Ever wish you could be proficient in a second, or third or even fourth language? It won't be easy, but it is possible and extremely rewarding to know and be fluent in many languages. There are several aspects to learning a language: listening skills, speaking skills, writing skills and reading skills. All are equally important, so try not to lag behind in any one category. You can join a class, hire a private tutor, or try to learn at home. The more work you put in, the more you will improve.
Why Most Fail in Language Learning & How You Can SucceedJohn Fotheringham
If an adult fails to learn a foreign language (and most do), most of us assume they simply don’t study hard enough or just aren’t good at languages. It’s certainly true that some learners are lazy, and given the same methods, certain folks tend to pick up languages faster than others. But neither of these is the real issue; both are but symptoms of the underlying problem: 1) crappy methods, 2) crappy materials, and 3) crappy attitudes.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder In School: Let Me Learn Good BehaviourJoaquim Colôa
In this communication we began by advocating the evidence is mounting the medication for ADHD doesn't make a lasting difference to school work or achievement. So the medication should be the last solution and medication for ADHD is more effective when combined with other treatments, arguing that the teamwork with professionals from various disciplines is essential.
Then questioned whether the perspective of HDHD in schools Is a perspective of abnormal behavior or abnormal environment. From this questioning we elaborate the thesis of ADHD is fundamentally a school Adjustment problem. To this end we propose some general ideas that seem important to adjust the school, classroom accommodations and management welcoming students with ADHD, general.
We finish support the belief that the important thing is criticize the behavior, not the student, but above all Increase praise, approval, and appreciation of student’s good behavior and work performance.

Most people think just by born good looking is a good personality, but this is far from the truth, however, good grooming and looks is tiny part of it, the scope of personality development is quite broad.
Personality means characteristics and appearances of a person, his/her way of thought, feeling, behavior, communication ability, how to dress well and interpersonal skills.
The personality can also be modified to a certain extent, as previously people were thinking good personality is by born. But in recent years have seen a variety of efforts by professionals to design courses, that develops certain positive trends in personality. The objective of such courses is to remove those barriers or obstructions that stand in the way of the good personality.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

How to learn Chinese
1. How to learn Chinese How to learn Chinese is a frequently asked question. Occasionally, people would like to find a tutor to help them learn Chinese. Actually, in modern times with fast development of internet, online mandarin Chinese seems more efficient. In some cases, taking part in a face-to-face class could be inconvenient due to scheduling, traffics, safety, etc, especially for those kids who intend to learn Chinese for Children. Online mandarin Chinese avoids all these problems. Through internet, Native Chinese teachers can offer professional Chinese for Children and propose useful advice on how to learn Chinese. What’s more, online learning also offers convenience and flexibility.We are now the only Chinese language service provider, the largest and best-known Chinese training school in the world. http://www.Sino-Center.org.)We focus on teaching you what you need to know when you need to know it. We give you the structure and context words so that you can quickly build vocabulary that makes sense. In this way, learners have a contextual queue from the structure which allows them to look up specific meanings more easily. Chinese uses many such structures.It's a very effective method: learn Chinese language starting from the most frequently used Chinese words and characters. Chinese language learning has been made easy focusing on the 1,000 most common Chinese characters that make 89% of all Chinese language usage. Traditional Chinese teaching method try best to let Chinese learners master every word, Pinyin and grammars. These tasks torture every learner. These friends, with great interest to Chinese culture learning, will lose passion and patience under this kind of learning method and atmosphere. They can not communicate with others though they stick to learn until the end as it is deaf and dumb Chinese.
