How to give an open air language lesson
I love to teach and have always had good teaching experiences. Rosetta Stone language
I love inventing ways to get my students to speak English. Organizing intercultural exchanges with English speaking students along with travel and special events is one way. I believe that students enjoy learning a language more when they are put directly in contact with it. Here's a fun and practical way to make the language live for your language students.I teach University students who are both from the city I live in and from other cities around the island.Some of them know the city but have not ventured out into it as a tourist would. Others are here to study and they go home on the weekends and never have the chance to sightsee and get to know the special places that tourists all over the world come here to see. I recommend this exercise for levels from pre- intermediate to advanced students.Difficulty:Moderately ChallengingInstructions Things You'll Needabout a month and a half for preparation time.internetcooperative studentsimagination1Pick a date for your tour and a route to take. The sites in a walking tour should be all within just a few minutes walk from each other. All our sites were in the historic center of the city and therefore easy to get around to.2Make sure you contact all the museums on your, to see list , to get opening hours and information needed for group admittance. Many museums and theaters require a list of the students attending to be sent by fax on university or school letterhead. Prior to the date of the tour.3Organize your tour stops according to the opening hours, the order in which you want to see the sites, the distance that you need to cover and the direction you want the tour to move in. Set a time schedule to see each site, 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there, according to the material to be covered, and don't overstay your time in any one place and have to cut time short in another. Remember your students have put a lot of work into this assignment and should have ample time to present all that they have planned to tell you.4Assign a specific monument or site of interest to each student, if your group is small. If the group is larger assign one place of interest to two or three students. For example I assigned the home of famed musician Vincenzo Bellini to three students. Rosetta Stone Greek
One researched his most famous works, what was happening in his life when he composed them etc. ,the other researched his childhood, beginning of his career etc. and the third researched the actual house , the history of the house and its rooms at the time of the family's occupation. Other students working individually took monuments such as the famous Fontana Ammenano or the little known Terme Achilliane, the ancient Roman baths under the center of the main square and the main cathedral.5The research is all to be done directly in English. No translating material. Translating material from the mother tongue to the target language only takes up time and can cause confusion.6Set a firm cut off date for all research material to be completed and turned in so that you can go over the material with them individually. They will make their presentations in their own words , using the information researched, and they will need help with pronunciation and arranging their information in proper English structure. Set a time for a trial run in the classroom before the tour date.7Each student must prepare some questions to ask the other students on the tour while they are listening to their classmates presentations8Schedule a break at a quaint café or in front of one of the Monuments being visited.9Assign a student to photographic duty, there will always be someone happy to take the group pictures10During the tour - Each student plays tour guide and explains his or her monument or site of interest in English .Giving details about the artwork inside the cathedral or specifics on the area's domination during the period that this particular structure was built. The other students ask their English questions and guides are required to be able to answer them in English.Of course mistakes will be made and they will need your assistance in some things.11After the tour the students are asked to write about their experience as an additional assignment. These writings are then edited into a class newspaper and placed alongside the photos of the group at their various destinations. This work is done completely by the students with the guidance of the teacher.The finished product is a journalistic and photographic memory of their experience. The Cheap Rosetta Stone Software

How to Translate With the Rosetta Stone
The Rosetta Stone is one of the most Rosetta Stone language
important archaeological-historical discoveries in the world. Dating back to 196 BC, the stele (table stone) describes a decree of Ptolemy V, King of Ptolemaic Egypt, a successor kingdom to Alexander the Great's Macedonian empire. What makes it unique is that it bears the decree in three languages. These are Greek, demotic and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Rosetta Stone allowed linguists to translate hieroglyphs for the first time. While translations are available, it is far more fun to learn for yourself. While a knowledge of Greek will help immensely, you can translate without it. Furthermore, you can use the Rosetta Stone to translate other hieroglyphs, too.Difficulty:Moderately ChallengingInstructions 1Familiarize yourself with the layout of the Rosetta Stone. You will notice the Egyptian hieroglyphs are at the top, the demotic in the middle and the Greek at the bottom.2Translate the Greek into English or another chosen language first. The Greek is the most accessible of the three languages. To translate the hieroglyphs, you will need to understand the Greek text.3Compare the Rosetta Stone Software
Greek to the hieroglyphs. The three texts relay the same information. This is the hardest stage to learn and the one that took Thomas Young of Britain and Jean-Francois Champollion the longest.

