Finding Percent Online Tutoring - Maths Tutors

Finding Percent Online Tutoring - Maths Tutors Percent means out of hundred. For example if we say Twenty one percent that meanstwenty one is divided by one hundred. We can say that the percentage is a fraction in which the denominator is one hundred. Any value which is too calculated is divided by one hundred to find the percentage. The fractions, decimal and the percentage are associated with each other. All these are interchangeable. The fraction can be changed into decimal and the decimal can be changed into the percentage. 21% = 21/100, 85% = 85/100, 63% = 63/100, 17% = 17/100 Multiplying percentage is associated to find the percentage. When any fraction or decimal is multiplied by one hundred we get the percentage. i.e (7/10)X 100 = 70%, (17/10) X 100 = 170%, (1/5) X 100 = 20% The decimal number can also be converted into percentage by multiplying it by one hundred and then removing the sign of the percentage. i.e 0.13 X 100 = 13%, 0.56 X 100 = 56%, 0.81X 100 = 81% When the cost of any item is doubled then two is multiplied by one hundred to get percentage and it is said the cost has been increased by two hundred percentages. When the cost of any item is reduced to half then half is multiplied by one hundred and it is said the cost has been decreased by fifty percent. i.e C.P = 46 S.P = 92 Profit in percentage = (92 46) X 100 /46 = 100%

