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?

Should I Go To University of Richmond

Should I Go To University of Richmond The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Sean is a 2014 graduate of the University of Richmond with a Bachelors degree in History German Studies. He is a Richmond tutor who specializes in Essay Editing tutoring, History tutoring, all levels of German Tutoring, and other subjects. Check out his review of his alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Sean: The University of Richmond campus is set outside the city in a more suburban area, though roughly half the campus falls within the Richmond city limits. Because of its suburban location, the campus is incredibly safe, as well as very beautiful, with a lot of green space to offer students. There is even a lake in the middle of campus. All campus buildings are brick and of the same architectural style, rendering it remarkably difficult to tell which building was built in 1948 and which was built in 2006. The campus itself is small enough for students to walk across in 20-30 minutes, but the campus is bike-friendly, and many students also ride across campus on personal and school-supplied green bikes that can be found on campus for any student to use. In terms of transportation, many students have personal cars. They use them to drive into the city, or elsewhere. There are public buses that can take students from campus to the city, but transportation can often be unreliable, and it ends fairly early in the evening (around 7:30, I believe). The university does, however, provide various shuttle services to students on weekends that take students to a number of different locations: the James River (when it is warm), Carytown (located on Cary Street, Carytown has a number of small shops and restaurants), the mall, Shockoe Bottom (an area in downtown Richmond), and also to The Village (a nearby shopping center with a CVS, supermarket, dry cleaners, and a few restaurants). There are also two Zipcar locations on campus, and all students are eligible to register for Zipcar use. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Sean: Professors and academic advisers are very available, and they generally love meeting with students. Since the student body is relatively small (about 3,000 undergraduates), the student-faculty ratio is also small. Professors encourage (and sometimes require) students to come to their office hours in order to get to know them. Most courses at the University of Richmond do not exceed 25 students, and these are generally introductory courses that have a higher student capacity and demand. As students progress and specialize in their area of study, class sizes typically grow smaller, rarely exceeding 10-15. The exceptions to this are the business school and the sciences. Lecture courses in the hard sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) can often hold 30-40 students (especially at the introductory level), but two labs are offered, which allows students to have more individual contact with their professors. The business school also typically has more students per course. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Sean: Dorm life at the University of Richmond is typically pretty good. The dorms themselves are all nice, and the university recently finished building two new student dorms, as well as remodeling a number of others. First-years typically live in first-year-only dorms, in order to get to know other first-years, which generally have shared hall bathrooms. By sophomore year, students can choose to live in suite-style dorms, which have one bathroom shared by two to four people. In their junior and senior years, students can choose to live in on-campus university apartments that have full kitchens, a living room area, a dining area, two bathrooms, and two two-person bedrooms. The dining hall (affectionately called D-Hall by University of Richmond students) is fantastic, and it has a number of options to satisfy every student. There is a full salad bar, waffle machines, and other rotating stations that feature Asian, Mexican, Indian, Italian, and other cuisines. Students can also find ty pical American fare, such as burgers, chicken fingers, and French fries, as well as many other varieties of food. There are also other cafes and places to eat on campus that many students frequent for lunch. There are many opportunities for students to socialize with one another. Many students are involved in Greek organizations, as well as sport clubs, academic clubs, and social clubs. Most importantly, students are generally very friendly at the University of Richmond, and it is easy to strike up a conversation while waiting in line for coffee. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Sean: The business program and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies are by far the best represented and publicized by the university; however, this past year the university made a much more concerted effort to advertise and represent the many benefits of the School of Arts Sciences. As a result, the leadership and business schools are also better supported, but that does not mean the arts and sciences are under-supported. In fact, a lot of support goes to independent student research at the School of Arts Sciences, with a strong push toward funding more research projects in the humanities and social sciences. I graduated with a double major in History and German Studies. German I chose because I took it in high school, and I wanted to continue improving on the language. I chose History after my first year, during which I took a number of different types of courses. These courses helped me realize what interested me most, and what did not interest me at all. I truly enjoy reading, writing, and interpreting or analyzing a text, particularly in regard to the historical context of that text. This led me to major in history, where I sharpened my critical reading, writing, and analytical skills. The university supported me well for my area of study. I studied abroad in Germany during the spring semester of my junior year, and I received not only constant support from the Office of International Education before, during, and after my stay in Germany, but also some monetary support, as well. Additionally, I was granted a Summer Research Fellowship to conduct intensive archival research for my hon ors thesis while in Germany, which allowed me to extend my stay into the summer. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Sean: Freshman orientation takes place the week immediately prior to the start of classes. During this week, there are a number of activities geared toward introducing students to one another, and many people meet their best friends during orientation. After orientation, though, it is not difficult to meet new people and make friends. Upperclassmen are typically friendly, and there are many social, academic, and sports clubs that students can join in order to expand their friend group. Greek life does have a large presence on campus, and it plays a very large role in campus social life, though many alternatives to Greek life do exist. First years cannot join a Greek organization until second semester, and this often helps first years meet friends outside of Greek life. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Sean: The Career Services Center is very helpful, and they offer daily walk-in hours for students to get resume and cover letter help. Additionally, students can make appointments to meet with Career Services Center staff to talk more specifically about college and post-college career plans. The center also offers workshops on interviewing, cover letter writing, business etiquette, and other topics. Yes, many reputable companies recruit on campus, such as Deloitte (and many other consulting firms), the United States government, Goldman Sachs, and other such companies. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Sean: There are many places for students to study on campus. The library is the most popular, and it is often crowded in the evenings, especially during midterms or finals. The Gottwald Science Center is also a common place for students to study, and it gets crowded less often. Otherwise, dorms lounges are typically less occupied, but they can be noisier. There are also small study areas in each academic building that are very quiet. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Sean: The university campus is set outside the city in a more suburban area. Nonetheless, there is plenty to do in the neighboring area. One of the more popular places to go is Carytown, which is about a 10-minute drive from campus. There are many restaurants and small shops in Carytown that present a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The university is also close to the James River, and students often go there when it is warm on weekends to hang out, relax, and swim. Students go into downtown Richmond less often, but there is a lot to do in the city. There are many monthly events in the city that feature restaurants and art galleries that students frequent. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Sean: The student body is fairly small with about 3,000 undergraduate students. The faculty to student ratio is very good, and class sizes typically do not exceed 25 students. The only exceptions are in the business school and the hard sciences, where introductory courses can reach 35-40 students. Once one chooses a major and more major-specific courses, the class sizes become even smaller. I was very happy with this, as I really got to know my professors, and they got to know me very well too. I quickly became very comfortable with my professors, and I often went to their office hours to discuss not only course materials, but also my life as a student, what I was involved in on-campus, what I would be doing during breaks, and what my long-term post-graduate plans were. This also gave me the opportunity to learn about my professors and what they did/do with their lives outside of academia. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Sean: I was very lucky in that I took very few courses that I did not enjoy. One class and professor stand out in particular, though, because they molded the course of my college career. During my first year, I took a first-year seminar course titled, Civilization and Its Discontents, which was taught by Dr. Leary. Not only was the course reading and writing intensive (which I loved), but Dr. Leary was very welcoming and loved talking to students during his office hours. He would also give us articles that we were not required to read, but which held a lot of information about choosing majors (particularly in the humanities), and what kinds of questions to bear in mind when thinking about what to study. These articles and Dr. Learys accompanying advice helped me through my decision to study history, something that took me a while to decide upon and that I felt was important to think deeply about. Now that I have graduated, I know that I made the correct choice, and I still have the a rticles Dr. Leary gave us for whenever I may need them again. Check out Seans tutoring profile.