important archaeological-historical discoveries in the world. Dating back to 196 BC, the stele (table stone) describes a decree of Ptolemy V, King of Ptolemaic Egypt, a successor kingdom to Alexander the Great's Macedonian empire. What makes it unique is that it bears the decree in three languages. These are Greek, demotic and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Rosetta Stone allowed linguists to translate hieroglyphs for the first time. While translations are available, it is far more fun to learn for yourself. While a knowledge of Greek will help immensely, you can translate without it. Furthermore, you can use the Rosetta Stone to translate other hieroglyphs, too.Difficulty:Moderately ChallengingInstructions 1Familiarize yourself with the layout of the Rosetta Stone. You will notice the Egyptian hieroglyphs are at the top, the demotic in the middle and the Greek at the bottom.2Translate the Greek into English or another chosen language first. The Greek is the most accessible of the three languages. To translate the hieroglyphs, you will need to understand the Greek text.3Compare the Rosetta Stone Software

Helping Students With Reading Problems
Reading is a difficult process. Rosetta Stone Spanish
The brain must be doing several things at once in order to make sense out of the written word. Many things can go wrong when a student is learning to read. Kids who struggle with reading struggle with life. If there is just one skill you can spend time on to help a student succeed in school and life, it would be reading. The biggest mistake most people make is to try to teach a student to read in the same method they were taught or by using traditional methods. Well, guess what? If these methods worked, then the student would be reading and reading well. So, to start with, please understand that different methods must be used to help a struggling reader. A combination of brain, visual, visual memory, auditory, and tactile decoding training is a method that works to help students learn to read, especially when traditional methods have failed. To start with, use brain integration activities to help balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Phonics is a left brain activity, and many right brain dominant students have a terrible time learning to read with traditional phonics based methods. Also, students with reading problems should do vision and auditory exercises to strengthen these learning systems. Now that the brain and learning systems are primed for optimal learning, the student needs decoding practice. Most poor readers look at the first syllable or two of a word and start sounding it out. However, for some reason, this is as far as they can get, and from there they start guessing. For instance, the word dignity may be read as digital by the student. This is not an accurate method to read and causes a lot of problems, especially with comprehension. In order to remedy this situation, the student is to sound out a decoding unit that is in color, since the right side of the brain is attracted to color. The decoding unit is placed within a larger word. There is also a picture to represent the decoding unit, once again because the right side of the brain works in pictures. For example, the decoding unit ar would have Rosetta Stone Software
a picture of a car for the picture. Then the student reads a list of words with the ar sound imbedded within them. The words might be far, dark, remark, etc. The ar would be in color while the rest of the word is in black. The student has a picture and a color to help remember the sound. Next, the student reads nonsense words with the ar sound. These might be something like lar, smar, cark, etc. This time there is no color or picture. The student uses a highlighter to go over the sounds while reading the nonsense words. As the student moves the marker over the letters, he reads the sounds. Once again, the color activates the right side of the brain while the student is forced to stay on the sound that he is looking at. This prevents looking at the word as a whole and guessing. (Right brain dominant students look at the whole of something as well as pictures and colors.) Another option used with great success is to have the student pull down a coin or tile at every sound read. This involves another tactile operation while reading and also forces the student to look at sounds as he reads instead of the whole word and a mental picture that might go with it, often one that is incorrect. The next step is to dictate the real words the student learned and have the student write them down on paper or in a gooey substance. This not only helps with spelling, but it will give you a good idea if the student has mastered the decoding unit. You would call out the words far, dark, remark, etc. and have the student write them. If the decoding unit was learned, the student will recall the unit and spell it correctly. If the student learns one decoding unit per day, it will only take about 15 minutes per day. There are more than 52 known decoding units that can be used. Kids who have struggled with reading are raising test scores and grades, usually within six weeks. This read, touch , Rosetta Stone America English
and write method works when all other methods have failed.

