The Secret to Making Your Brain Learn a New Language Fast

The Secret to Making Your Brain Learn a New Language Fast Youve always wanted to learn a new language. In fact, its top three in your bucket list. You were originally encouraged because everybody selling language products said it was easy.Then reality hit. Boom!You were getting nowhere. You tried everything but nothing works! You were bored to tears and ready to give up.But thank heavens you found this post at FluentU, because guess what? Theres hope.There is a better way.  What if I told you that there’s one thing you can do that will skyrocket your learning?And what if I tell you that it has been proven to work over and over, and you don’t even have to dial a 1-800 number for it?Sounds good? Great!We need a proper set-up to best understand this effective secret, so lets start with a short background on the language learning process. The Secret to Making Your Brain Learn a New Language Fast: The 6 Stages of Language LearningUnless you’re a linguistic genius, learning a new language will require you to go through these phases: Intro duction, Recognition, Familiarization, Proficiency, Deeper Proficiency and Mastery.IntroductionThis first stage refers to the initial few times you come across a language. This may come in the form of overhearing native Korean speakers in the subway or pressing the wrong key on the remote and ending up watching a French flick. You get your first tastes of the language and find the utterances weird or funny. It’s like Jim Carrey sounding off his gibberish antics.RecognitionYoull enter this next stage when, because of repeated presentations, you are now able to pick out the language from other languages. You may recognize the tones, rhythms and guttural utterances, or you may also recognize patternsâ€"such as the most commonly repeated letters. This means that you may not understand anything on a newscast in Japan, for example, but you know it’s Japanese.FamiliarizationFamiliarization is an advanced form of recognition in which you know the most fundamental elements of the languag e. For example, you know how to say thank you, please or good morning in Spanish. Perhaps you can also count in the language. You wield the most basic vocabulary and know the equivalence of words like house, girl, boy or beautiful.ProficiencyWhen you are able to converse naturally with a native speaker, you are said to be proficient. Your grammar may not be perfect, but you know the rules well enough and hold sufficient vocabulary to make yourself understandable to a native speaker.Deeper ProficiencyDeeper Proficiency comes next, and is an advanced stage where you speak the language as well as a native speaker. You are well informed in the nuances of the tongue and hold equal, if not more, vocabulary than the natives.MasteryMastery happens when you not only converse just as well as a native speaker, but you are able to talk formally or academically in the adapted language as well. This higher form of discourse, which is the result of years of training and immersion, is something tha t even native speakers don’t aspire to.Most people stay in the Familiarization phase all their lives. They may not have enough time or drive to get to the next level, or their study strategies are so ineffective that they bore themselves to tears.Many people also find themselves there because advancing to the next stage, Proficiency, requires a great deal of work. For example, you are considered proficient in the Chinese language only when you are able to understand 2,000 characters.Well who has the time to have 2,000 characters down pat?!With all that’s going on in our daily lives, learning a new language, unless our very livelihood depends on it, usually goes to the back burner. Most people never even see  the numerous ways you can make more time for language learning and just give up.But just like I said, theres a much better way.Repetition vs. Effective RepetitionOkay, I let the cat out of the bag with the title.What I’m referring to here is repetition.No, not really. What I’m really talking about is effective repetition.There’s a huge difference between the two. Mere repetition will not cut it. We need to be very careful because the much exalted concept of repetition just might be the fastest way to make a subject bland and boring.Try memorizing a 100-word vocabulary list from a piece of paper.Not so easy, is it? Notice that you can’t easily store the words in your long-term memory no matter how hard you try. That’s what pushing a rock uphill feels like.In fact, repetition used in this manner will only make your goals harder to reach because the brain will only pay attention to things that are novel, surprising and shocking, and there’s nothing duller than a laundry list of vocabulary words given by a teacher to be memorized.Is it really a surprise then that people give up and imagine the task to be impossible?Okay, so lets take a look at the better alternative: effective repetition.What is Effective Repetition?Effective repetition interes ts the brain into paying attention.And when the brain is paying attention, that’s when long-term memories are created. For example, do you still remember what you had for breakfast two Tuesdays ago? Highly unlikely. That’s because you were not paying attention.But how about this, do you still remember the face of your first love from years or decades ago?Many will not only recall