Funding To Support Gifted Students

Funding To Support Gifted Students For years politicians and administrators have tried to create educational equality, providing tutors and additional help for struggling students and raising awareness about under-performing schools. But, what about the gifted students? They are the most ignored group of students in America. They are more talented and naturally-intelligent than normal students, and therefore do not need any additional help, at least thats what most believe. Some believe that the American education system should give gifted students more resources, rather than ignoring them. They believe that they should receive additional help and funding to help the future American economy gain a competitive edge, according to an article in District Administration. Industries are becoming increasingly more competitive, and America is beginning to lag behind foreign competitors. American workers are not as skilled compared to foreign workers as they once were, partly because of the lagging education system. Some believe that the future of Americas economy rests in its ability to turn gifted students into leading industry innovators. Therefore, these gifted students need stronger challenges and more encouragement throughout their education, rather than constant ignoring. China and India focus their efforts on gifted students, giving them the best possible education, an education far better than what the average student receives, helping them achieve a competitive, economic advantage. And the question remains, should America do the same? Currently, it is not. The only federal funding for gifted students is the Jacob Javits Gifted and Talented Education Act, which has provided $7.5 million for about 3 million gifted American students. Grassroots organizations have taken interest in this cause, and the Obama administration is beginning to listen. The Equity in Excellence Act of 2010 is currently pending in the House and the Senate. If passed, this legislation would seek to increase teacher effectiveness, accountability and funding for gifted and talented students. Other organizations are simply trying to create more awareness for the gifted students cause, the forgotten group in education. Most groups argument remains the same: focus efforts on these students to help boost Americas economy, making it a more competitive world, industry leader.

