Learning a new language:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
1. Enhances our brain power – and this is not a myth, I felt it on my own and many of my students are saying the same thing. Our brain is a muscle while we learn we train it and obviously we become smarter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
2. Increases our Memory – another wonderful side effect, learning a new language is ameliorating our memory. I am still making notes about the things I need to do or what I need to buy or meetings I have but I observed I do not need them anymore, I simply remember everything without an extra effort.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
3. Develops our decision-making ability – I must confess I was very bad at this, I spent hours or even days thinking about whether I should do or not certain things. I feel a huge improvement in this area and I’m not stopping here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
4. Develops our multi-task working ability – I love this one, this is a must skill in our days, so many things to do all the time and so little time for it. While we learn a new language our brain is developing its ability to organise and schematize and later applies this skill in all spheres of our life. And it truly works.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
5. Grow our self-confidence – I think this is a logical effect, our confidence is growing while we learn new things and we accumulate so many things while we learn a new language.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
6. Expands our career potential – I never thought about it from this perspective before I start learning Italian but now I have a huge advantage while teaching Italians. I think this is applicable in any field, speaking a new language could help you in making connections, meeting new people, moving in another country etc.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
7. Develops our communication skill – to learn a language presumes a lot of communication and practice always makes it better.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
8. Enlarge us as life perspectives – I felt it right away, exchanging ideas all the time with people that were grown in another way helped me to see the whole world from a totally new perspective and this helped me to grow as well.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
9. Changes our mindset – I must say that Italians are very positive, they always are smiling and they are making jokes and even the language has a certain musicality, all this, on the whole, made me more positive and of course, I smile more <span class="_5mfr _47e3" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v9/f4c/1/16/1f642.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span class="_7oe" style="display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;">🙂</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
10. Opens the door to a whole new culture – Seeing the language as a key is one of the best comparisons ever, with this key now I am able to read foreign authors or travel without a guide, learn from locals in a lost village how to cook authentic pizzafood from different places, the possibilities are enormous, probably I even don’t realise at this moment how this will truly change my life in the future but it is certain, I opened the door to a new culture which enriched me and continues doing so.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I am not at the end of my way but I must say that I enjoy so much the route that I even forget about the final goal. Learning a new language is also fun, a reason that was not on my initial list, it is something I discovered in time and it values even more than the rest.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What about you, could you think of a reason that is not listed here? Then please share it with everybody in a comment on this page and help others in their learning trip.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-tIaoCwzOzmE3g4cIhoz-8tuwfjvBdqoeIcJ1_dWlJkW1oUsyyfjg20srPObQKyOrC34R1FQDlR1cZsqoYcdL9M51zkT2NwOQtP8poMGwxBVFDJqXs_g7EZOzCTRHBfqcoQjzBYuANk2/s1600/wordle+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-tIaoCwzOzmE3g4cIhoz-8tuwfjvBdqoeIcJ1_dWlJkW1oUsyyfjg20srPObQKyOrC34R1FQDlR1cZsqoYcdL9M51zkT2NwOQtP8poMGwxBVFDJqXs_g7EZOzCTRHBfqcoQjzBYuANk2/s400/wordle+2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Find in the WORDLE one word which has the closest meaning to:<br />
modernization/novelty - Global - eternal/infinite - supporter - invulnerability -
Happening at the same time- Distant - without connecting cables<br />
<br />
BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY (text)<br />
1 Bluetooth wireless technology is a worldwide specification for a small-form factor, low-cost radio solution that provides links between mobile computers, mobile phones, other portable handheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet. The specification is developed, published and promoted by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). <br />
2 Bluetooth wire technology revolutionizes the personal connectivity market by providing freedom from wired connections – enabling links between mobile computers, mobile phones, portable handheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet. Bluetooth technology redefines the very way we experience connectivity.<br />
3 While the possibilities are nearly endless for the use of the technology, some of the current capabilities include: <br />
eliminating the need for wired connections between electronic products and accessories , exchanging files, business cards, calendar appointments, etc. with groups of Bluetooth users , transfering and synchronizing files between devices, connecting to localized content services in public areas , functioning as remote controls, keys, tickets and e-cash wallets<br />
4 Establishing a standard means integrating well-tested technology with the power-efficiency and low-cost of a compliant radio system. Establishing a standard also means a group of industry leading promoter companies who drive the specification forward (Bluetooth SIG). Bluetooth technology works because it has been developed as a cross industry solution that marries a vision of engineering innovation with an understanding of business and consumer expectations. <br />
5 Bluetooth wireless technology is unique in its breadth of applications. Links can be established between groups of products simultaneously or between individual products and the Internet. This flexibility, combined with strict interoperability requirements, has led to support for Bluetooth wireless technology from a wide range of market segments, including software developers, silicon vendors, peripheral and camera manufacturers, mobile PC manufacturers and handheld device developers, consumer electronics manufacturers, car manufacturers, and test and measurement equipment manufacturers.<br />
6The Bluetooth wireless specification defines a low-power, low-cost technology that provides a standardized platform for eliminating cables between mobile devices and facilitating connections between products. Unlike many other wireless standards, the Bluetooth wireless specification includes both link layer and application layer definitions for product developers. <br />
7 Radios that comply with the Bluetooth wireless specification operate in the unlicensed, 2.4 GHz radio spectrum ensuring communication compatibility worldwide. These radios use a spread spectrum, frequency hopping, full-duplex signal at up to 1600 hops/sec. The signal hops among 79 frequencies at 1 MHz intervals to give a high degree of interference immunity. While point-to-point connections are supported, the specification allows up to seven simultaneous connections to be established and maintained by a single radio. <br />