your first loves name and face, but you might even remember the persons eye color, the smell of her hair or the way he smiles. You could even still hear their voice, the way he or she speaks and how it makes your heart skip a beat. You might even remember every conversation you’ve had!You were really paying attention, werent you?Effective repetition uses the same mechanism in the brain to make you learn the language faster. It’s effective because it taps into how our brains work. Just as you remember your first love’s mannerisms, you’ll find it easier to recall the nuances of a language.Like I s aid, effective repetition interests the brain into paying attention. So, how do we do that, exactly?Well, we don’t have any room for rote memorization here. That method doesn’t really work for the long term.We need to make the repetition memorable, and we do that by engaging the five senses.How to Make Effective Repetitions with the 5 SensesLet’s suppose again that you’re tasked with memorizing a list of the 100 most common words in Spanish. By using our sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, and incorporating them into the learning process, we can make that list very memorable.Let’s deal with each sense briefly:SightIn order to increase retention in your language learning endeavors, you need to see pictures, not words. That’s because our brain works pictorially, hence the term photographic memory. This explains why a photograph works better than a word, and why videos are more effective learning tools than words on the blackboard.So anytime you wish to memoriz e vocabulary, always associate the word with a picture. The more vivid, the more colorful, the better. This way, you get into the arena of effective repetitions.An awesome way to learn words effectively with photos is using  FluentU.  FluentU takes real-world videosâ€"like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talksâ€"and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.Each hand-picked video is transcribed and translated, plus every word comes with an image, in-context definition and multiple example sentencesâ€"so you can engage both your sight  and  hearing!Another tip to improve retention using sight is to use interesting fonts and different colors when making a vocabulary list. You could use red font for feminine cases or gender-specific words, for example, or increase the font size for easy viewing.HearingFor effective repetition, try making a song out of the words you need to memorize. Put on a catchy tune and watch your memory speed soar. Creative preschool teachers have used this technique with great success. (Imagine memorizing the alphabet without the ABC songâ€"just try stringing those 26 letters together without a tune yikes!)A catchy tune you could use to memorize vocabulary is the song Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music which goes: Doe, a deer, a female deerAnother way to increase vocabulary retention is to study a foreign song by translating the lyrics into English. Since you now have words used in a certain context and have sung them to a specific tune, youll find it easier to mine the song for vocabulary words. Feliz Navidad, anyone?TasteWhen you pair a food-related word with its actual taste, you make the memory connection so much stronger. That is, the fastest way to learn the words for orange in any language is to eat one while memorizing. It will burn the translation into your head. This goes true for any food word.Effective repetition  is very vivid when it comes to taste. Try closing your eyes for the full effect.If the w ord you are trying to memorize is not accessible through the sense of taste, see if it can be approached through the sense of smell, which we’ll discuss next.SmellHave you ever been brought back to a certain place or time just because you got a whiff of something? You were happily walking on a busy street and suddenly you smelled the perfume used by a long-lost lover. Then suddenly, it all came back to you like it was yesterday, all the beautiful memories with that special person.The sense of smell is one of the most potent memory enhancers, and yet how many language learners incorporate it in their study? If you think looking at pictures is effective, just wait until you enlist the help of your nose.Although not many of your vocabulary words will necessarily be accessible through smell  (just like with taste), you could also use a scented candleâ€"try rosemary or lavenderâ€"to enhance your memory. And for those words that do have a scent, you’ll discover that the memory connec tion is simply on another level.Touch/KinestheticSome people learn best when they move: the kinesthetic learners. They learn a word best when they associate it with a certain gesture or action. And this gesture might be suggestive of the word or be completely random.For example, when memorizing the Spanish word redondo (which means round or circular), you might draw a circle repeatedly with your fingers to learn kinesthetically. Or when memorizing saltar (which means jump), you could actually jump.Doing actions like these are effective repetitions that help anchor the memory. It may look like just goofing around, but it’s actually a very efficient memory technique.So when you need to memorize something, straight up repetition just won’t cut it.Go for effective repetitions by engaging your five senses! It will make a world of difference.

