6WC began with the first minute of a Wednesday (August 1st), so it's only reasonable to think that it will end with the last minute of a Tuesday (September 11th) ... I'd say. Edited by Bao on 09 August 2012 at 9:26pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Why? It's very useful. And the switching between languages is part of the usefulness.

This is interesting. Not about the music thing, but in general. I hear a lot of people talk about finding it difficult to go back and forth between their (non-native) languages. I used to have to "switch" my brain from one language to another. Now that I am doing Assimil (almost) exclusively for four or five languages, I do all of my lessons basically in a row. (Yeah, I know. Brain overload!) Some days my brain just has enough and doesn't want to learn any new material, but most of the time, I find that switching languages re-invigorates my studying. If I do 20-30 minutes of one language, then switch languages, and come back to the first language later, I get a lot more out of it than if I try to do more at one time. I think it's training my brain to switch a lot easier when I do this, averaging three to five languages a day. When I watch multilingual videos, or do self-talk, or simply just study, I have very little problem switching from one to the other. 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I have no problems switching languages while listening to them, or while learning them.
Sometimes I watch 5 minutes TV in one language and when the interesting stuff ends, I just change the channel. Recently, I've been doing Michel Thomas Dutch during commercial breaks on German TV ;) (that's time management, you gotta admit :)). Speaking languages is different. I'm often joking that I have English and German in one little compartment in my brain, and French and Spanish together in another one. I used to struggle with switching between English and German a lot (for some reason, no matter what my level was, German seemed to be more "expansive", and I switch easier from English to German than the other way round. Switching between French and Spanish is still very hard, I end up looking desperately for some very simple words like 'but', 'next', 'very' etc. because they keep coming in the other language. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

In English, we start counting natural numbers from 0, so they come like this: 0, 1, 2, ..., 23, 24. Therefore, 23 > 0 (read twenty-three is greater than zero) is true. Sorry if I didn't explain it too well. I don't know how many years of a school you have finished, so I don't know your level of maths. You can contact this page, though. I hope it'll help you. It's linked to other pages that might be of use to you. Edited by Takato on 10 August 2012 at 1:01am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU.
Ahem. I know this very well but I see English native speakers mess this up all the f**king time, saying e.g.the midnight September of 12 while actually meaning the midnight of September 13. Maybe this should be accepted as correct, since so few people go to bed before midnight, so for them it's not the beginning of a new day :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
