Learn a Foreign Language



  Halo, apa kabar? Vous parlez Français? Sprechen sie Deutsch?. Ok ok, that's enough, Hopefully, you could guess what language was that. Learning a foreign language is one of the positive ways to grow our brains. Ouw right, we get it. Learning a new language is challenging, frustrating, sometimes could be a nightmare. It can be hard to zero in on what language learning tactics would be especially helpful for your personalities. Good news mates, here are some fresh ideas on the best way to learn a foreign language. 

  Knowing your motivation. This is the first step to learning a foreign language. If you don't have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay motivated in the long run. Motivation is quite tricky to build. But no matter your motivation, once you've decided on a language, it's crucial to commit. Without that, you'll eventually burn out.

  Make new friends. Today you can find a community easily on the internet or at events. If there's a community of people who speak the language you want to learn, start the events. Friendship is one of the best ways to learn a foreign language and the easiest way to get comfortable with slang, intonation, and mannerisms. The great part about making a friend who already speaks the language is that you will be able to practice freely without feeling self-conscious. 

  Keep practicing and have fun with it. Using your new language in any way is a creative act. Think of some fun ways to practice your new language such as writing a poem, simply talking to whomever you can, listening to podcasts or radio with the language you're learning. 

  Every language sounds strange the first time you hear it. The more you expose yourself to it, the more familiar it becomes, making it easier to speak and comprehend. Keep in mind that learning a language can take some time. There is a process as long you're consistent. Trust your experiences and the knowledge you've gained so far.  

  Have fun learning a foreign language and as always, have a nice day😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
