4 Slick Ways to Have a Memory Like an Elephant When Learning a Language

4 Slick Ways to Have a Memory Like an Elephant When Learning a Language 4 Slick Ways to Have a Memory Like an Elephant When  Learning a Language There is an elephant named Butterfly.But you have the hardest time remembering her name.So lets try a little exercise: Picture the elephant in your mind. Now make her ears spread out wide, as if they were wings.In fact, make her ears  big monarch butterfly wings in your imagination. Take it a step further and make them as colorful and crazy as you like.Now whenever you see your elephant, call up that image with the butterfly wing ears, and you should instantly remember her name: Butterfly. Memory problem solved!What does this have to do with language learning?Our memories are essential tools for learning a new language. Yet at times, it may seem impossible to  retain all of the thousands of words we try to absorb  (or even to remember someones name)!We’ve all come across those polyglots who can switch from Spanish, to French, to Portuguese, to Russian, to German  without even batting an eye. I’m sure most of us assume that their brains are just wired differentlyâ€"that they were born with a special ability to absorb new languages that we will never have.Maybe.Or, much more likely, they just have great memories.The good news is: so can you.Just like  we can strengthen  our physical bodies, we have the ability to grow and enhance both our short-term and long-term memories.With four simple tricksâ€"including the one used aboveâ€"youll  be able to  retaining new information better than before, and have  the extra space you need  in your brain  when learning a new language. 4 Slick Ways to Have a Memory Like an Elephant When  Learning a Language1. ExerciseYes, the dreaded work out. If you already work out consistently, then you’re in great shape (no pun intended). Turns out though, that working out isn’t just good for our bodies. It also does wonders for our brain function.  Certain physical activitiesâ€"like racquetball or choreographed dancingâ€"require our brains to use a lot of concentration, and that  coordination increases the capacity for learning.S tudies have shown that cardio workouts increase the size of the hippocampus. This is the area of the brain that is associated with forming new memories and learning. So, when we’re learning a new language, we want to keep this area of the brain stimulated in order to  increase our ability to retain new vocabulary.No need to break the bank for this either; anything that causes you to break into a small sweat will help. This even includes household chores. So maybe do some sweeping, take a brisk walk, join an exercise group or simply spend some time at the gym. Just make sure to get your blood pumping!Take it a  step further:  Incorporate your target language into your exercise. If exercise were always fun, wed all look like Heidi Klum. Since this isnt usually  the case, you need to find something that truly motivates  or entertains you. While working out, try swapping out your regular playlist with some music or a podcast  from your target language. Itll improve your comprehension, and also help take your mind off of the physical activity.You could also do a workout video  in  your target language. Searching YouTube will be the quickest way to get you hands on these workouts  vids.Go even further:  Learn the names of the equipment youre using or the exercises youre doing, or start counting  your reps aloud in your target language. Exercise  is the perfect activity for mastering basics like counting and commands. If you have a regular workout, try narrating what youre doing in your target languageâ€"as if you were leading an exercise class!2. Eat Brain FoodFood doesn’t just keep us fit and energized. There are lots of nutrients in food that are essential to our brain function and development. Some of these vital nutrients are omega-3 fatty acids,  Vitamin E, anthocyanin, selenium  and folic acid.They all play different roles in helping to improve brain function, among the other wonderful things that they do for our bodies. When eaten on a regular basis, thes e foods can help improve your  memoryâ€"which can assist you  on your  language learning journey.Heres where youll find these nutrients:Omega-3s: Salmon, tuna, walnuts, dark leafy greens, cauliflower, squashVitamin E: Brazil nuts, walnuts,  cashews, sunflower seeds, nut butters, tahiniAnthocyanin: Berries and grapes, apples, eggplant, red onions, red beetsSelenium:  Tuna, cod, oysters Brazil nuts, oatsFolic Acid: Broccoli, dark leafy greens, avocado, beans, lentils, citrus fruitTake it a step further: Use these foods as part of your language learning process. While youre stocking up for all of this delicious brain food, why not create your grocery list in your target language? You could  also create a colorful food chart/collage to keep on your fridge. Label all of the foods in your target language, and make the chart really visual. This way, youll remember to keep these foods in rotation on your grocery list, while also drilling the new vocabulary into your brain.Go even further:   Try following new recipes in your target language using some of your brain food. Youll be learning and getting a taste of the culture at the same time. Its a full-on immersion experience without ever having to leave home.3. Use MnemonicsMnemonics  can be a