Your Professional Field Guide to be a Rock-Star Introvert

Introvert Whisperer / Your Professional Field Guide to be a Rock-Star Introvert Your Professional Field Guide to be a Introvert Rockstar-Part Two Part Two If you missed part-one to this article you can catch up here. Which camp am I in? The first thing to notice is that more than likely, you had some X’s in both columns.   While the Meyers-Briggs folks believe you are either one or the other personality type, I’m in the camp that says you are “mostly” one or the other.   That means that you aren’t always consistently behaving as an introvert.   You may have moments when you are a bit more “E” and visa versa. There is also,  a vital but little-known aspect to our personalities and that is: versatility.   It turns out that as we travel through life situations, we learn that we must adapt to the situation in order for it to produce the best results.   We aren’t always aware we are adapting.   When you adapt enough to various situations, it becomes fairly automatic.   As an introvert, we learn where we can be more chatty or demonstrative without sucking up all of our battery life in certain situations like being with our family. As Darwin said: “Change is central to our existence.” Which means that both the “E” and “I” do adapt and the ones that adapt the best, the most frequent and soonest, will be the most successful in life and work.   You can probably think of those people whose personality is rigid and you know these are the people having the greatest difficulty and are usually seriously unhappy. Take heart if you are one of those rigid people! (Or even slow to learn to adapt)   Adapting is a learned skill.   For some people who are particularly self-aware, they pick up adaptation skills very naturally.   For the rest of us, we can learn to adapt.   What you may have thought was the domain of some very lucky people is now yours, should you choose to do so. I’m going to really dive deep into adaptations but first, it’s important to dispel some introvert myths. Myths and Misconceptions When it comes to our personality type, there are a lot of notions attached to it that aren’t entirely correct.   What I’m speaking of is when you hear about any of the following: Shy Anti-social Dislikes people Reclusive If you take Webster’s definition of Introvert, those things are certainly characteristics you could include. Webster’s definition and synonyms: Reserved and shy Turn in upon itself: marked by being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in ones own mental life Bashful, coy, demure, modest demure, diffident, retiring, sheepish When people speak broadly about Introverts that include shy and antisocial, they aren’t entirely correct.   There are other things going on with a person other than their personality.   Usually a shy person suffers from social anxiety and may be systemic to being Anti-Social.   So, yes, you could attach those elements to the word Introvert but not to the personality of Introvert.   This may be a bit of a fine distinction but I think it is a distinction worth noting. The reason for pointing this out is because your personality is a given just like your eye color.   Social anxiety is developed for a variety of reasons and is something that can be reduced with focus and professional help. You can’t change your personality but like social anxiety, if you have problems with your behavior that is driven by your personality, can make some adaptations or changes to improve your situation.   In other words, both issues of Social Anxiety and Introvert personality have solutions but are different. There is many other mental health diagnosis that have these characteristics.   I think that like many things, when you start seeing the more extreme examples of behavior, you aren’t talking about a personality as much as you’re talking about a disorder. My point in this is that some people mistakenly think if you are an Introvert that it’s a problem or something that needs to be fixed.   If it’s your personality you need to appreciate there is nothing wrong with you.   If you are suffering with social anxiety and it’s impacting your life you may want a professional to help you.   It’s interesting, if not slightly unfortunate that no other MBTI personality seems to have the baggage associated with it like Introverts do. Oh well. Another myth that really bothers me, especially as a Career Coach is the idea that Introverts can’t perform in some professional occupations.   Granted, there are some occupations that they may be more drawn to but at this point, I’ve seen highly successful Introverts in all occupations.   I’ve seen Introverts as managers, leaders, sales persons, actors, teachers, doctors, and police.   We have an array of Introverts who are captains of industry like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.   Obama, who is at the highest post politically in the US, is also an Introvert.   There is simply no merit to the myth that we can’t be successful in all jobs because it’s just not true. To summarize, there is no right or wrong when it comes to personality type and certainly there is nothing wrong with being an Introvert.   Unfortunately, the word introvert itself does seem to have “problems” associated with it and I guess that is our burden to bear. Why would you want to change or adapt? Change for the sake of change is pointless.   Change to improve your life (and your career is part of your life) is vital. Previously, I mentioned that you can learn to adapt and learn the skill of adapting in order to create the best possible outcome.   Where do you start? The best place to start is by looking at your own career goals against your current situation.   If your current situation is problematic then you have things to change, even if your issues aren’t all that big.   Small issues tend to get bigger as time goes by and it is very easy to try to ignore those smaller issues until you wake up one day and you’ve got a huge career mess on your hands. While you do apply classic problem solving to your issues, the trouble I sometimes see is people solving symptoms of problems, not problems.  It’s like taking cold medicine for pneumonia.   It might help with the symptoms but it will do nothing for eliminating the pneumonia from your body. When you solve the symptom, you fail to solve the problem.   You could also make your situation worse when your actions really aren’t focused on the correct fix.   I see this same problem with solving business issues.   Failure to get down to a root cause of a problem is fairly common.   The reason it happens more in our careers is because the emotional component of it doesn’t exactly cause a person to think all that clearly. Let me give you an example. I had a former client return to me a few years after helping her land what she thought was a dream job.   She wanted me to help her again with a job search and since I had helped her land the job she was leaving, I wanted to do a diagnostic of her situation.   I found out that she had a history of going into a job, doing an outstanding job but was seriously underappreciated for her accomplishments.   Her relationship with her bosses had consistent themes of poor communications, other people getting credit and her leaving feeling unrecognized and under-supported. Her assessment was that her industry was full of flaky management and that she needed to do a complete career switch.   This was a huge undertaking as her career skills was directly linked to her industry.   She was a specialist and moving into another industry and career would mean retooling.   She was addressing the symptom. My assessment was that like so many introverts, she was falling short in areas that others around her had mastered.   Namely she had the following real problems fairly common to introverts: She was not self-promoting and helping management to utilize her extensive skills. As a result, they failed to recognize her for both her skills and results. She wasn’t reading the political landscape, in fact avoiding it, which is always a perilous thing to do. You can’t avoid the dynamics that occur anytime you get a group of people together.   Politics happens both negative and positive.   If you don’t understand the politics, you will pull a big career-limiting move.   It’s not a question of IF it happens; it is simply a matter of when and how big will the political blunder be.   In her case, it was fairly big. She had great relationships with the people who worked for her but had no relationships with her peers, management or executives. In fact, she grew to feel contempt for those above and at her level.   She had no support structure and it was apparent almost no one was in her corner. Relationships are vital for almost every aspect of your career and the fact that her career was in trouble was due in a large part to this missing element. The problem I had with her proposed direction is that she would repeat her history no matter where she pursued a job, if she didn’t take steps to change how she managed herself in the job. To make it worse, she would potentially spend time and money that wouldn’t lead to a solution.  She would simply have the same bad results in a new career and new industry. I did agree that she should start fresh elsewhere but do it with a new strategy and a few changes to her own behavior. The great thing about starting a new job is that you can change your behavior and have completely different results.   BUT, you have to be changing the right behavior or adapting new behavior that will produce a better result. Come back on Monday as we continue our discussion and we take a look at Adapting Behaviors and how they relate to our moving ahead in our careers. I look forward to our visit!

