plus would do just as well if they attended a state comprehensive. The Education Policy Institute conducted a thorough data analysis, and concluded that `Once prior attainment and pupil background is taken into consideration, we find no overall attainment impact of grammar schools, either positive or negative.` More vociferous opponents of Teresa May`s proposal have said that grammar schools only help to widen the divide between children from affluent backgrounds, and those from average or lower income families. With grammar schools tending to crop up in more prosperous areas, it is easy to see the correlation here. There is also evidence that many teachers are drawn to grammar schools, as they relish the opportunity of working with children who are more intellectually able; and so there is an ever greater impoverishment of teachers to supply the needs of comprehensive schools. Teresa May has argued that increasing the number of grammar schools will enhance social mobility - a claim severely critiqued by many in the education sector. Malcolm Trobe, acting general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, has said, in reference to the Education Policy Institute report, `creating more selective schools will not raise overall educational standards in England and is likely to widen the attainment gap between rich and poor children,` The decision by Teresa May to increase the number of grammar schools is a radical volte-face, going against the policy of the last five decades. Since the late 1960`s there has been a trend towards comprehensive schools. Labour`s Education minister Tony Crosland launched a vehement campaign to `destroy every *expletive deleted* grammar school in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.` This impassioned policy was much to do with reforming the ideology of privilege, as it was to reform the secondary schooling system. It was a bold riposte against the conservatism of his opponents, and until Teresa May`s September statement, where she said she would end the ban on constructing new Grammar Schools, it was the prevailing opinion of almost every subsequent political party. By the 1980`s most of the grammar schools throughout the United Kingdom had either closed, or converted to comprehensives. In the 1995 Labour Party Conference, the Education Spokesman David Blunkett promised that there wou ld never be an increase of selective schools under a Labour government. The history of state funded Grammar schools has its roots in the mid 1940`s. RA Butler`s 1944 education reforms mandated that every child of ability should have access to further education. As innocuous as this sounds today, it was such an important reform, because it stressed the ability of the child, over the affluence and social standing of its parents. The pertinent part of the reform here is `child of ability.` Only those children of sufficient intellect were guaranteed a place at a grammar school. The eleven plus exam was thus formed: if a child passed they would gain admittance to their local Grammar school; if they failed, they were for the local secondary modern school. As of 2016 there are only around 160 grammar schools in the United kingdom. Of course there are many private schools that have a rigorous selection procedure, but the trend for assessing and segregating children for their admittance into secondary state schools has been unpopular for many decades. Will Teresa May`s decision to permit the construction of new grammar schools be see as a progressive move? Will her decision engender further division between the rich and poor, or is she courageously addressing the issue of the UK`s failing Pisa ranking (measuring maths and reading abilities), which in 2013 publications, had the UK reaching only 23rd position, falling behind Belgium, France and Germany? 3 years ago0Add a Comment

5 math basics that will help your kid succeed in the subject - ALOHA Mind Math

5 math basics that will help your kid succeed in the subject William Velez, the associate head for undergraduate affairs in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona, emphasizes the importance of mathematics in this article. This is very true, and even where younger children are concerned, providing them with a solid foundation in math will help them a lot. Here is a look at five of the basics of math, and how they help kids: Numbers and counting: Starting with the basics, it is the knowledge of numbers that lays the foundation for handling more complex information in the world around as the child gets older. 5 math basics that will help your kid succeed in the subjectImage courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwworks/4274040778/ Collections and measurement: Grouping of data, as well as different ways of measuring data may sound like simple concepts, but we all know how important these are in any field of work as adults. When children get a clear understanding of these at a young age, they will find it much easier to handle later in life. Algebra: This is one subject that most of us would have groaned about when we were young, but the applications of recognizing patterns and solving equations will start making a lot more sense along the way. Geometry: Learning the concepts behind shapes, and using the same to solve problems in the spatial world can be a very exciting introduction for children. This not only provides a good foundation for engineering subjects later, it is also essential for basic skills such as assessing distances or reading a map. Math Operations: From the initial wonder of holding up fingers for simple addition, to discovering the wonders of multiplication and division, even kids will easily understand the practical simple applications of these operations. When they learn to calculate the value of a yearned for toy, or how to save up their pocket money to afford it, it is a simplistic view of all the more complicated operations they would need to handle as they grow up. Along with building a solid math foundation, if you are wondering how to make it more fun for your child to learn the fundamentals, do check out our math programs at ALOHA. We focus on providing the fundamentals in an interesting way, and our Abacus methodology also helps in overall brain development and improving confidence levels in your child.

