Learning Chinese - live lessons vs. MP3 learning part1
When
it comes to learning a foreign language, most students know all about
the traditional CD and DVD courses that are advertised on websites
and on television. These CDs or DVDs feature an instructor who walks
you through the lessons one at a time, leaving a gap in between their
pronunciations and yours so you can practice your language skills. If
you need more time, you have to replay the lesson.
This, of course, can
be frustrating, particularly when you’re learning a language
like Chinese. The pronunciations are very exacting and you’ll
quickly find yourself wearing out the replay button on your computer
as you go back and forth in the lessons.
The 2 Types of Recording Studio Soundproofing
Two good options for recording studio software
If you are working on a home recording studio you probably are interested in soundproofing it. Not everyone in the suburbs of Indianapolis, IN or Los Angeles, CA wants to hear your drums at 4 AM after all! An added benefit of recording studio soundproofing is that it will also mean that the only thing you are hearing in your control room is exactly what the microphones are catching. This isolation makes making engineering decisions a little easier.
Digital Photography: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same.
Photography has embraced enormous changes in technology in recent years. There appears to be a huge gap between the old ways and the new. But as time goes by, it seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Digital photography has created an interesting divide between two schools of photography. There are the old-school film photographers who dismiss all things digital as inferior, not the same as ‘real’ photography. Then there are the wholehearted digital converts, who think film photographers are living in the dark ages.
Crossing Bridges
It was quite an eye-opener to him and the thought of using that term again won’t cross his mind for some time to come…
The sound of the river was soothing after the rush to help pack gear and get 12 teenagers and 4 adults set up at our campsite. For the past few months, our group had trained for a 10-day trip to Guatemala with a series of lessons on teamwork, cross-cultural communication, and basic Spanish. The leaders hoped that the teaching times would help to bridge the gap between the culture our teens had grown up in and the way of life in Guatemala. This weekend’s camping trip had been scheduled as the final session.
Perfection Is Overrated
Are you always striving for perfection? Here are some reasons to spend less time hiding your mis-steps and blemishes, and more time enjoying your life.
The great cellist Pablo Casals was once asked by the sound engineer during a recording session to redo a section where the intonation had been a little off. Indignant, Casals replied: “But that’s the way I played it!”
As someone who hears the constant voice of self-criticism, I was struck with admiration for Casal’s integrity. How many of us have such loyalty to “imperfect” reality that we would refuse the opportunity for a do-over? Most of us are much more focused on achieving perfection — a life free from flaws and mistakes.
