How can one improve one language skill to as high a level as to explain abstract things and how long?
February 3rd, 2010Can u tell me ways to improve one’s language skill until the level that he/she can talk, write and about philosophy, religion or abstract things immediately without having to think a lot. Or he/she can think and dream, explain procedures or difficult abstract concepts like stuffs about Buddhism in that language. And how long will it take to this level if one practices that language in this suggested way?
The quickest and most efficient way is to submerse yourself in said culture. With no use of your native language you will soon (2 weeks) begin thinking and dreaming in your new tongue. How long it takes you to learn the vocabulary of language depends upon your conversations and your ability to soak it up. The younger you are the easier it will be, as the juvenile mind is very flexible.
How much of a French population smokes cigarettes?
February 3rd, 2010Every time I see a French person, I see a cigarette in their hand. How common is it for French people to smoke cigarettes?
Yes I would have said about 30%, more if you count people who like to smoke cannabis once a while. There are less and less smokers now cause cigarettes are expensive. 30% is still a lot, but it was about 50% some years ago (like in the 70’s).
But a lot of young people smoke (50%) at school and then stop when they are older. I used to smoke myself when I was 12. I stopped at 16.
I sometimes have the same feeling than you, cause most of my friends are smokers ( more than 90%).

Should I learn the English Cursive before I start to learn the Cyrillic alphabet?
February 3rd, 2010Also, would I have to learn both block and cursive Russian? Also, do other languages with the latin alphabet write in cursive?
You need to learn Russian cursive if you want to be able to read handwritten Russian.
On the other hand, although cursive is the standard method of handwriting in Russia, consider that most communications are done electronically now-days, so learning to write in cursive is up to you. Everyone will still be able to understand if you write in block letters, and you can pick up on reading Russian cursive without much effort.
P.S. If you decide to take up Russian cursive and feel that starting out in English will be easier, go for it. The styles of cursive are identical.

How did the English language get Latin roots?
February 3rd, 2010My world history teacher will up soemones grade if they answer this question….
If Latin is a romantic language and English is a dramatic one, how did we get Latin roots in English?
English is a Germanic language, not "dramatic." Latin is the ancestor of the Romance (not "romantic") languages but is not one itself. (The Romance languages include French, Spanish, Italian, and several others.)
English has a large stock of words of Latin origin for several reasons. First, the area that is now England was part of the Roman Empire for almost 400 years. No other country that speaks a Germanic language was under Roman rule. Although the Romans withdrew from Britain (about A. A. 409) before the Anglo-Saxons migrated there (c449), the Roman place-names remained.
Then, England was the first Germanic-speaking area to become Christian. Missionaries arrived from Rome in A. D. 597, and the various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms converted within a few generations. Of course Latin was the language of the Church, so quite a few Latin words came into the language at that time.
Finally, in 1066 English was conqureed by the Normans, who spoke French and made it the official language of the country through most of the Middle Ages. When English re-emerged as a literary language, it had absorbed a great deal of French–a Romance language. (This last fact is probably the one your teacher is fishing for.)
What is the diference between american and german lines of german shepherds?
February 3rd, 2010-Is there a huge main difference?
-Is there a difference in appearance and looks?
-Which would you recommend for YOURSELF if you had to choose and why?
-random: What does "gait" mean when referring to a german shepherd?
If you can’t answer all of them but some of them, I will still be grateful. Thanks you guys.
********Is there a huge main difference?
Essentially, there are 3 main lines among the German shepherd breed:
You have your American show lines, which you commonly see in Westminster shows and of course, in the AKC show ring.
And from Europe, you have the West German show lines, which are seen in the SV (the German shepherd breed specific club) show rings, and also commonly referred to as "high lines".
Then there’s the German working lines. The working lines are actually split between the West German working lines and the Czech/DDR German working lines. The working lines are, for the most part, the dogs you find among the police force, the army, and working as bomb or drug detection or SAR.
If you want to talk differences regarding temperament,yes, there is a great deal of difference. American show lines, in my experience, tend to lack in working drive, and many in the show ring do not have the bomb proof nerves I favor myself.
The same goes for the German show lines. The intent is that they are a compromise between the working dog and the show dog – a line with both correct conformation and ideal working drive. Unfortunately, many dogs among the high lines do not live up to the standard, and the working drive and temperament in the majority of those dogs are not as excellent as they appear to be.
And as for the German working lines, despite their working drive and usefulness among the police and army, many will declare that they are too much "dog" to handle, and are unable to become a perfect family pet. There are others stating that the focus on working ability makes a breeder turn a blind eye to conformation faults, and thereby creating "ugly working vicious German shepherds".
