Sing to learn the foreign!

Image
Learning foreign language has never been as easy as we thought. When we’re talking about foreign language, first thing that came into our mind is how hard, boring, and time consuming it can be for someone to learn. Some people are gifted with the talent to learn languages easily, and some are bound to the challenges of being stuck at pronouncing, understanding, etc. Researchers at University Putra Malaysia have come up with technology or innovation that can aid the learning process of a certain foreign language. Animated Karaoke Assisted Vocabulary Learning (Japanese) and Spanish Songs with Animation Video (Spanish) is a sing-along multimedia screen page in form of CD – compact disk – that consist of many technical features such as; synchronized animation, text lyrics for foreign language learners, and transliteration – an idea of how to pronounced a word by putting in a familiar alphabet. Both of these innovations share the same goal which is to make learning languages easy, fun, and ...

Image

Eric contract is going to expire next June but Barcelona have reacherd an agreement on personal terms for 5 years with Garcia. He is coming back to the club where he grew up.  The agreement is almost ready to sign Garcia as a free agent next summer. Barcelona can try to anticipate the deal in January but they need to negotiate with Manchester City. Last summer Barcelona offered 10 million Euro to sign Garcia immediately but Manchester City refused the deal.  Manchester City made many attempts to convince him to stay and extend his contract. The club manager Pep Guardiola was also trying to convince him in every way but Eric Garcia wants to join the spain giants, Barcelona. The move is close but the contract is not signed yet just because it can be done only when the new Barcelona president will be elected. The agreement has been reached with Garcia and his agents, o...

Like Father Like Son

Image
  Tiger Woods with his son, Charlie Axel Woods at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, surprised many by signing up to play in the event reserved for major champions and a family member.  Charlie Woods looked like a mini pro golfer out there, all the mannerisms on display. From taking off his glove to putt, carrying a yardage book in his back left pocket, marking his ball on the green and lining up shots, the youngest golfer to ever compete in the PNC Championship played the part.  And it's not too hard to figure out where he got it all from. Given how Tiger separates his personal life and family life, it would have been more than understandable if a day like this had waited several years.  Tiger has been dealing with the spotlight since he was younger than Charlie and knows how harsh those bright lights can shine. But his son has handled it like a champ, and his golf game has been impressive too. "The idea was to make sure we had fun,'' Tiger said after a...

She basically assuming that muslim women are all controlled and don’t have authority on themselves.

Besides that, Costa has also been contacted by Chinese and Brazilian clubs for January but he will take his time to decide his next destination. So, will he move back to Brazil where he started his career, return to EPL, or play in a Chinese team that of...

Street Photography Tip #2

Image
Hello. I'm so I forgot to post the tip every Monday like I've said but here we are again with some tip for street photographers out there. Today's topic is about lenses that we can use and which are recommended for street photography. Again, I'm not an expert and I'm just sharing what I have learnt from friends and the internet.  Shooting with prime lenses just give you a better experience and get you to think differently about most of your shots due to the fixed focal length. It forces you to focus more on the composition which means you are going to move around more often to get the subject into the proper composition. Despite of the tiredness, this can be advantageous for you because you might get a unique story as you move around and have more interactions with your subject. The most important thing about prime lenses is that it gives you a wider aperture at a cheaper price and also let you shoot more discretely. We can all agree that being discrete or stealth w...

Why u should eat banana

Image
Greetings my friends, how are you? It’s been great hasn’t it? Imagine, I’d like you to picture it in your mind, if you are only given a chance to eat not 2 or 5 or 10, but 1, only 1 kind of food in this world, what food would it be in order for you to go through this hard life? I got hints for you. Yellow, curvy skin, sweet tastes, nutritious, squishy inside, slippery outside, edible. What do you think I’m describing about? Correct! It's a banana. If you think bananas are just for monkeys, think again. As we all know, bananas are sweets and tasty. But do you know there are a lot more reasons to eat bananas. Did you know eating just 1 banana can increases immunity? And that is what I wanted to talk about, the benefits of bananas to us, humans.
