What are language interferences ? I guys today I will talk about language interferences ! First you will ask me what's that creepy thing . And then I will ask you. Have you ever respond to someone in an other language than the one you were currently using or spoken in Chinglish (it's weird especially if you aren't chinese, chinese learner know what I mean :p)? People who can speak many languages ,usually 4 or more and sometime just 3 , can have problem searching the right language to use when they speak or the right Grammar (here comes the Chinglish). For me it have begun when I began to learn German I was always messing up German and English while speaking German, but I got no problem with other languages. Then I have begun to learn Chinese, and so now I know 4 languages :p. But why does those language interferences happen? It's quite simple you can't distinguish completly the different languages you know, then when you know 2 or more languages you learn the next ones by making parallels and analogies (seriously it really help ^^). Thus the frontiers between the languages you know become very tiny and you begin to make mistakes and even in your own mother tongue. (Yeah that's creepy ^^) But in the same time you have to always take care about how you are making your sentences, applying the Grammar , using the right words . And it's very funny ,because you speak better all the languages you currently know (even your mother tongue). But it raise up some big problems like how can you switch your accent from french accent to english or american one (personaly I need to speak english for 10 minutes before getting the right accent )? Then the sentence constructions are so different ( french, german, english, and chinese don't use the same patterns to build sentences). Morover the words don't have the same meanings in each language and also don't have the same gender (when you say das Mädschen in german "neutral" , or la jeune fille in french "female" . For people who don't speak either french nor german it means the young girl) .The gender point is maybe the most difficult in learning languages(that's why I like chinese and english ^^). Last thing when you know and use many languages you are thinking in different languages at the same time , and when one is drunk or really tired one can use the wrong language without noticing it and it's realy funny ;-). So thank you guys for reading it and maybe talk to you on skype or talk with you about something else ! Bye ! Tschuss! 再见 !

Toefl traning 4 Every generation of people is different in important ways. How is your generation different from your parents’ generation? People from different generations don't have the same references ,haven't seen the same series or advertising and they don't have the same experiences. Though people from different generation can't think the same way My parents belong to the Baby Boom generation and are over 60 years old . And I'm 21 years old and belong to the Y generation . It's a 40 years difference between our ages and so we didn't go through the same things . To begin with , my parents always say "at your age" so and so ,you can only respond them that times just change and that in 40 years the world is just so different. The first big difference is about studies, today we are pushed to do long studies, but before people didn't went on studies cause companies needed manual work force and today it's mostly "intellectual" jobs. Then there is the difference about computer literacy, 40 years ago there was no computer and no internet, and those 2 things are well known among people of my age . Moreover there are the differences in tv programs , when you talk about animates or series they just don't imagine that those can exist . and when i watch the 40 years old series and films I can stare the numerous and huge differences between our 2 generation. To conclude, there are many other differences but as I'm tired I will conclude by saying that it will be exactly the same if I were to have kids,because when i see the today under 10 childs , they look so different . So it really show that generations' gap will always exists among the different generations.

The Video Games : a bad or a good thing ? Today most of the people are firing at the video games industry, saying that video games are too addictive ... But is that really true for all them ? Or just an isolated case ? Are video games only a bad thing ? I don't agree with people saying that video game are a bad thing ^^. Even if some of them are really addictive , like candy crush or others small free to play games , and the most of the mmorpg (massive multiplayer online role playing game).Indeed others sort of video game can be addictive but not as much as the 2 previous sorts . But why those 2 types of game are so addictive ? When it come to freenium (free to play where you can buy thing that make ones stronger) games the aim is to make the players frustrated, because you block or slow down their progression in the game , thus player get a bit pissed off and buy virtual credit with real one , it's the freenium economical model . The other type of addictive games is the mmorpg type , cause you are asked to play a lot to get the good stuff and to level up your avatar to be able to play on the high level content and playing with other people . In fact the biggest cases off nolifeism ( nice neologism ^^) take their origins from mmorpg game , cause it's really easy to cut oneself for others playing those video , thereby you just replace ones social life by only online players (that's the real problem with mmorpg). This second paragraph draw a very grim view of the video games industry . But playing video games have many pros when you reasonably play them (reasonably is the big problem here ) . First it's really relaxing and allow you to free your mind from everything . Then it can be a good way to improve your intellect , indeed there is a lot off educative games , and in other way playing video games like rts (real time strategy game) improves your skills in managing information en to proceed them and fps (first person shoot game) improves your reflex . Therefore playing video games is not that bad, in fact playing most of video games need you to use your intellect and capacities . Moreover it's a good way to make many friends , by just communicating with other players . I will conclude by saying that playing video pose no threat if you play them in a reasonable way, and they are a really good way to improve your intelligence , reflex , knowledge . So why don't you give it a try ?