really  way to help us remember new concepts or vocabulary. One that pops into mind is Stephen Colbert’s funny My Very Educated Mother Just Said Uh-oh! No Pluto, which works doubly to help us remember the order of the planets from the sun, and that Pluto is no longer classified as a planet. Mnemonics can effectively help us with language learning, too.BAGS. This was the mnemonic used by my middle school French teacher when we learned adjective placement, which is an acronym for Beauty, Age, Goodness, Size. It’s something I learned early on in life and still remember and use to this day. So while sometimes it may seem tedious to come up with these mnemonics, the pay-off is well worth it. They can stay in our minds forever, whic h is exactly what we want when we are learning a new language.Mnemonics don’t always have to be whacky sentences or acronyms. They can also be something visual, like our elephant named Butterfly. The point is to create  associations that will make it easier for you to remember the words or grammar rules you’re learning, so that you can recall them  easier.For example, the French word for ladder  is  Ã©chelle.  So here, you might  pull up an image of a ladder and then imagine a huge, colorful seashell perched on one of its rungsâ€"because  Ã©chelle sounds something like the English word shell. Many Eastern languages  work especially  well with mnemonics, as their characters  sometimes look like the object  they mean.Take it a step further:  Use mnemonics to learn genders of nouns.If your target language has gendered nouns, use mnemonics to remember not only the meaning of the word, but the gender as well. Using our same example above, the word ladder is feminine in French:  la é chelle. So you might make your ladder bright pink or red in your vivid imageâ€"or whatever color youd like to associate with feminine nouns.As this isnt an  exact science; a lot of the mnemonics you come up with my be a little silly or weird, and thats okay! This is about memorizing the vocabulary in a way thats easiest for you. No one can see whats going on in your head, so go for it.4. Build a Memory PalaceA memory palace is technically another type of mnemonic device, but it calls upon our spatial memories and requires a bit more explanation. It’s one of the most useful and effective tools we can use when learning a new language (or for anything we’re trying to memorize). While it may sound complicated, it simply takes some getting used to.To start building your palace, just pull up an image of  a familiar settingâ€"like your home, work or school.  Then, you need to create a floor plan. If you want to start small you can imagine a single room. However, if youre up for a chall enge, you can imagine your entire house, apartment, gym  or any place that  you can picture clearly in your mind. This will give you more places to put memories.Your  map can be mental or you can actually draw one. There should also be a clear route from room to room. You want to be able to move freely from one room to the next without backtracking, so you may need to knock down a few (virtual)  walls in your palace.  Then, make sure you memorize your palace, taking a walk through from start to finish.Once your palace is memorized, you’ll want to identify storage units or numbered stations. This is where you will put words or information youd like to remember. You are literally creating spaces in your memory where words will go, using details from your palace, so be sure to remember these stations.After you have your route and your stations clear in your mind, you can start the storage process. You can be as literal or as creative as you want. For instance, if you’re learning Fr ench, you might store the French word for door, la porte,  right on the outside  of your  front door. La porte is similar to the English word  port, so you might paint a picturesque seaside on your front door. Or better yet, turn  your entire front yard into a harbor with crashing waves and fishermen. The crazier and more vivid, the easier youll remember it.The next time you need to store a new word or concept, put the mnemonic  in the very next slot inside your palace. When you run out of space in one palace, create a new one, but do it in a way thats  easy for you to remember. Take a daily stroll through your palace so you don’t forget. It will soon become a part of your working memory, and your mind will eventually be able to recall the word meanings without the mnemonics!Take it a step further: Visit your palace in real life. If youve chosen a real place that you have access to, you can practice in your memory palace in real time. While youre physically in the space that you h ave designated as your memory  palace, take time to  reinforce  the stations in your mind so that you can more easily recall them while youre away.Notice all of the details in your actual palace, and look for new spots to store memories.  Every now and then, rather than your visual walk through your palace, take an actual walk through. You might even put up visual reminders in your real-life palaceâ€"like a picture of a harbor on the front door of your home to remember la porte.While learning a new language is always going to be a challenge, these small steps can completely jumpstart your memory. With a sharp memory (and a healthy body!), youll be in the best possible position to excel and reach your language learning goals!