Assumptions People Will Make About Your Time in Law School

Assumptions People Will Make About Your Time in Law School Image via Pexels When you talk to people about becoming a lawyer, you’ll probably get one of two different types of looks. How do I know? I give my younger sister one of these two looks every time she comes to me with an overdue assignment or is lazying about when she should be studying. She wants to be a lawyer and she’s made good progress to get there, but I’m sure when she voices her occupation of choice to others, she’ll get one of these two looks. One is a look of sincerity and pride. They’re happy you made such a choice and seriously impressed that you would go through the rigors of study to get your law degree. The other is a look of disgust. They’re none too pleased that you’ve picked such a profession because to  them all lawyers are crooks well, that is until they need one. Some people are this way only because they don’t understand what it means to be a good, honest lawyer and the hard work that goes into becoming a lawyer. As in any profession, there is always one bad apple in the bunch, but don’t throw out all the lawyers because one cheated on his bar exam. Here are some assumptions people make about your time in law school that are completely false or only half-true. Some people assume that law school professors held your hand through your courses. Nothing could really be further from the truth. People might assume that it is the law professor’s job to hold the hands of each law students and walk them through their courses to safely ensure that the school produces the best lawyers in the nation (and subtly upholds its reputation). Some undergraduate classes are filled with compassionate professors who live and breathe their students’ achievements but this is not the case in graduate school or law school. Professors at the grad level have made their own achievements and will only give you enough wings in order for you to fly on your own. Being a professor is a privilege, but it is also a job. Professors get paid regardless of how many people pass or fail their class. Some people assume that law school will absolutely prepare you to pass the state bar exam. This is an assumption that many people make but it really has no basis. In one way, law school does prepare you to sit for the bar exam and pass it. That is, after all, the goal. However, law school like any other school gives you the facts you need to become a lawyer. It puts you on the right path, it does not take you to the destination. Law school will tell you to make wise, informed decisions about any particular case; it won’t necessarily tell you how to do it. Applying what you have learned in the classroom to a real-life or hypothetical situation has to be learned all on your own. The bar exam takes both knowledge and knowledge application into consideration. Some people assume that the life of a lawyer is an exciting roller-coaster, kind of like we see on TV and in the movies. Being a lawyer actually is not that exciting. Of course, you get the daily moral fix of knowing you are pushing the world one step closer to justice. But talk to any lawyer and you will find that they do the same routine tasks every day. Lawyers actually sit in their offices for long hours pouring over legions of court documents and past court documents and writing up documents. They also spend time logging their time so they will know what to bill each client. TV shows like ‘Blue Bloods’ and ‘Law and Order’ have made us think that the life of a lawyer is pretty glamorous. These shows fail to show all the paperwork, research, and hours of reading, comprehending, and writing that has to be done before ever setting foot in a court room. Some people assume that doors will just open up for you once you officially get your law degree. No more doors will be open to you than someone who gets her medical degree or someone who gets a degree in business administration or accounting. A law degree can give you credibility. Passing the bar exam signals that you have a decent work ethic, that you are willing to go through a long and tedious process to reach a goal, and that you have a reasonable level of intelligence and ability to comprehend and think critically. With all the help you can get throughout law school, nothing comes easy. You still have to apply yourself and work hard and that’s just like any other serious profession. Some people assume you make a lot of money just by waking up in the morning. Reality check here, most lawyers do not make that much more money when you take into account the time, cost, and mental, emotional, and relational energy that is spent trying to become one. Don’t let friends and family especially hit you up for green backs when you haven’t paid the rent on your studio apartment or even bought decent food to eat for the week. Just starting out, lawyers will make on average anywhere from $40K to $65K and that’s on the low end of the salary scale. Even though there is a considerable amount of negative attention placed upon it and brought to it, being a lawyer is an honorable and fulfilling profession. There will always be corrupt lawyers just like there are corrupt business people, corrupt politicians and corrupt doctors. But this should be the least of your concerns. With the right goals and the will to stick to your studies, you can become the best lawyer you’ve always dreamed you would be.

Wildlife Photography Tips and Techniques to Get the Perfect Shot

You take some pretty good shots but you feel that they all come just shy of the ‘Wow! Amazing!’ mark... and you really want to get there.If so, this article is meant for you.On the other hand, you might have just bought a DSLR camera and taken a photography class to learn all about it... but intuition tells you there is more to quality photography than setting a few dials, pointing and shooting.Photography workshops can teach you all about the technical aspects of your camera and how to use it, but it is that unique blend of technique, talent and timing that invariably scoops photography competition prizes, isn’t it?Whether you aspire to become one of the world’s greatest wildlife photographers or you just want to capture the best shots possible for your personal satisfaction...Your Superprof now endeavours to arm you with some of the best tips and tricks to land you that one-in-a-million shot.

