How to learn a million English words

Language-English you are learning are always growing (Paul J.J. Payack), Not like French, "English has the tradition of swallowing new words whole," he said.

TV and some e-books, thinking in that way they can know every word after days of hard-work. However, many college English majors tell me they feel just disheartened in memorizing so many words. After years of accumulating thousands of words, they still meet a great many new words.

Actually, not every English-speaking person knows all words in the English vocabulary. An average educated person knows about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 words in a week. Just do your best!

Here are some personal tips for reference:

1. Find a way to the language.

2. Try to learn more about the country and their people but not only focus on the grammar.

3. Create an environment for yourself.


Striving for excellence

“Try not to be a man of success, but rather to be a man of value. Schools tries to instill among the students a sense of success. In other words, the quest for success is more important than the success itself. Our urge to success makes us more competitive and capable.” Albert Einstein.

Learning a foreign language helps us getting an edge over our competitors. It will land us in getting some plump jobs in the international arena.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.” Abraham Lincoln.

Relevance of the Study of Interlanguage to Teaching Efl at the Tertiary Level

Introduction
A second/foreign language learner takes a linguistic journey from his/her mother tongue to the target language and naturally constructs a personal linguistic system in the interim time. This individual system is termed ‘interlanguage’ (Selinker 1969, 1972), ‘approximative system’ (Nemser 1971), ‘transitional competence’ (Corder 1967), or ‘idiosyncratic dialect’ (Corder 1973). In a narrower sense, interlanguage refers to the intermediate status of the second/foreign language learner’s system between his/her mother tongue and the target language. In a broader sense, it stands for the second/foreign language learner’s present knowledge of the language he/she is learning (Spolsky 1989). In a general sense, interlanguage is defined as ‘the interim grammars constructed by the second-language learners on their way to the target language’ (McLaughlin 1987:60).

Conference Bags Can Be Pre-Stuffed

If you have a booth at a conference then you will notice how people are walking around with a pile of stuff. So, you can be the event champ by giving out handy bags, with your company logo, for people to put all their treasures in.

You could end up with a longer lasting, better bag that will no doubt get used again. You still can keep a nice size space for your logo, maybe even an entire side for yourself and sell of space on the other side.

A conference bag would be super nice it it came with surprises already inside. A helpful sponsor could map out the layout of the event area so everyone could find the powder room and beverage stands. A local guide is a good idea if the event will last for a few days. A schedule of events is good for everyone to have as well.

The conference bag can make or break an event. A crummy bag that won't last the day will not encourage people to spend a leisurely day. A great bag will help people hold things and will make them more at ease. Something that is easy and comfy to carry and hold is what you need. Those bags will get looked at all day, on the flight home, and then in the neighborhood.

A Necessity to a Happy Home Life

A Necessity to a Happy Home Life, a must for every home for health hygiene. Upholstered furniture such as chairs, sofa beds, sala sets, and ottomans are everywhere in a home. It cannot be avoided that they accumulate dust, get soiled, and become stained. Dining table chairs are very susceptible to stains and getting soiled because of food and beverage spillages that take place during dinners. Sala sets and ottomans most of the time get soiled because children are so fond of jumping on them and adults sometimes absent-mindedly place and curl their legs on them without removing their shoes.