Make Diet Plans and Weight Loss Programs Work For You
All diet plans and weight loss programs are a combination of Rosetta Stone Software
exercise and diet. The diets differ in the calorie requirements and kinds of foods eaten. Other weight loss programs differ in the amount of exercise required. So what is the ideal combination of exercise and diet? The ideal weight loss program is the one that works for you. It would be nice if someone could tell you go out and buy this particular program or diet plan. But no one can do that. Each person is unique. What works for one may not work for another. So the ultimate question is how do you find what works for you. It's not easy and it may take trial and error. Below are some suggestions to help you avoid too much trial and error. How Many CaloriesSome weight loss programs prescribe very few calories. It will be very hard to stick to a very low calorie diet for any length of time. Remember a very low calorie diet is not a healthy diet plan. Each diet plan suggests a different number of calories. Look at the number of calories before you start. What is the minimum number of calories you are willing to eat a day? If the your plan has too few calories for you, you won't succeed. If you can't reduce your caloric intake you won't lose weight. Look into each program and find the one you are willing to stay with. Keep in mind that you can always modify the program to suit your needs. No diet program is written in stone. What Can I EatWhat food is in the program? Some weight loss programs allow you to eat only foods from a list. This is an easy to follow plan. There is no guess work. However, it can become boring. Are you willing to buy and prepare the special foods required? Are you too busy to shop and cook special foods? Only you can answer these questions. Check to see if the food requirements make for a healthy diet plan. Are you required to eat a certain food at every meal? Are you required to eat too much of a certain food? Are you getting the required vitamins from this diet plan? Is there enough variety in the program? Rosetta Stone Greek
Other diet programs allow you to eat a set number of servings from certain food groups. You can exchange food of equal calories within the food group. This type of weight loss program won't be as monotonous as some. Portion control is another popular weight loss plan. This usually involves prepackaged meals. This method of weight loss is easy to use. Just pop the prepared food into the oven or microwave. Many of these prepackaged meals are quite tasty. This can be expensive. How Much ExerciseEach weight loss program calls for different amount of physical activity. How much exercise will you do? Not how much do you think you will exercise but how much will you really exercise. Some programs promote more exercise than diet. Does the exercise involve aerobic activity or weight lifting? Are you willing to lift weights? It is up to you to investigate each diet plan or weight loss program. Be honest with yourself or you will be wasting your time and money. SupportDoes this weight loss program provide support? Is the support online? Does someone call you on the phone each week to encourage you and check your progress? Is there group participation? Is it a do it yourself weight loss program? Can you do it alone or do you need some help? Is a journal required? If so, are you willing to write in a journal every day? CostIs the cost of the diet plan minimal? Does the weight loss program have prepackaged meals which can be costly? Is there a monthly fee? Are expensive supplements required? Do you need to join a gym? What are your spending limits? ConclusionsSometimes you can start with one weight loss program and be successful for a certain length of time and then it becomes boring or ineffective. This is when it is time to switch to another program. Rosetta Stone Indian
Don't hesitate to keep trying and testing until you find what will work for you. If you are motivated there is something out there that will be just right for you.

Stache shot: 'Insulting' or fair game?
Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva says his opponent’s depiction of him with a Rosetta Stone
giant mustache in a fundraising appeal is insulting, and Hispanic groups say it promotes a racial stereotype of Latinos. But Republican Ruth McClung's camp counters that she's just playing off the hirsute hallmark of Grijalva's own campaign logo. It's true that Grijalva uses a sketch of his dark, bushy mustache in campaign materials. But he says the image McClung's using, a real photo of him doctored to give him a cartoonishly long strip of hair, is over the line. It's insulting, but what can you do? Grijalva, who is Hispanic, said in a phone interview. It's exaggerated and meant to create an image of evil and something sinister. It says, 'He's one of them.' And they have the liberty to do that because we are in a campaign. Rosalind Gold, head of policy Rosetta Stone Hindi Software
research and advocacy at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, says it plays into the negative bandito stereotype of Latinos. It is definitely an attempt by the candidate to appeal to negative stereotypes of Latinos, and it may indeed backfire, Gold said. This is clearly disrespectful to many Latinos, and they will send a message when they vote that this kind of advertising is insulting. Grijalva is locked in an unexpectedly tight contest against McClung in Arizona's 7th District, where he has suffered a backlash against his since-rescinded call for an economic boycott of his own state over its tough new immigration law. On Thursday, McClung put up a moneybomb website designed to attract online donations of as much as $100,000 on a single day. It's that site aimed at stirring up donors that features Grijalva with the fake oversize mustache. The Hispanic vote is the most important bloc in most elections in the 7th District, where Latino residents account for more than half the population. But national polling data suggest Hispanics aren't likely to turn out in big numbers this year, and conservative Republicans are energized heading into the midterm elections. Rosetta Stone Italian Software
Sam Stone, a spokesman for McClung, a Tucson rocket scientist who has never run for public office, said Grijalva's campaign signs and website all prominently feature his mustache logo. While the McClung campaign meant no disrespect to Hispanics, Stone said, the mustache was fair game.