Preparing for the World Cup Language Challenge

Preparing for the World Cup Language Challenge My 8 World Cup (Language Challenge) Goals! As the World Cup Language Challenge start date slowly approaches, one of the most common questions we receive is, How do I prepare for a Language Challenge? Well, you can simply dive right in and start taking lessons or you can plan each week and maximize your learning. Our guest blogger and World Cup Challenger Lindsaydoeslanguages shares with us her weekly Language Challenge goals! This post originally appears on Lindsaydoeslanguages. ITALKI WORLD CUP LANGUAGE CHALLENGE: MY WEEKLY GOALS With the italki World Cup Language Challenge creeping ever closer, now seems like the perfect time to give you a quick update before it all kicks off. (I’m just gonna keep the football puns coming…) Have I started? Nope! The italki World Cup Language Challenge begins on June 1st, so there’s still time to sign up! What I have done though is booked all 25 lessons in advance because I know that for me, having the lessons booked now will take away the pressure of booking last minute. I have also set myself 8 weekly goals. (Told you, there’s plenty more where that came from…) My 8 World Cup (Language Challenge) Goals! Week 1  To read a short chapter of “Caro Bruce Springsteen” out loud on video. This may sound completely random but this is to prove that language learning doesn’t have to be expensive. I picked up this book from a book stall in Portugal last year for just 50 cents! Week 2  To read a random news article from the internet out loud on video. This may sound like a lot of reading, but in the early stages, I really want to work on improving my pronunciation and making it sound more Portuguese and less Spanish. Personally, I find reading really helps with this. Week 3  To learn the entire lyrics to Ai Se Eu Te Pego So this is, like, the greatest song ever. And it’s Portuguese. It just seems rather fitting! Week 4  To write and recite on video a short piece written about myself by myself As arrogant as it sounds, being able to talk about yourself is pretty useful for making friends in other languages. It also helps to learn any random vocabulary that you need, such as “I jetski” or “I love my Jack Russell puppy”. Week 5  To identify the difference between the Spanish and Portuguese in Danza Kuduro Ok, so maybe this is, like, the greatest song ever. I can’t call it between the two. However, I think being able to identify the different between the Spanish and Portuguese in this song will really help me to split Spanish and Portuguese in my brain. Week 6  To commentate a bit of the World Cup…(maybe) live! This is the goal I’m most nervous about â€" but also most excited about! (Like a penalty…oooo, that was bad) I’m going to do my best to describe what the heck is going on in the World Cup final in Portuguese. And I might do it live. Let me know in the comments if you think I should do it live! Week 7  To describe on video, in Portuguese, script-less, my experience commentating football After the rush of last week’s goal, I think this week will need to be a little more relaxed for my own personal sanity! I plan to talk scriptless about a past experience â€" meaning I’ll have to use different tenses, adjectives, emotions (maybe that means subjunctive in Portuguese?! Eek.) and lots of other jazzy constructions sans-script. Week 8  To use 8 Portuguese idioms naturally in a video Throughout the Challenge, I’ll be avoiding red cards (That one’s weak. I apologise.) by learning 1 common Portuguese idiom each week. I plan to use them as naturally as possible in the final week’s video! So there you have it. My 8 goals for the italki World Cup Language Challenge. Let’s just hope England can score as many as that over the next few weeks. Dont forget: theres still time to nominate me for Top 100 Language Lovers 2014! Find out how and what youll get from me if you do right here.