8 Synchronizing the capabilities of the telecommunications, computing, and networking industries Bluetooth SIG members understand innovation and the business of innovation. The Bluetooth SIG provides a forum for companies to work together using short-range wireless technologies to solve customer problems. Companies can join either as Associate or Adopting . The Bluetooth SIG promoters include 3Com, Agere, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Toshiba, and hundreds of Associate and Adopter member companies. <br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A few years ago, I felt like I was ______________. So I decided to follow in the ______________of the great</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock and try something new for 30 days. Think about something you're</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There's a few things I learned while doing these 30 day ______________. The first was instead of the months</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">flying by, forgotten the time was much more ______________. That was part of a challenge I did to take a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">picture every day for a month. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30 day challenges, my ______________ grew. I went</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work for fun.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30 day challenges. I also ______________ that</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">if you really want something badly enough you can do anything for 30 days. Have you ever wanted to write a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">novel? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000 word novel from</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">______________ in 30 days. Now is my book next great American novel? No, I wrote it in a month. It's</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">______________.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There is nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. ______________there are a ton of fun. But they're less</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">likely to stick. When I ______________sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this. So here's my question to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">you. "What are you waiting for?"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not. So why not think about</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">something you have always wanted to try and ______________ for the next 30 days.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❶ Is there something you've always wanted to do, but just ...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">haven't?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❷ Watch the TED talk by Matt Cutts “Try Something New for 30 Days” and answer these questions:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">a. Why did Matt Cutts decide to try something new for 30 days?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">b. What did Matt Cutts first decide to do for 30 days? How did he feel after that?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">c. What did he do next?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">d. Did Matt try to write a blog or a novel?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">e. What did this experiment teach him?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❸ Watch the TED talk again and check what you have written in the gaps:</span><br />
<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A few years ago, I felt like I was ______________. So I decided to follow in the ______________of the great</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock and try something new for 30 days. Think about something you're</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There's a few things I learned while doing these 30 day ______________. The first was instead of the months</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">flying by, forgotten the time was much more ______________. That was part of a challenge I did to take a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">picture every day for a month. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30 day challenges, my ______________ grew. I went</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work for fun.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30 day challenges. I also ______________ that</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">if you really want something badly enough you can do anything for 30 days. Have you ever wanted to write a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">novel? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000 word novel from</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">______________ in 30 days. Now is my book next great American novel? No, I wrote it in a month. It's</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">______________.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There is nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. ______________there are a ton of fun. But they're less</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">likely to stick. When I ______________sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this. So here's my question to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">you. "What are you waiting for?"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not. So why not think about</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">something you have always wanted to try and ______________ for the next 30 days.</span><br />
<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_cutts_try_something_new_for_30_days.html" style="color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_<wbr></wbr>cutts_try_something_new_for_<wbr></wbr>30_days.html</a><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❹ Would you like to try such a 30-day challenge? What would you do?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What would you do if you felt that you’re stuck in a rut?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Is your every day memorable?

<h4>
</h4>
I love this interview to a teacher of English as a Second language as this is the dream I have been pursuing all my life : ..."I work as an
English language private tutor. Working with people from
their late teens up to late adulthood, I currently specialize is
providing 1-on-1 tutoring in General English combined with learning
skills development and personal growth. It´s my mission to show people
who are sometimes trying to learn English for many years with no result,
that the problem is not in them – it is in the unsuitable, way too
analytical methods they may have been using. I help the learner to
reflect on their true motivation for learning and also on the main
blocks they have. Of course it´s usually speaking blocks. Once
identified, we work towards finding out where they come from and
overcoming them using effective, yet simple tools like holistic learning
and relaxation techniques. My courses are led completely without course
books. Instead, I use interesting and fun internet resources and
mainly, I encourage people to go “out in the world” and socialize in
English!<br />
My vision in education is not to teach anyone English but
to help them know how to learn by themselves in a fun way, why. I´m
convinced that this is the only way we learn languages: through dialogue
and social interaction but by ourselves. This is actually how we have
been doing since day 1 in our lives."...<br />
..." My tutorings start at around 9 – on the spot or via Skype. In
the afternoon I feed back on the lessons, both for me and the learners,
summarizing what we have been doing and where to go next. I am kind of a torch who sheds light on the process of learning so that the
learner would not get lost or lose motivation. I say it is vital to
enjoy the journey but it is also good to know where we want to go. Next
to preparing the courses, I spend a great deal of time searching for new
learning resources online."......"E-learning has changed my work a great deal! I have found that learning a
language does not need to mean only doing exercises in a course book
(though I used to love them as well – I loved everything about
English:-) It can include the more fun things like watching videos and
singing songs. More importantly, thanks to the net, you can make sure
that the English you are dealing with, is up to date. As a professional,
I have benefited from the net in the sense that it has enabled me to
reach my target audience – learners who are really willing to make a
progress – and not just “attend a course”. Those are the ones I can help
most, for you know what they say: “If you’re not willing to learn, no
one can help you. If you’re determined to learn, no one can stop you.” I
can teach people who live far away from me through Skype, I can share
tools with them that are widely accessible, and I can create my own
tools like teaching videos. Last but not least, it means to me a wealth
of knowledge of modern teaching methods and also a place of networking
with like-minded teachers."...<br />
..."The
challenge is that there is so much information available thatone could ask oneself one,
will the traditional teaching at school desks lose all its sense? And
two, will we know how to manage this overload of information? The school system will have to be transformed into helping
children (and people) develop their true potential and present them
with opportunities to learn rather than function as a transmitter of
facts of knowledge. Information will be widely accessible but we will
have to learn (or teach children) how to learn best by themselves."...<br />
The words of this English language private tutor, Adéla Overmajerová, from prague, express my own wishes in a very near future (not to say tomorrow). That is why I have chosen her words as an opening post to my blog.<br />
My dream continues, but that will be left for another post...<br />
