You might have heard the term “flipped classroom” or “flipped learning” used lately in education circles. It’s a new way of thinking about classroom learning, and it’s taking off in …
Who doesn’t love a good scare? Well, actually some don’t. I suggest if you’re one of those scaredy cats, you stop reading right now because things are about to get down right spooky! Reading and listening along is one of the best ways to learn English, and on LingQ you can translate words and phrases as you go.
To celebrate Halloween, we’ve put together a list of some the creepiest content we have in the English library on LingQ. So lock the doors, curl up on the sofa and prepare to be scared.
The LingQ method promotes lots of reading and listening input, and so it works well in classroom settings where an input method is used. One such input method that is becoming increasingly popular in language classrooms around the world is TPRS.
It’s been a busy few weeks for our students! They’ve been pitching to the media, climbing mountains, testing the new version of LingQ, blogging, creating infographics, enjoying the Vancouver sun (all four days of it so far this summer) and, of course, doing tons of reading, listening and writing on LingQ.
To give Tamás, Emily and Hanna practice with engaging with the startup and language learning communities on another social media channel, we had them sign up for Twitter accounts. Twitter is a great platform for finding like-minded people, and for making connections. They spent part of week six building a presence on Twitter: following people, liking and retweeting content and finding great content online to share to their new connections. Want to know what they get up to outside of the office, what their favourite thing about Vancouver is, or if they secretly hate us? Tweet them!
Rejection. It’s something startup PR and marketing people get used to.
Sometimes you think you’ve written the perfect pitch to an editor or journalist. You’ve read their articles, you understand the audience they appeal to, you’ve reached out on Twitter and suggested a story you’re sure they’ll be interested in. A week goes by and nothing; no response to your “killer pitch”. You send a follow up email, then another a week later. Still nothing.
We wanted to protect our students from the pain of rejection, but we knew they would have to experience it sooner or later. It’s par for the course in the startup world.
I have just over a week left in my French 90-Day Challenge and I want to go out with a bang: I’m going to watch a whole movie in French. I’ve been studying the language pretty extensively for a few months, so I should be able to do it, right?
The end of February is here, and for some that will mark the end of a 90-Day Challenge. How have you done? Are you close to reaching your goals?
É comum que o objetivo de ser fluente numa língua estrangeira pareça vago e ilusório. Nem sempre é claro o que ‘fluência’ significa. Aqueles que ainda não experimentaram a sensação …
Ученикам часто кажется, что они не делают никаких успехов в изучении языка. По этим причинам сам процесс изучения может вас расстраивать.
