Download or read book Espanol Para Hoy written by Ann Lesman and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1992 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a textbook for first-year college Spanish. The grammar has been simplified in order to free the instructor to concentrate on developing conversational skills. Most college texts say that their objective is to develop oral proficiency, but they include many grammar concepts which a student will never master conversationally in the first year. Español Para Hoy has been simplified as much as possible. Although the grammar presentations have been streamlined, the number and variety of exercises practicing each concept have been expanded. This gives students the opportunity to master the basic concepts well and to feel successful doing so.

Download or read book Spanish as an International Language written by Deborah Arteaga and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish is a pluricentric language, meaning that it has several centers of prestige (e.g., San Juan, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Lima). Moreover, Spanish, like all languages, evinces sociolinguistic variation, in that levels of formality are expressed through the use of different structures. Given this variety, students of Spanish will inevitably come into contact with variation Spanish. This variation in Spanish adds layers of complexity to the learning and instruction of the Spanish language; therefore, a linguistic understanding of variation is crucial for our students to achieve communicative competence. This unique work, which provides an overview of the most important linguistic aspects of Spanish within a context that recognizes variation, assumes no prior linguistic knowledge and is appropriate as a valuable resource manual for teachers and learners of Spanish alike.

Download or read book Maintaining a Minority Language written by John Gibbons and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores two main areas. First, what a high level of proficiency in two languages consists of, and second, what factors can produce this high level of bilingual proficiency. Higher level language is usually acquired at school, but many minority language students are educated in only one language. The book therefore examines other factors in the development of the minority language, such as home literacy practices and positive attitudes, that might contribute to the development of high bilingual proficiency.

Download or read book Kiwi on the Camino written by Vivianne Flintoff and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it that is motivating thousands of people to leave behind the comfort and securities of home, put heavy boots on their feet and a pack on their backs, and head off to walk the route known as the Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James, following in the footsteps of the hundreds of thousands of people who have walked the Camino down through the centuries? In 2014, Vivianne Flintoff took an extended leave of absence from her place of employment to walk both the Camino de Santiago and the Camino Finisterre. With her husband, Bruce, she began the seven-week, nine-hundred-kilometer (five hundred miles) walk at St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France, crossed the Pyrenees, and walked the French route to Santiago de Compostela. Two days later, Vivianne and Bruce put their boots and packs back on and headed off to walk the remaining one hundred kilometers (sixty-eight miles) to Finisterre on the Atlantic Coast, to the beach where legend has it that St. James preached and to where his disciples brought back his decapitated body. In Kiwi on the Camino: A Walk that Changed My Life, Vivianne courageously, honestly, and with humor tells of the pain, (she badly sprained her left ankle just three days before beginning the Camino), fears, anxieties, challenges, fun, and friendships encountered along the Way of St. James. Her life is radically changed at the completion of this epic walk. Viviannes meditations shine light upon her inner criticisms, and gradually, with each step, she lets go of self-judgment and becomes self-compassionate. Vivianne comes to a place of life transformation, where she is no longer prepared to live a highly stressed life. Her journey speaks to the many people struggling to juggle the complex demands that a contemporary life requires.

This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to develop intelligent applications with sequential learning and apply modern methods for language modeling with neural network architectures for deep learning with Python's most popular TensorFlow framework. Key FeaturesTrain and deploy Recurrent Neural Networks using the popular TensorFlow libraryApply long short-term memory unitsExpand your skills in complex neural network and deep learning topicsBook Description Developers struggle to find an easy-to-follow learning resource for implementing Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models. RNNs are the state-of-the-art model in deep learning for dealing with sequential data. From language translation to generating captions for an image, RNNs are used to continuously improve results. This book will teach you the fundamentals of RNNs, with example applications in Python and the TensorFlow library. The examples are accompanied by the right combination of theoretical knowledge and real-world implementations of concepts to build a solid foundation of neural network modeling. Your journey starts with the simplest RNN model, where you can grasp the fundamentals. The book then builds on this by proposing more advanced and complex algorithms. We use them to explain how a typical state-of-the-art RNN model works. From generating text to building a language translator, we show how some of today's most powerful AI applications work under the hood. After reading the book, you will be confident with the fundamentals of RNNs, and be ready to pursue further study, along with developing skills in this exciting field. What you will learnUse TensorFlow to build RNN modelsUse the correct RNN architecture for a particular machine learning taskCollect and clear the training data for your modelsUse the correct Python libraries for any task during the building phase of your modelOptimize your model for higher accuracyIdentify the differences between multiple models and how you can substitute themLearn the core deep learning fundamentals applicable to any machine learning modelWho this book is for This book is for Machine Learning engineers and data scientists who want to learn about Recurrent Neural Network models with practical use-cases.