The Association Method for Foreign Language Learners

The Association Method for Foreign Language Learners Mastering any foreign language inevitably requires to memorize a great number of new words and one of the main problems that each student have to solve is how to keep in mind all these unfamiliar words and their meanings. There are many memorizing techniques that can be applied to facilitate this task and one of them is the method of phonetic (sound) associations. This method is based on the idea that there are words (or parts of words) in all languages of the world that sound similar even if they have different meanings. These phonetic analogies exist in any languages whether it English, Chinese, Russian or Arabic. For example, Italian word “sei” (six) sounds like English “say”. The method of phonetic  associations  was developed by a professor of psychology Richard Chatham Atkinson at Stanford University in the early 1970s. Atkinson is widely recognized for his scientific and academic achievements. He conducted research on mathematical models of human memory and cognition and he is co-author of the theory of multi-store model of human memory. Atkinson and his colleagues carried out experiments on applying associations to the process of learning language. During this research one group of students was memorizing Russian words using the keyword method while the test group was learning the same words using conventional learning techniques. The “key words” in these experiments were the phonetic associations to the target words and the research revealed the efficiency of this method. At present the method of learning foreign languages using phonetic associations is applied all over the world. Let’s look through the main principles of this technique. The gist of the method is that it is necessary to find a consonant word to each foreign term, e.g. a word in your native language that sounds similar to the foreign term. The complete coincidence between consonant and foreign word is not needed, it is enough if just a part of the word sounds identically. After that it is necessary to think up a short semantic expression with this consonant word and the translation. This can be  any expression with this word that comes to your mind. Let us take a Russian word “????” (fish). In English word “rib” sounds similar to “????”. Now we need to think out an expression with the word “rib” and the translation “fish”. Let it be “All cats like fish ribs”. Another example, an Italian word “ragazzo” (boy). The first part of this word sounds like “rug” and the first expression that comes to my mind is “Poor boy slept on a rug”. That is all! You do not need to cram the exact translation, only your own short sentence that contains similar sounding word in English and the translation. It is recommended to keep some simple rules using this method. It is important to choose the matching words on the basis of pronunciation but not a correct spelling. Besides, do not compose long and complicated sentences, the first association that comes to your mind is the best one, even if it is silly or funny. The associations related to you personally are the most efficient. So always try to connect your associations with some events from your life. There are defenders and opponents of this method and there are many other useful memorising technics. Each person may choose the method which is the most efficient for his mind. But it is undoubtedly that properly used association method can be successfully applied not only for learning the foreign words but also in many others study tasks. It allows to simplify and speed up the process of learning which is vitally important in our rapidly changing world. That is why this memorizing method is widely used by university tutors and private teachers. The method of phonetic associations allows to enrich the student’s vocabulary and it also stimulates the development of memory and imagination. TutorZ.com offers a wide choice of qualified and enthusiastic  private tutors who would love to help students with studying  any language: ESL, German, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, Turkish, Portuguese, Polish, Korean, Greek, etc. The Association Method for Foreign Language Learners Mastering any foreign language inevitably requires to memorize a great number of new words and one of the main problems that each student have to solve is how to keep in mind all these unfamiliar words and their meanings.

