The best time to learn something.

Hi guys how have you been?
please someone leave a message I need some feedback to know if you like my site.
Anyway. I have seen that I can learn better in the mornings and at nights, in the morning just after I wake up until 10 am, and at nights from 8 pm to before of going to sleep. I feel calm, without worries in the mornings, and at nights I feel the same and inspired.
In the mornings I use that time to learn some Chinese, I listen to the audio and write what I listen to. And at nights I read in English, Chat, and Translate things.
When I'm worried I can't focus on studying anything, it's like if I read something and don't understand a word. So you have to be relaxed anytime you want to learn something.
Sometimes I'm lazy and don't study but when I wake up I told myself study Chinese even though I don't feel good cause little by little I'll learn something new today, and when I get toghether all that knowledge I'll feel very proud of myself. Persistence is the key of success.
Like everybody says when it comes to learning a language it's better to study 30 min a day to study 8 hours together once a week.

Si tienen información podemos intercambiarla o publicarla aqui en el blog para aprender todos. Saludos!

Possessives in Chinese

I started it over with my Chinese studies. Today I learned something about possessives. We have to use the word "de" to refer to the possessives. Let's see some examples:

I - Wo3.
My - Wo3 de.
My house - Wo3 de jia1.
My friend - Wo3 de peng2 you3.
My good friend - Wo3 de hao3 peng2 you3.
My very good friend - Wo3 hen3 hao3 de peng2 you3.
My friend's house- Wo3 peng2 you3 de jia1.

This is very basic but it's very useful. If you are studying chinese by yourself this is great.

guitar players

I have some favourite guitar players, in fact right know I listen to one of them, he's an italian-american and his name is Joe Satriani. His own signature guitar is Ibanez and has his own signature pedal fx too and amps. I don't know the style he plays It's something like fusion of genres.

John Petrucci is another talented guitar player, he plays in the band "Dream theater" and has recorded many cds, one of them is an instrumental cd called suspended animation, by the way it's too cool. He has his own signature guitar Ernie ball music man, it's a 7-string electric guitar.

Another one is Paul Gilbert whom I have listened to him just few times. I don't know so much about him, he plays like jazz,blue, rock genres and his fingers are really long. He has many guitar clinics for the japanese people and has his band called Mr Big. He can speak japanese.

Steve Vai is another talented guitar player that was alumni of Joe Satriani. It's well known around the world. I don't know so much about it either.
There are many others who I haven't listen to them like Martin Friedman (Megadeth).

And of course I think the first one in developing the guitar techniques and
feeling was Jimy Hendrix.

I could write the roll and I'll never finish it.

Music is something than can change us. I really appreciate the music as long
as it makes me feel better and gives me some kind of joy.

So Just seat and listen to your favourite guitar player, band, orchestra or
someone singing. You'll enjoy it a lot.

Thank you for having two hears!

Illegal Immigration

Illegal immigration.

I watched the news and I was shocked when I knew that 240 illegal immigrants were caught. They were travelling in 2 trailer trucks, around 120 people inside each container. Some of them were tied.
They were from Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Nepal, China, Japan and other central america countries. They spent around 7 thousand dollars each one. I can't imagine how the guy from Nepal, China and Japan could have cross the planet without being caught.

I'm sorry about them because they want to get a better life, they had dreams, and today the dream is over, on the other hand they had died if they should have continued with the trip because the temperature in the containers was too hot and the air was little. So they should think that they're lucky to get a second chance to live.

If they had joined all that money they could've opened a company instead of going to the USA for the american dream. The american dream is over!!!.

Ross Kemp Extreme world

I've been watching a British tv program with Ross Kemp who is an actor and has made roles as a ganster in the soap operas.
He has been in different places all over the world where there are troubles, such as violence, drugs dealing, deforestation, pollution, etc. One of his programs was shot in Ecuador, and Brazil. The big trouble in Ecuador is that one of the oil companies deforested a big area of the Amazon rain forest to drill and get the oil in the area, and this company made a ecocide dumping all the toxic waste in big ponds that kills all of the animal and vegetation around. It seems the government has done nothing to make the company clean up the zone. Then the second place is Brazil where the deforestation in the rain forest is vast, there are illegal sawmills in the area, and the police is trying to stop them but it seems they need more organization. A guy from greanpeace says that a tree makes more money than the drugs and that's why the people are destroying the forest. That's too sad because the rain forests absorbs a big amount of CO2 of the atmosphere. There are rangers who prefer to have cattle instead of rain forest and they say that if the world wants them to conserve the rain forest then they should pay for it, because everybody lives better than them and is polluting the world with the Air conditioners, cars, etc.

Another spanish note

Hi Guys =) Thank you for visiting my blog.
This time I'm going to talk about something about Spanish that it's really easy to understand but sometimes we don't know how to conjugate it.
It's a pain in a neck to learn this correctly.
If we use the verb print -IMPRIMIR- and you need to say Have you printed the document already? We have to say - ¿YA IMPRIMISTE EL DOCUMENTO?. Is it printed? - ¿ESTÁ IMPRESO?
Another dificult thing is to express if you fit in a little space, for example when you're on a bus and you want to sit, and there are no room to swing a cat because of the distance between seats, and you have to say that you don't fit there. So you must say NO QUEPO. QUEPO comes from the verb CABER.
The big mistakes that we made are:
PRINT- IMPRIMIR IMPRIMIDO (WRONG) - IMPRESO (CORRECT)
FIT -CABER. CABO (WRONG) - QUEPO (CORRECT)

I hope this will be a great help. Please leave their comments.

Ciberlife

Nowadays with the usage of Internet we can meet people from all over the world and there are no barriers. We can use different software packages to keep in touch with friends, we can use msn, paltalk, skype, sharedtalk, livemocha, facebook, twitter, orkut, etc. And we can spend a lot of time chatting with our friends. And maybe we can feel something for them and maybe we can save money to meet that person in the real life.
Once I was in a chat room and a friend asked me to join to a website where we can create our avatar and we can interact with other avatars, there are cities and apparently It was like the real life but virtual. Of course I didn't want to try that software because I prefer not to spend a lot of my time in that. In that site you can not prove if the person behind the computer is a guy, girl, child. People can lie easily and if you trust them you can end up frustrated because someone play along with you.
Although it's difficult to trust people on internet, it's true that I can notice when a person is sincere, easygoing, and talkative, so I consider them as my friends and I think I'd great to meet them in person someday.
We have to be aware of not giving our personal data to any person. Because it's well known that like people steal numbers of credit cars there are people who steal identities. So let's wide open our eyes.