However, what is important is the individual dog and breeder. A truly reputable breeder will not look to breed for extremities, and will ALWAYS breed a perfectly healthy dog with a correct, stable temperament. A great deal of health and temperament faults are a result of breeders who’s practices are not reputable or responsible..
Many examples of excellent working American and German show line German shepherds can be found. A great number of American show line GSDs compete in agility and are herding instinct tested. And for the German show lines, the Kirschental dogs are a fantastic example of the working show line GSD. And all of those reputable breeders will produce German shepherds with a true, fearless, GSD temperament.
********Is there a difference in appearance and looks?
Yes, there is. American show lines mostly consist of black and tans, with a lighter bone structure. Among them, are the dogs with a sloping back, whom many may call the "ski-slope back".
The German show lines are usually a deeply pigmented black and red, with a heavier bone structure. Among them, are the dogs with a curved back, which many refer to as a "roached back" or a "banana back".
It should be noted, though, that these roaches and slopes and so called "extremes" may also be a result of the way a dog is stacked. A handler could easily present a dog in a way that over stretches or makes a GSD look overangulated, simply to appeal to the judges, when in fact, the dog has a perfectly straight back.
The German working lines are harder to characterize as far as looks, seeing that they are not bred for the conformation ring. They tend to have a straight back and sable seems to be the most common coloring, although there are many bi-colors, all blacks, black/tans, etc. among them. The East German working line are often distinguished by a blocky head and "stocky" body structure.
The show lines give the German shepherd the look we love, and the working lines give the German shepherd the working ability. It’s a combination of beauty and brains that creates the breed we admire so much.
********Which would you recommend for YOURSELF if you had to choose and why?
I would personally choose a West German working line GSD, as I already own two and wouldn’t trade them for the world. It is of my opinion that they exemplify the ideal German shepherd, because I personally place working ability over conformation to standards. I value their drive, their fight, their tough, die hard, in-your-face attitude they have, and their fearlessness. I value their ability to work with me in the sport of Schutzhund, and the way they keep me on my feet.
Yet, I also recognize the fact that these are not the dogs of choice for everyone. Someone who does not want a dog that’s always reading to "work work work", or someone who wants a dog with the conformation to compete in the show ring may not choose this line. What’s important is knowing what you want, and communicating that with a reputable breeder.
The individual dog is more important than the lines, in my honest opinion.
********random: What does "gait" mean when referring to a german shepherd?
The gait is, as already stated, not just referring to a German shepherd. However, the German shepherd may just be the most "famous" for their gait, which is to appear to be a "flying trot". When they gait, they are to have far reaching strides and have the appearance of flying (not literally, of course) across the ground.
I hope I was of help.
Is it common for autistic people to have learning disability?
February 3rd, 2010I know there are some autistic people out there that don’t have difficulty in learning. I have moderate autism and a learning disability, so I just want to know how common it is for autistic people to have learning disability.
Is there any link between autism and learning disability?
If you have autism, do you have a learning disability and how fast can you learn? If your children has autism, do they have a learning disability and how well can they learn?
Yes, but it’s impossible to know just how common.
Psychologists will tell you that many autistic students also have learning disabilities. Most commonly, you see learning disabilities in reading comprehension, written expression, and math reasoning for higher functioning autistic students. For others you may also see problems with basic reading (the ability to recognize and pronounce words) or speech and language impairment.
Autistic students might be able to read aloud a text far above their grade level, but be unable to answer comprehension questions about very simple children’s books. That would be a learning disability in reading comprehension.
They may be great at arithmetic problems. But if you give one a word problem to see how they come up with a strategy to solve it, they might just add every number mentioned in the problem and give you the sum as their answer. That might be a learning disability in math reasoning.
However, autistic individuals are very special–not at all standard. Psychologists have to make so many special accomodations and adjustments just to get through the standardized tests, that the scores they get from them are basically meaningless and definitely not standardized. In other words, autism sometimes makes it impossible to accurately test for learning disabilities. Most of the time, we don’t have much more of an idea of what the autistic student can do than we did before we gave them the test.
What is base ? used for in verb conjugation (Japanese)?
February 3rd, 2010is it used for informal / past??
because I was told that for FORMAL PAST I’m supposed to use base 2 (the i base) + mashita, and for formal past NEGATIVE I use base 2(the i base) + masen deshita.
so what is the ? base for?
Yes, it is the informal past.
For example:
To study in dictionary form is-????. It ends in an u sound, in this case ru.
Formal/standard conjugation for past tense of study: ??????
Therefore, informal past is: ????
You can make any verb informal/past in a similar way.
???????
?????????
