The Captain's language learning group
I've created this group to combine the international community of I-Power, with its various languages, and to encourage learning for the site. Learning is a part of self development, and communication is half the battle in anything. I've also linked to a site called Livemocha that I'm using to learn French, and which could help others to learn English. It has good lessons and resources, a section for cultural exchange, and the opportunity to talk with native speakers to enhance your skills. We can all utilize this, along with other resources, amongst ourselves as a team effort for increased efficiency; and if you know of any other helpful sites or tools, feel free to share them with us here.

Learning tasklist
Tasklist:I've come up with the idea of a tasklist, as sort of, a guide to help someone learn. Just opening a book, or article can seem like a huge cluster of information, hard to absorb at once, so I…Continue

Hi there everyone :)
I'm currently studying linguistics and would love to help out with any technical enquiries concerning language. I don't claim to have all the answers, and the field itself has a number of theories as to how we use language, but I'm happy to find out what I can to help others grow and learn.
English is my first language, (first language is often referred to as L1, with any other language being designated L2.) I have learnt some German and some Chinese:Mandarine, but my knowledge of these is only rudimentary.
Most cases that I have seen, where individuals have difficulty learning a language, amount to issues understanding the cultural context in which particular words and phrases are used. When this is the case it is very handy to have someone around who has the target language as their L1, as they are generally the most equipped to answer contextual questions. There are other ways of working these things out but nothing beats first-hand experience.
I applaud the formation of this group. :)

Timo Kerremans replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"Yes I agree with that, a global change in the state of mind.I think if every single person in the world has an enormous feeling for solidarity, it is possible to create a working system where money would be obsolete.

Tim Young replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"I believe an entirely new paradigm is required. A global mindset shift away from the notion of "profit" and towards co-existence within a cooperative framework."
Timo Kerremans replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"What might be a solution for this profit-based society?They say money can solve a lot of problems, but these problems are mostly created by the bad use of money. I think you can't solve problems with the same thing that caused them. "
Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"Yes that's similar to the usual advice one might see. And most of it is good advice. The only problem I have is with the "ignoring". Good in theory but in practice not always that easy - especially with the more persistent…"

Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"Yes well, you could speculate forever as to the why. But how will you ever know the real truth - unless you get some actual trolls to fess up. I am guessing honesty is not their strongest suit.

Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"The moment you let a troll get under your skin and you react with anger or similar - then they are getting exactly what they want.
So anything BUT getting angry or pissed off with them works a lot better.