A teacher’s ability to relate well with students is more important than excellent knowledge ? To begin with this topic, both skills are really important . Indeed , if your teacher doesn't know the subject he is teaching , how can he teach someone even a single thing , or if he is so bad at communicating that he can't even speak normally and be logic , then he is for sure a really bad teacher and his students are in big troubles to succeed in the subject he teaches. Though I will only consider the case of "normal" teachers that know their subjects and can relate pretty well with other people. In the first part, I will take the case of student's of my kind . We would rather say that the ability to relate and to make things interesting and clear is the most important one . But this skill is really hard to get. You have to be maybe a good storyteller to captivate your auditory, to know how to behave with students , use the KISS (keep it simple and stupid) methodology, which is to my mind the best one , and finally be able to adapt to everyone by teaching specific methods to each students . I think the fact that a teacher can make is subject interesting and sound easy to understand is more import than being the best in the subject , because finally you just nearly don't care about this, what matter still his ability to brought you the basics to be able to introduce you to the methodology and the concepts . But for some other folks its the opposite . They are more confident and trustful toward the teacher if he is one among the best in is the subject , and that really help them cause what they need is mainly that he bring his students a lot of information about the subject, and feel that their teacher really know his subject . I have many friends thinking this way . But they have abilities that not anybody have, the ability to learn by heart without understanding . They need a lot of "data" of the subject and they can do the decomposition and understanding alone . I conclude this topic by saying that it depends only on the type of people the teacher is teaching is subject . But for my case the teacher ability to relate with students is way more important that being excellent in his subject, to me teaching don't require to be good in the subject, it's how can you explain something in a way your auditory can understand.

The pros and cons of learning many languages In today world you more and more need to be able to speak and understand many languages. But one thing still the same has before : you first need to reach a very high proficiency in English. As communication in a firm is becoming each day even more important , mainly cause of the globalization , learning a person language is a way to understand him better. Indeed , when you really learn a language , you learn a culture too , a " civilisation" as we say in french it involve , the country history , the way of life, tradition , language references , language origins ( for example German only exist since 1525, and was created by Luther from Prussian's dialect ), the way of thinking . Moreover it's a very good way to make many friends and to meet a lot of people really fast , and it's a good way to communicate when you try to pick some up from a other country (as me if you don't like your country's girl ^^ ). Now get back to what you were doing. To finish this paragraph , to speak different languages is very funny, cause each languages implies a unique way of thinking and view of the world , that's make you being a different person for each languages you speak. But they are some pros too , the first and biggest one it's that to learn well a language you will need a huge amount of time , and need to practice it nearly every day , so it's very hard , and the most important think is that you will need to speak it a lot before being able to really communicate using this or those languages. To illustrate this I will talk about my own experience : 3 years ago my German was as good as my today's English but I wasn't able to practice s I forget it all , but the funny thing is that when I can speak it it tends to come again pretty fast . The last thing I've learn some Chinese soon ( mainly cause 中国女孩子太可爱了 ^^ pls don't translate it :p) and was able to practice it time to time and although was able to make great progress in a really short time (if you wan to talk with me to ensure your self about this ^^ ) . Though to my mind it's a great think to speak some foreign languages but you have to know the culture bound to those languages too . But still that to learn a new language take an huge amount of time. If you like this ( maybe nobody will read it :-( ) feel free to ask me for an other dissertation abut whatever subject you are interested in . Bye ! Thank for reading this !