Sure, one might squeeze off a lucky shot once in a while but to consistently capture quality images takes a bit of behind-the-lens savvy.One of the most subjective aspects of photography is composition.In composing your shot, you control what your scene, background, focus and perspective should be to achieve the desired outcome.Are you just getting started with wildlife photography?Many beginner photographers believe that centring the focal point is paramount to capturing a money shot but experts agree that balancing provides a much more aesthetically pleasing image.For instance, you might plan your shot so that the animal takes up the lower-left corner of the frame while the upper right corner of your viewfinder is filled with greenery; a tree or shrub.That would leave the opposing corners to capture the fullness of the sky and the ground, creating an exquisite balance of complementary elements.Colour should be another consideration to achieving optimal balance.For instance, if you’re on a quest to capture a tawny gazelle in Serengeti National Park, you should plan your trip to coincide with their rainy season, when green abounds and water is plentiful.Capturing your gazelle in the dry season might make for rather bland pictures without much contrast between your subject and its environment.On that note...Look for a Plain BackgroundNot everybody is keen to stomp around an African national reserve to capture magnificent beasts in their environment.Besides, we have some pretty stunning landscapes and a diverse assortment of photogenic animals available for capture on film, too. The trick is getting them to stand out.If you are pho tographing birds, for example, both the animal’s size and plumage should factor into how you photograph them.For instance, photographing carrion crows and blackbirds â€" two types of feathered friends whose plumage easily contrasts, is vastly different than capturing the shimmering colours of the much smaller starling.The more striking photographs of smaller animals usually depict them against a blurred background; an effect achieved by setting your camera to a shallow depth of field.Another way you could create amazing shots of small creatures would be for you to change your perspective â€" in other words, reposition yourself and your camera such that there are no more background elements to distract the viewers’ focus from your subject.For instance, instead of aiming your camera towards the ground to photograph a garden lizard sunning himself, you might try crouching so that your subject is at eye level or, more specifically, at camera level.That might be a bit difficult to do without startling Mr Lizard; that is why many wildlife photographers use camera traps to capture their most skittish subjects.In fact, some nature photographers consider them essential kit when they plan their photography trips! You can put extra emphasis on your subject matter by blurring the background Image by Pexels from PixabayThe way to produce pictures that appear as though the animal would leap right off the paper (or screen) is to adjust your aperture and ISO values:1/50 to 1/320: you can photograph anything!1/400 to 1/800: this range is ideal for animals walking1/1000 to 1/1250: this range is perfect for running animals1/1600 to 1/2500: this range of settings will capture flying birds faithfully1/3200: really fast, small birds in flightNaturally, these values are just a guideline; you would have to play around with your camera in the environment you intend to work to discover the best settings for your particular brand of artistry and subject matter.Here again, taking a photography workshop would be a good idea, especially if you’ve just treated yourself to a new camera.These days, even simple point and shoot cameras incorporate a range of settings.If you’re into wildlife photography for the fu n and discovery of it, taking pictures of various subjects in any light or setting is a fun way to get good at taking pictures with new your kit.However, if you’re in a bit of a hurry â€" you’re gearing up for a photography competition or don’t care to read the manual, photography tutorials can save you a lot of time and deleted pictures.If photography competitions are your intent, you may measure your kit against what the pros recommend as the best wildlife photography equipment.Managing the LightSome photographers don’t mind shooting in artificial light â€" using fill flash or spotlighting while others plan their shoots to take advantage of natural light.Sunrises and sunsets, when the sun is at a particularly low angle, can give your images a unique, golden hue that would be hard to achieve under any other conditions.Especially in the morning, when the dew sparkles on the ground like so many scattered jewels and the light filters through the trees, you may capture some par ticularly evocative images that would resonate with your audience.The goal of every photographer wishing to stand out is to create a mood that the viewer can relate to or, better yet, wish to lose himself in.Action shots have proved very successful but can be hard to capture. By contrast, the soft, golden light of the sun’s early rays is a surefire formula for impactful, evocative images.Besides, plenty of animals are active during that time: bats and cats, rabbits and ferrets and all manner of insects: what a great opportunity to work on your macro photography!Going hand in hand with this tip is the next one... Planning your shoots to coincide with early or late light will make your photos extra-powerful! Image by Basil Smith from PixabayKnow Your QuarrySeldom does it happen that a wildlife photographer just lucks into a great shot; more likely is the fact that s/he studied his/her subject in-depth.What does it eat? When? What sort of habitat does it live in? What are its rituals for mating, feeding and establishing territory? When are the young born, spawned or hatched? What of behaviour can one expect from such an animal?That last question is especially relevant to your safety; the last thing you want is for your photography session to come to an abrupt end because you have to run for your life with an angry animal at your heels!Admittedly, there is a certain charm in just setting out to photograph what you can but, if you are serious about your craft, you owe it to yourself, your audience and, most importantly to your subject matter to learn everything you can about them.Every animal exh ibits particular behaviours. For instance, some goats fall over when they are startled. And did you know that cows all face either north or south when they eat?Besides the cachet to be had should you capture wildlife doing something remarkable, your work will reflect your depth of subject knowledge, your skill at capturing your subject’s remarkable feats and your passion for the art of wildlife photography.Obviously, this list is far from absolute; in fact, you may know of more tips and tricks for getting the best picture. If so, won’t you share a few in the comments section?Still, we wish you the very best in your quest to capture the perfect image and hope we’ve provided you with a bit of information you didn’t know or hadn’t considered.Now read about the most amazing places for wildlife photography.