Why Its Important to Learn So Many Things at Once

Why It's Important to Learn So Many Things at OnceAs an Arts chemistry student, you have a lot of homework to get through in your first year. While it can be easy to procrastinate, it's actually a better idea to tackle all the work when you're fresh and not worn out. Some of the more complicated subjects like algebra or calculus can make even more students look for help in order to succeed.The most common misconception is that it's a mistake to take a beginner's class. Most parents want their kids to get as much education as possible, but a beginner's class doesn't need to cover basic courses. However, if you do decide to take a class such as arts chemistry, you should go into it with the right mindset.A good professor will introduce their subject without making any assumptions about your level of knowledge. They'll also be willing to explain how much you know and what you need to do to get there. In order to be successful, you need to listen and learn, not just pay attention.While C hemistry is a difficult subject, the same can be said for many other sciences. There are multiple classes that can become quite hard, and if you happen to lack a background in the subject, there are plenty of other options for a good degree. If you plan on taking advanced college classes, choose one that focuses on one particular area.If you're already in your first year of college, you may find it easier to take an introductory class in your first year. It won't be as taxing as an advanced course, but it will get you off the ground. Make sure that you do a good job of studying before you take these classes, and get yourself a mentor to help you. Getting a good education is not about copying what you see in popular movies, but making the learning process as real as possible.If you're already working with a professor or a teacher to learn, make sure you keep the good chemistry. You can do a study guide for a course in Art's chemistry, and if you remember the different types of substa nces that can be found in the book, you'll be able to relate it to your life while studying. There are also free online guides, so make sure you check out what's available.Arts chemistry is not the easiest science, but it's not the hardest either. It's simply about learning to appreciate the subject. Working hard to understand and apply the information you're giving can be the most rewarding part of your learning experience.

What Is Periodic Chemistry?

What Is Periodic Chemistry?Have you ever wondered what is periodic chemistry? Many people know that this term is used in many cases to describe the study of things that involve mass. But if you would like to learn more about it, this article is for you.Periodic chemistry is a name given to a special kind of science that deals with materials and their properties. There are many factors to consider when doing a periodic chart. Things like:Some materials have a specific tendency or property in specific circumstances, and in order to measure this, it is important to know what is the particular class of materials it fits into. One can then determine how to make a periodic chart.When making a periodic chart, it is essential to check on the chemical reaction between the ingredients that will form the substance. This process is called equilibrium and is one of the fundamental concepts in science. If the equilibrium is disturbed, so will the properties of the substance change. If you do not f ully understand equilibrium, it is best to go and learn about it.Once the equilibrium is corrected, the periodic chart is complete. All that is left now is to set up a laboratory and examine the results. Another method to check if you made the right decision is to test the substances that have been used. The amount of growth that they generate will tell you whether the periodic chart was correct or not.Any person can make a periodic chart. It is best to look at the most common materials and take note of the properties. These can be used to create a periodic chart.Periodic chemistry has been a great way of making things more useful. Through the years, it has been used to analyze any situation where things could have changed their state. If this is something that interest you, check out some of the resources out there.

Kudos To The Great Work Done By Chemistry Tutor From Tutor Pace

Kudos To The Great Work Done By Chemistry Tutor From Tutor Pace 0SHARESShare I wish to introduce myself as Gabriel, a ninth grader in a public school in Texas. Well, my experience with Tutor Pace is amazing and I want to share it with you. I am not that good at science- having exam fear, pulling all nighters before science tests- the hell of it.     And, I shiver at chemistry which haunts me even in sleeps…. Those equations, formulas, symbols…I shrivel before the day of chemistry test. From the day 1 of my chemistry classes this year, I was like a fish out of water and trembled in labs. Poor grades in the first test, poorer grades in second test… it went on like that One of my friends had the same experience; she searched the web and picked up a list of online tutoring services. She chose Tutor Pace for their rates and services and agreed for a free trial session with them. Chemistry was at her finger tips from then and now she is all for Tutor Pace. She recommended the same for me too. I did not believe at first that tutors could be so friendly, explanatory and easy to go in their attitudes. I started with a free trial session in Chemistry for 30 minutes from Tutor Pace. It was about gas laws and the tutor was mind blowing…easy explanations and gripping in presentation. I did not feel the fleeting of time. So engaging was he. (Now he is my favorite tutor). Ok, I continued with a month’s package for Chemistry tutoring and am happy with my tutor’s explanations, problem solving and instant solutions and feedback. Atoms, Boyle’s law- you could ask me anything in Chemistry now. Wonderful experience and safe environment. I really feel blessed to be part of Tutor Pace experience. I’ll continue to be so.

