Here in the UK, travel restrictions have been lifted for some countries. But if you're thinking of travelling, please check your government's advice and take precautions! Also check the advice of were you are thinking of going first.

Finally going home!! // 我终于回家了!
มุมมอง 3554 ปีที่แล้ว
It's been four months since lockdown in the UK and travel restrictions have eased! Which means I can finally go home again!! I can't explain how good it felt and what a relief it was to see my family again after all this time. It's not just the time apart that was the struggle, it was not knowing when this would end. Anyway, this was my trip on Thursday. Brief because it's just from my Instagra...

    Fun video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

    Thank you for a wonderful list of free resources. And no, it's not "stingy" (I get that to), but rather we (all) need to look for value. This is because, on the internet now, anyone with a phone can upload a podcast. And everyone has a phone. That means there's a lot of junk out there. Worse than money is the waste of time. So a preview / demo like what you have done, is really helpful! (But maybe check the snapping fingers and pointing? Maybe it's few, but some of us who grew up with authoritarian wagging finger parents, teachers waving rulers around, it brings back bad memories!)

    Do Singapore use traditional? I thought they used simplified. In any case, starting with traditional gives you an advantage because guessing simplified is easier.