2. Actually, as driving a car, language is a communication tool for humans and it is a repeated process to master and learn it. Will it be effective to drive a car well only through talking by method and skills? People with common sense know that driving a car needs practice. Through iterative practice, application, revision and practice again, it will realize the fun of driving with agilities. So, driving is not leant but by practiced. So do the language learning, it is practiced. The language is like a communication tool, which needs to be used iteratively and mastered flexibly, but not to be combined with formulas and tools for communication like math or physics tools. The word is not the element in the formula either that can be combined randomly for results.Buy a CD, a book, or software, or join an online Chinese class, and teach yourself. One of the more economical ways of learning. You can control the pace of yourself and don't need to worry your awkward pronunciations. However, the challenge for the method is to keep you motivated after the initial honeymoon stage. Like diet plans, many people bought piles of different CD, software, or books, and try to get a fresh start every time. Without exception, the busy life push the learning again and again. They ended up as perpetual beginner. Also, without someone correcting the pronunciation, the awkward accents will just stay there.Go to China and take an immerse class. It's the most effective way of learning Chinese. Almost all fluent Chinese speakers mastered the language in China up to now. For example, Australia Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, started his Mandarin journey in Australia National University, majoring Chinese Language. However, he only mastered the language after he spent years living in Taipei and Beijing. If you have time and funding, the best way of learning Chinese is to go to China. You can take an immersion class, like the one offered by Sino-Center.org in collaboration with Communication University of China. By learning Chinese in class, living with Chinese neighbors, and interacting daily with regular Chinese. Then you will master the language in no time. By the way, another great advantage is that you might build a network there with local Chinese and fellow Chinese learners.Hire a tutor and teach you face to face. Set up a schedule, and then you can meet with your tutor regularly and start to explore Chinese. It is more manageable than going to China and you can still learn authentic Chinese if can find and afford a good tutor. The tutor might also open the door of the local Chinese community for you. One drawback is that it is hard to find a native Chinese speaker who is willing and able to teach Chinese outside certain areas. Also, you or your tutor needs to beat traffic to meet at the class time. In metropolitans like New York City or Los Angels, it often means commuting on the road for hours. It is even worse in inclement weathers. Another drawback is that the available time slot might be limited. You don't enjoy driving or taking bus at midnight, do you?
3. Online one-on-one tutor. A brand new method thanks the proliferation of Internet and multimedia. One of the pioneers is Sino-Center.org. Like the previous method, it provide face to face tutoring or teaching, but through Internet using video conferencing software, such as Skype, MSN Messenger, etc. It provides several unbeatable advantages that make it the method of choice in the coming future. First, like personal tutor, it is one on one, so you will get personal attention from your teacher. Second, since the teaching is conducted over Internet, it can be held anytime and anywhere as long as there is broadband Internet access. No rush to subway or highway, and no worry about snow or storm. Third, the schedule can be very flexible to accommodate your work and family schedule. Late night or early morning is never a problem, and indeed preferred due to the time difference between China and US. Last but not least, it is affordable. Given the relatively low living cost in China, the tuition is often half or a quarter to the price asked by a tutor in America. Plus, by eliminating the commute, you can save some gas, which is getting more expensive every day, and help to protect our environment. Practice reading and writing characters at every opportunity. Make some character cards with a single large character on the front and the character's pronunciation and meaning together with words and/or phrases featuring the character on the back. Carry these cards around with you and refer to them whenever you have a moment. To learn new vocabulary, using several short sessions (a few minutes at a time) is more effective than using one long session. You can use the time while riding the bus, eating breakfast, waiting for class to begin, waiting in line at the grocery store, and even walking across campus, to review new words.The only way to learn Chinese characters is to memorize them. Writing will enable you to use motor memory for recall; otherwise characters can be quickly forgotten. Rather than writing one word many times before doing the next one, write each word once or twice then go through the whole list again until you've done the required number of repetitions. This will put the new words more firmly in your memory.Make vocabulary flashcards. The physical act of writing reinforces words in your memory, while also giving you an easy way to prepare for tests. Code cards for word class (verb, noun, etc.) and carry them with you for review during spare minutes. Play on-line games to reinforce character recognition. To prepare for vocabulary quizzes, make a 3-column vocabulary sheet with characters, pinyin, and English definitions. Fold the paper so only one or two columns are showing and take practice written quizzes.