Physical and chemical changes

Physical and chemical changes Physical and Chemical Changes Chemistry is a study of matter, this includes learning about the physical and the chemical properties of matter. There are different types of matter such as solids, liquids and gases. Different atoms react and form molecules, molecules combine and form compounds, compounds when mixed in different proportions form mixtures. Therefore change is inevitable during reactions. When the change is analyzed it can be of two types either a physical change or a chemical change. Physical Change definition: The change which effects only the physical properties of the compound leaving the composition of the compound unaltered is called a physical change. During a physical change there are no new products formed. This means the physical change is a temporary change. These changes effect either the shape, color, texture, temperature, change in state (either due to the melting point or the boiling point of the substance), density, viscosity, malleability, solubility and any other physical property. Physical change and its effect on water: The composition of water remains the same at different temperatures but there is a change in its physical state, hence this example can be best used to understand the physical change of substances. Water when reaches its boiling point changes to water vapor. There is a change in the state of water from liquid to gaseous state but the composition of the H2O molecule remains the same. Water when reaches the freezing point turns into ice. Here there is a change in the physical state of the matter from liquid to solid but there is no change in the composition of the water molecules. Change in the state: A substance can exists in three states of matter solid, liquid and gases. Solids is a state of matter where the particles are closely bound to each other. A solid substance has a fixed shape and occupies a fixed volume. The particle in a solid state do not have freedom of movement due to its rigid structure. Examples of a solid substance are wood, paper, glass, iron etc. Liquids is a state of matter where there is some space between the particles. A liquid substance has the quality to take the shape of the container it is stored within. Example of liquids are water, juices, petroleum, oils etc. Gases is a state of matter where the particles are freely spaced. There is a lot of freedom of movement between the particles when compared to the other states of matter. Hence the gases have no fixed shape. Example for the gases are water vapor, oxygen, nitrogen and many more. The change from one state to matter to another can be classified as follows: Type of change Change in state of matter Boiling, evaporation Causes liquid change into gaseous state. Melting, fusion Causes solid change into liquid state. Sublimation Causes solid change into gaseous state. Deposition Causes gases change into solid state. Condensation, liquefaction Causes gases change into liquid state. Freezing, solidification Causes liquid change into solid state. Chemical change definition: The change which effects the chemical properties of the compound due to which the composition of the substance changes is called a chemical change. During a chemical change there are new products formed. These changes effect the molecular arrangement of the atoms in a substance due to which the change is permanent. Example for the physical and chemical changes. Physical Change Examples Chemical change Examples Formation of ice from water. Combustion of any substance. Water boiling into water vapor. Acid and bases reacting to form salt and water. Folding of a sheet of paper. Cooking and digestion of food. Deposition Causes gases change into solid state. Melting of the candle wax. Rusting of the iron rod. Mixing sand into a water tank. Fireworks in the sky. Cutting the glass edges. The process of photosynthesis in the plants. Cutting the glass edges. The process of photosynthesis in the plants. Melting of the ice cream. Formation of yogurt from milk. Reversible reactions and irreversible reactions: Reactions are of two types one is reversible reaction and the other is the irreversible reaction. The reaction in which the products can be changed back to the reactants by changing some physical properties of the reaction is called as the reversible reaction. It is usually observed that the reversible reactions are physical change reactions. As there is no quantitative change in the reactants and the products. Example for a reversible reaction: The reaction in which the reactants cannot be changed back to the products is called as the irreversible reaction. Most of the chemical reactions are irreversible reactions as the composition of products is different to that of the reactants. Example for an irreversible chemical reaction: The above example is an acid base reaction where the salt (NaCl) and water is formed. Conservation of Mass: During a physical change the mass of the substance can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence the mass is conserved due to which the initial substance can be regained. During a chemical reaction the mass of the substance is not conserved. This implies that the mass of the initial substance can be different from the mass of the products as the composition of the substance is changed. This means the molecular structure between the atoms is changed due to which the initial substance cannot be regained.
