Italian: Learn Italian in 7 Days!: The Ultimate Crash Course to Learning the Basics of the Italian Language in No Time


Audio CDs: English / Italian: MP3, 71 Kbps (1 channel) | Duration: 03:25:49 | 2015 | ISBN-10: N/A | ASIN: B010Z2KO62

Overal size: 107 MB | Genre: Learning Italian | Level: Beginner




Are you ready to learn Italian faster than you ever thought possible? Welcome to the ultimate crash course!




Do you want to learn Italian? In that case, you"ve come to the right place! Maybe you have already formed a vague idea of what the learning process will entail, and maybe it scares you off a bit. You see, when it comes to learning a new language, we are all in the same game, yet most people don"t realize it.




Most people don"t even take the time to think about how they can speed up the entire process, and they just dive into it extemporaneously. Most people don"t know the right way to learn a language…. That"s precisely why all aspiring language speakers so desperately need the correct system first! They aren"t learning the right way, they"re just learning chunks of the language here and there. And so did I, before I was introduced to proper language learning strategies. It took me time to learn those strategies. It took a lot of time and effort for me to incorporate the secrets into my entire language learning process! And now, I"m willing to share those secrets with you!




I wrote this book for a reason. I wrote this book to tell you how you can learn Italian faster than you ever thought possible. I wrote it to show you how you can step away from the average path and go the whole way instead. You see, I may not know you, but I certainly know something about you: we"re alike. Whether you are just starting to get in touch with the Italian language, or even if you have already started practicing it, I know you don"t settle for average learning methods. I know you want something better. You won"t stop until you grasp the full essence of Italian, until you fully grasp the path of simplicity. You won"t stop until you truly achieve all you can achieve. And guess what? That"s precisely what we will strive for in this book!

Chinese Language Narration: Culture, cognition, and emotion




Chinese Language Narration: Culture, cognition, and emotion (Studies in Narrative) by Allyssa McCabe and Chien-ju Chang


English, Chinese | 2013 | ISBN: 9027226598 | 221 pages | PDF | 1 MB




Chinese Language Narration: Culture, cognition, and emotion is a collection of papers presenting original research on narration in Mandarin, especially as it contrasts to what is known regarding narration in English. One chapter addresses dinner table conversation between Chinese immigrant parents and children in the United States compared to non-immigrant peers. Other chapters consider evaluation patterns in Mandarin versus English, referencing strategies, coherence patterns, socioeconomic differences among Taiwanese Mandarin-speaking children, and differences in narration due to Specific Language Impairment and schizophrenia. Several chapters address developmental concerns. Distinctive aspects of narration in Mandarin are linked to larger issues of autobiographical memory. Mandarin is spoken by far more people than any other language, yet narration in this language has received notably less attention than narration in Western languages. This collective effort is a critical addition to our understanding of cross-cultural similarities and differences in how people make sense of experiences through narrative.

Language of Images: Visualization and Meaning in Tantras




Language of Images: Visualization and Meaning in Tantras (Asian Thought and Culture, Book 71) by Sthaneshwar Timalsina


English | 2015 | ISBN: 1433125560 | 175 pages | PDF | 7 MB




While Indian visual culture and Tantric images have drawn wide attention, the culture of images, particularly that of the divine images, is broadly misunderstood. This book is the first to systematically address the hermeneutic and philosophical aspects of visualizing images in Tantric practices. While examining the issues of embodiment and emotion, this volume initiates a discourse on image-consciousness, imagination, memory, and recall. The main objective of this book is to explore the meaning of the opaque Tantric forms, and with this, the text aims to introduce visual language to discourse. Language of Images is the result of a long and sustained engagement with Tantric practitioners and philosophical and exegetical texts. Due to its synthetic approach of utilizing multiple ways to read cultural artifacts, this work stands alone in its attempt to unravel the esoteric domains of Tantric practice by means of addressing the culture of visualization.

Teaching Language & Literacy to Caribbean Students: From Vernacular to Standard English




Teaching Language & Literacy to Caribbean Students: From Vernacular to Standard English by Dennis R. Craig


English | Jan. 1, 2006 | ISBN: 9766372292 | 304 Pages | PDF | 1.76 MB




In many parts of the world there are situations where the majority of the people speak a vernacular which differs significantly in grammar and idiom from the official language with which it coexists but nevertheless share the majority of a common vocabulary. This is the case in the Caribbean where childhood speakers of English-based Creole languages have significant difficulty in acquiring Standard English and literacy in English. However, pedagogical approaches to the plight of such children have not achieved a generally accepted theoretical position and have lacked consistency over the years resulting in a high level of educational failure in the children. This book uses the English-speaking Caribbean as a case study in its presentation of a rational theoretical framework for classroom procedures in language and literacy teaching. It provides suggestion for the kind of detailed syllabi that need to be implemented at the primary, immediate post-primary and the secondary levels of schooling but goes beyond that with end of chapter notes, questions and even suggestions for practical study and research activities. Teaching Language and Literacy is ideally suited to be used as a textbook for intending as well as practising teachers of language and literacy, as well as language educations students generally at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Although the book focuses on the English-speaking Caribbean, it will have relevance in similar vernacular situations where English is an "official" language, most notably in parts of North America and Britain where there are significant migrant populations form the Caribbean but also in African American communities of the USA where "Black English" is the everyday norm of speech.








Development of Geocentric Spatial Language and Cognition




Development of Geocentric Spatial Language and Cognition: An Eco-cultural Perspective by Pierre R. Dasen


English | 12 Aug. 2010 | ISBN: 052119105X | 408 Pages | PDF | 4 MB




Egocentric spatial language uses coordinates in relation to our body to talk about small-scale space ("put the knife on the right of the plate and the fork on the left"), while geocentric spatial language uses geographic coordinates ("put the knife to the east, and the fork to the west").