College Students Praise LinkedIn Banning Prostitutes

College Students Praise LinkedIn Banning Prostitutes Courtesy of Huffington Post While the previous user agreement has still prohibited unlawful activities, a LinkedIn representative said during an  interview  with  Mashable that the changes in LinkedIn banning prostitutes now  reflect both legal and illegal prostitutes. In the old [user agreement], we had it covered by saying that one could not use a profile to promote anything unlawful. However, in some countries, that activity actually  is  lawful, the representative said. The prostitution laws vary substantially around the world. Some countries offer legalized, regulated prostitution in limited places, such as the  11 Nevada counties  in the United States. Original image courtesy of Betabeat Many college students  acclaimed LinkedIn banning prostitutes from using the site speculating that LinkedIn is making an a priori move  to avoid the notoriety Craigslist has been suffering from its “adult services” section, which was removed in September of 2010. On LinkedIn, unlike on Craigslist, anonymity is virtually nonexistent, which means the prostitutes names and location are identifiable on site. This invites the idea that no illegal prostitutes would create a public profile on site; why would prostitutes who are not lawfully registered take the risk of advertising their services online? Instead of realizing that no illegal prostitutes in their right mind would create a profile on LinkedIn, LinkedIn prohibited all prostitutes and escort service providers. By LinkedIn banning prostitutes, it not only benefits the companys brand image, but also informs the public that prostitution is a  professional  profession unworthy of partaking in the companys prestigious networking site. With the revised user agreement, LinkedIn also hopes to become a more viable and welcoming environment for college students who use the site to land their first job. Professional prostitutes, infuriated by the recent changes in LinkedIns user agreement, are said to have created a professional networking website called LickedIt, which allows promotion and solicitation of all nude, full body massage services.

10 Important Differences Between Spanish Portuguese

10 Important Differences Between Spanish Portuguese Sign up successful To help you get started, our friends at LiveLingua  put together a post showcasing some key things to remember. Heres part of the article: 1. Difference between hasta and hacia. In Portuguese there is no hacia preposition. There is the preposition até, but we need to explain the difference very well so students can learn how to use it properly.  In short words, hacia indicates the direction in which we move and hasta the point at which we arrived. 2. The preposition “a” after many verbs. The most common example [in Spanish] is “ir a.” I guess it must be weird for some Portuguese native speakers to use an expression even found in Portuguese, but adding an “a” in the middle. Let’s have a look at this sentence: Vou sair agora ( Portuguese), Voy a salir ahora (Spanish) 3. The position of reflexive pronouns. The rule is very simple. In Spanish, when the tense is either gerund or infinitive, the pronoun merges to the end of the verb. Otherwise when the verb is conjugated, the pronoun is placed before the verb and not joined. Example: dormirse, bañarse; se durmió, te bañaste, etc. 4. False friends or very similar words. Every language has to face this issue. We only learn this when we come across those words. There is a funny word which needs to be clarified: almóndiga. This is a Spanish slang word which means “meatball,” but in Portuguese is pronounced albóndiga. In Portuguese a vagabundo is a person who leads a bad life, while in Spanish it is someone who lives on the street (morador de rua in Portuguese). 5. Muy or mucho? In Portuguese this is easy: muito is the only word compared to those two. Muy is used before adverbs and adjectives, while mucho is placed either before a noun or after a verbs. When we want to make a comparison, we always have to use mucho. Example: Es mucho (no muy!!!) mejor que tú. The article goes on to list five more differences between Portuguese and Spanish continue reading it  here! Now, ready to get started learning Portuguese? Keep these tips in mind: Determine your learning style and goals.  Instead of blindly jumping  into learning, have a plan in place. Are you learning for fun? Do you want to be fluent? How do you learn best? Knowing the answers to these will help you stay on track. Here are some guiding questions to start with. Find a conversation partner. The most important part of learning a new language is understanding the context and having real conversations with others, and practice makes perfect! Instead of simply memorizing vocabulary words, make the effort to talk and listen! Work with a tutor.  Taking 1-on-1 lessons with a language tutor is a great way to get that conversation practice. TakeLessons offers both Portuguese tutors and Spanish tutors to help you improve. Readers, do you have experience learning both Portuguese and Spanish?