Why College Grads Are Turning To Public Service

Why College Grads Are Turning To Public Service 2009 and 2010 were the wrong years to graduate from college, especially for students seeking entry-level positions in the corporate world. After four years of college tuition, many students simply could not afford to pursue an M.B.A. and were then forced to test the waters of the job market. However, in the corporate world, jobs were scarce, leaving thousands of college students unemployed after graduation. The solution: public service careers. In 2009, 16% more recent college graduates took jobs with the federal government than in 2008, and 11% more took jobs with nonprofit groups, according to an article in the New York Times, which cited data from the American Community Survey of the United States Census Bureau. Studies also found that an increasing number of 2010 college graduates took careers with public service sectors. Its not uncommon for me to hear of over 100 applications for a nonprofit position, sometimes many more than that, and many more Ivy League college graduates applying than before, said Diana Aviv, chief executive of Independent Sector, a trade group for. Some of these people havent been employed for a while and are happy to have something. But once theyre there, theyve recalibrated and reoriented themselves toward public service. This public service interest is fairly ubiquitous across America, as applications for AmeriCorps positions nearly tripled to 258,829 in 2010 from 91,399 in 2008. Teach for America applications rose 32% last year, to a record high of 46,359. Also, students are now taking a much stronger interest in colleges departments of public interest, flooding some with record numbers. However, the economy was not the only factor to boost interest in public service sectors. President Barack Obama could have played a major role as well, according to some experts. While campaigning, the president tried to make public service sectors cool and appealing to young people. And the effect, significant increases in public service interest. Other experts believe that millennials, who grew up in the 1990s or 21st century, are much more big-hearted and sympathetic than other generations, possibly because of the community service they were forced to do throughout school. The millennial generation is a generation that is just more interested in making a difference than making a dollar,said Max Stier, the president and chief executive of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit group that advises government recruiting efforts. However, most believe the recession is still the main driving force behind this movement. Since the recession began three years ago, the private sector has cut 7% of its jobs; in the same time period, the federal government has increased its payroll 3%. Graduates in 2009 and 2010 were hit the hardest by the recession. Most 2008 graduates didnt have nearly as much trouble, as they found jobs in their desired, corporate areas. Recent 2009 and 2010 graduates had to stretch to find careers, and many of them did not get their desired jobs, being forced to adapt their skills and degrees to public service sectors. For the most part, the pay for entry-level employees in public service markets is not as high as it is for corporate jobs; however, the differences are fairly negligible. But, after a few years of experience, managers and other employees in private sectors earn about 22% more than those in nonprofit sectors.

Hindi Lessons in London

Hindi Lessons in London Learn Hindi in London with these Top Hindi Classes ChaptersFirstly, a Bit about HindiLearn Hindi in LondonForget the European languages that you learn at school. As the centre of the global political order moves ever further eastward, the languages that will become increasingly important are not the classic favourites of English learners of a second language â€" Italian and French, say. Rather, they are much more likely to be Hindi, Mandarin, and Urdu.Hindi is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. It has over six hundred million speakers â€" more than Spanish and more than French. In fact, nearly more than both of them put together.Alongside English, Hindi is one of the official languages of India â€" whilst it is used more commonly in official documents â€" and it operates as a lingua franca across the whole of the Indian subcontinent.Honestly, it is a hugely important language, for business, trade, and diplomacy. And whilst many Indians speak English, eighty-five percent of them do not. Put this alongside the fact t hat it is one of the fastest growing languages online, and its importance seems to grow and grow and grow.However, it’s not all about business. Rather, learning Hindi can open up a world of new opportunities, relationships, and experiences â€" as well as a much deeper knowledge of your own language.So, to the question, ‘why learn Hindi?’, the most appropriate answer is ‘why not?’.

It comes from Vedic Sanskrit and developed into a distinct language some time around the seventh century.Whilst the official form that is spoken in India developed from the dialect that came out of Delhi, many of the different dialects are mutually intelligible. Importantly, the same apples to U rdu â€" spoken in Pakistan and parts of India â€" which comes from the Hindustani language from which standard Hindi also derives.As you’ll see, some place in London offer opportunities for you to study Hindi and Urdu together. Whilst these are mutually intelligible when spoken, the alphabet â€" and religious connotations â€" differ: Hindi is written in Devanagari, which comes from the Sanskrit, whilst Urdu is written in the Persian alphabet.Hindi is also spoken in parts of the Caribbean, in Fiji, and in different forms across India.Check out Hindi lessons in Manchester too!Travelling to India?
