Download or read book Learn Italian While Traveling in Italy written by Halbert Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian is a beautiful language (L'italiano è una bella lingua), and many tourists in Italy wish they knew Italian so they could speak to others in their native language. Residents of every country appreciate foreigners who speak some of the local language. Even if they speak English, they know that a foreigner has had to study and practice their language to be able to speak and understand even brief phrases or sentences. They are usually very tolerant of any mistakes and are willing--even anxious--to help someone who has an interest in their country and language. So, let's combine the objectives of seeing the country and learning some Italian. In this way you more truly experience the country and the culture, rather than just seeing the surface. Let's assume you have decided to go to Italy and that you have about 6 months before leaving, so you decide to begin studying now, so you will know some basics of the language before arriving there. You want to be able to read signs, understand basic information, ask directions, and give simple instructions to taxi drivers, hotel clerks, and waiters in restaurants. The trip described in this book is one possible itinerary, an example of a first or second trip to Italy. Obviously, your trip could be different, very different or a little different, but the itinerary taken here gives you a good general view of the types of attractions and activities that you will find in Italy. Hopefully, it will give you ideas about which cities, sights, attractions, museums, monuments, historical sights, and restaurants would be of interest to you. It should help you design your own trip to fit your own interests and your own budget. We believe that the travel aspects of the book will provide significant motivation for learning the language, as you will see the advantages of speaking in the language of the country. And learning the language typically motivates travelers to learn more about the country--the people, the arts, the culture, the economy, the history, the politics, and the geography. The combination of traveling and learning the language enhances one's personal satisfaction, as well as his/her knowledge and potential for developing friendships and business/professional relationships. The language instruction in this book is designed to be a starting point for beginners, as well as a review for those who have already studied Italian and want to refresh their language skills. It also provides the necessary basics for continued study, should you become excited about Italy and this beautiful language and want to become even more proficient. You may decide you want to return often and stay longer--perhaps much longer!

Download or read book Travel as a Political Act written by Rick Steves and published by Rick Steves. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change the world one trip at a time. In this illuminating collection of stories and lessons from the road, acclaimed travel writer Rick Steves shares a powerful message that resonates now more than ever. With the world facing divisive and often frightening events, from Trump, Brexit, and Erdogan, to climate change, nativism, and populism, there's never been a more important time to travel. Rick believes the risks of travel are widely exaggerated, and that fear is for people who don't get out much. After years of living out of a suitcase, he still marvels at how different cultures find different truths to be self-evident. By sharing his experiences from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East, Rick shows how we can learn more about own country by viewing it from afar. With gripping stories from Rick's decades of exploration, this fully revised edition of Travel as a Political Act is an antidote to the current climate of xenophobia. When we travel thoughtfully, we bring back the most beautiful souvenir of all: a broader perspective on the world that we all call home. All royalties from the sale of Travel as a Political Act are donated to support the work of Bread for the World, a non-partisan organization working to end hunger at home and abroad.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

Download or read book English for Academic Research A Guide for Teachers written by Adrian Wallwork and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific English is possibly the most rewarding area of EFL teaching. It differs from English for Academic Purposes (EAP) as it is directed to a much smaller audience: PhD and postdoc students. Courses on Scientific English are held in universities throughout the world, yet there is very little support for teachers in understanding what to teach andhow to teach it. This guide is part of the English for Academic Research series. Part 1 of the book sheds light on the world of academia, the writing of research papers, and the role of journal editors and reviewers. Part 2 gives practical suggestions on how to help your students improve their presentation skills. In Part 3 you will learn how to teach academic skills using nonacademic examples. Parts 1-3 are thus useful for anyone involved in teaching academic English, whether they have used the other books in the series or not. Part 4 suggests two syllabuses for teaching writing and presenting skills, based on the two core books: English for Writing Research Papers English for Presentations at International Conferences This book will help you i) understand the world of your students (i.e. academic research),ii) plan courses, and iii) exploit the What's the Buzz? sections in the books on Writing, Presentations, Correspondence and Interacting on Campus. Adrian Wallwork has written over 30 books covering General English (Cambridge University Press, Scholastic), Business English (Oxford University Press), and Scientific English (Springer). He has trained several thousand PhD students from all over the world to write and present their research. Adrian also runs a scientific editing service: English forAcademics (E4AC).

Download or read book Revenge of the Translator written by Brice Matthieussent and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of a novelist and translator collide in this visionary and hilarious debut from acclaimed French writer Brice Matthieussent. Revenge of the Translator follows Trad, who is translating a mysterious author’s book, Translator’s Revenge, from English to French. The book opens as a series of footnotes from Trad, as he justifies changes he makes. As the novel progresses, Trad begins to take over the writing, methodically breaking down the work of the original writer and changing the course of the text. The lines between reality and fiction start to blur as Trad’s world overlaps with the characters in Translator’s Revenge, who seem to grow more and more independent of Trad’s increasingly deranged struggle to control the plot. Revenge of the Translator is a brilliant, rule-defying exploration of literature, the act of writing and translating, and the often complicated relationship between authors and their translators.