(Source: Hermann)Violin teachers were the first to start arguing about which one’s the best (new learning methods, new pieces, better exercises, etc.).  There are a lot of music professionals who write these books as opposed to apps which might be developed by somebody with no experience with the violin.  Something to keep in mind.While apps (on iPhone or Android) interact with musicians, which is really beneficial in the learning process, books boast better content and a more serious approach and can still be useful once you've become an intermediate or advanced player.They are still one of the best ways for learning the violin on your own. With these books, you don’t need to worry about the battery running out or your connection dropping.A book can be read, discovered, and then passed on. The pages are bigger than a smartphone screen and this can be useful for learning, especially when also holding a violin.In some cases, the methods can replace a music teacher. This is very useful for musicians who are teaching themselves. Some people make the mistake of letting Facebook be the only book they ever open.Where Can You Buy the Best Violin Books?Everyone knows how to buy a book.But where can you find the rare gem for learning the violin in a simple and effective way?Should you buy online or go to a real shop?There’s one big disadvantage to buying violin books online: you can’t flick through the pages.  It’s important to see how the book is structured, whether or not it catches your eye, or whether it’s something you know would end up collecting dust.You can’t really do this when you just see a preview of its cover.

The Best Elocution Lessons Online

The Best Elocution Lessons Online The Top Places Online to Find Elocution Lessons ChaptersWhat is Elocution? And How do You Learn it Online?The Best Places to Find Elocution Lessons OnlineEveryone has a voice. And, depending on where you are from in the world, your voices will differ dramatically. Cockney or posh, American English or British English, Scouse or Brummie, there are a million and one ways in which we speak.Yet, as sad as it might sound, one cannot escape the conclusion that, in the UK, some accents count more than others. An accent that is perceived as neutral â€" however far from neutral it might be â€" seems to be accepted more easily and respected more easily too. Meanwhile, among English speakers, one’s pronunciation is seen almost immediately as an identifier of pretty much anything: class, wealth, education. In a context like this, you’d be easily forgiven for harbouring an anxiety about your spoken English, wherever it is you have come from in life. The British have an unfortunate and unhealthy fixation with the correct way to pronounce wor ds â€" and what this might mean about you. Yet, sometimes, if you want to feel like you fit in, having some expert advice and accent training can be the best way to feel comfortable.That’s why there has been a massive increase in elocution, speech training, and communication skills lessons in the UK over the last few years. People have caught onto the unhappy fact that, in some cases, your voice can tell so much about you.If you would like to take up elocution lessons near you â€" or learn how to speak English with a British accent â€" then you’re in the right place. We have brought together some of the most effective elocution classes that are available online. We hope you find it helpful. Remember, though, your voice is wonderful the way it is.

And How do You Learn it Online?So, briefly, what is elocution?In its most neutral form, elocution can be defined as the study of expressive and clear speech, with definition and clarity of pronunciation and articulation. Alternatively, we can define it as the study of formal speaking, in all of speech’s forms â€" from pronunciation and grammar to style, tone, and register.Meanwhile, elocution lessons often involve public speaking practice, accent reduction â€" or, more accurately, accent adoption, with the accent adopted being ‘received pronunciation’ â€" and phonetics.All of these things are what make up elocution â€" and these are the things that you will be studying in any course that you take.But this all begs the following question…How Can You Learn Elocution Online?It might seem like a strange thing to be able to take elocution classes online.
