039 - a moot point

Mitä tarkoittaa tehokas ajankäyttö ja miten sitä voi soveltaa uuden kielen opiskeluun? Tässä jaksossa puhun tehokkaasta ajankäytöstä osana oppimisprosessia, itsensä johtamiseen kielenoppijana ja itsensä kehittäjänä.

Mitkä ovat vinkkini tehokkaaseen ajankäyttöön:

3 Anna itsellesi aikaa oppia ja palautua.

O português teve a língua árabe como uma boa influenciadora na sua formação. Essa realização aconteceu duas vezes… A primeira foi entre os séculos VIII e XV durante a ocupação dos Mouros na Península Ibérica, os Árabes levaram muita cultura à população, o problema era que pouquíssimos locais sabiam ler e escrever latim e a maior parte da população falava o chamado latim vulgar que depois viria a ser o português, então quem se aventura a conhecimentos acadêmicos, além de ter que saber Latim, tinha que saber Árabe, ou seja, ser bilíngue, dessa forma, uma mistura das duas línguas seria totalmente espontâneo com o passar das décadas - e também, os Árabes eram a maioria, sendo cultos ou não, assim…

This episode describes the journey from the airport to the hotel, and gives you the vocabulary you may need for taking the underground. 
Please also use this for pronunciation.

Now that I’ve gone through customs and found my way out, I have to find transport. I go past the welcoming committee of people thronging to greet their loved ones, and look for signs that show bus, car, or train. 

I decide to take the train or underground railway. It’s called the Metro, the Underground, or the Tube in most countries. I have to ask about the best ticket for my journeys around the city, so I go to the ticket counter to get help. Once I know what I want, I can just use my debit or credit card and go to the self-service kiosk. 

I buy my ticket, and pass through the ticket barriers to go down the escalators to the floors below. I keep reading the boards to see if I’m going in the right direction.  It’s a long walk, and I sometimes have to carry my suitcase down the stairs. I begin to wonder if I shouldn’t just have taken a taxi. 

Some people offer to help, and, because it’s so heavy and no one could just run away with my luggage, I agree gratefully. 

The Tube is crowded, but I manage to find a seat. I listen carefully for my stop, and hop onto the platform. 

Once I’m out of the Tube station, I see my hotel across the road, so I go through the entranceway into the lobby. At least this hotel doesn’t have revolving doors, because it’s really awkward to manage that when you have baggage. 

I go straight across the lobby to the clerk at the reception desk. I tell them I have booked a room and tell them my name. They ask me for my passport or other identity document. I give it to them. I go to my room and the valet brings my luggage. I give him or her a tip.

I unpack my bag into the cupboards and drawers. I take a shower with the freshly laid out towels. I am now ready for my exploration in the town.

Please feel free to book a lesson with me. #knowmyteacher #pronunciation