My Experience at Georgetown University

My Experience at Georgetown University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Andrew is a Washington, D.C. tutor specializing in Business Economics tutoring, Essay Editing tutoring, SAT Verbal prep tutoring, and a number of other areas. He is a 2014 graduate of Georgetown University with a Bachelors degree in International Business and Operations Information Management. See what he had to share about Georgetown University: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Andrew: Georgetown University is located in the Georgetown neighborhood, in the northwest corner of Washington, D.C. Though located in the city, the area is not exactly urban. Rows of colorful townhouses line the streets, and popular stores and restaurants can be found along the main roads, M Street and Wisconsin Avenue. The campus itself is mostly self-contained, and it could be mistaken for a suburban campus at first sight. This is both good and bad, because enjoying a separate, pleasant campus comes at the price of more difficult access to the rest of the city. It is not all that hard to get out, but it does take a little bit of planning to find the right bus and avoid the higher cost of a taxi or an Uber. Very few students bring their own cars, but bikes are fairly common. I found my bike to be the most convenient form of transportation to any destination within a few miles. And to give you an idea of scale, The Lincoln Memorial and the White House are only about two miles away from Georgetown Universitys campus. As far as safety is concerned, Georgetown University is located in one of the safest areas of Washington, D.C., but there will always be some crime. Most people feel that if they take reasonable precautions, like avoiding walking alone at night and keeping doors locked at all times, they will stay safe. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Andrew:In general, I found professors to be very accessible and always eager to help. It is common at most schools for introductory-level classes to be taught in large lecture halls by professors who cannot possibly get to know all of their students, but at Georgetown University, this only happened to me twice. The vast majority of my classes had a relatively low student-to-professor ratio, and I was able to meet with my professors easily. Furthermore, many of my professors had considerable working experience in their academic fields, and they were willing to act not only as teachers, but as mentors. I developed meaningful relationships with several of my professors, and much of what I learned from them extended beyond academics. Mentorship, however, was not something I found in my academic advisers. They seemed to be difficult to access, probably because they were assigned too many students to devote adequate time to each. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Andrew:The quality of the dorms is largely average, but they are set up very well for campus social life. All of the freshman dorms are within a short walking distance of each other, so it is easy to meet up with friends from other dorms. There is only one dining hall where meal swipes can be used, but there is always a good variety of food, as well as vegetarian and vegan choices. Some students did not like the dining hall, of course, but I personally enjoyed having just one place where all of my classmates came to eat. It meant that every time I went, I would run into people I knew, and I always looked forward to it. And for those nights when I chose to go off-campus to eat, there were many popular restaurants within short walking distance in the Georgetown neighborhood. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Andrew:I chose to double major in International Business and Operations and Information Management (OPIM) in the McDonough School of Business. I applied to the business school because I was not sure what I wanted to do as a career, and I wanted to keep my options open. This turned out to be a good choice, because I did find that many diverse opportunities were available to me as a business student. The business school is generally well supported by the university. Lectures are held in a relatively new building with excellent classroom and study spaces. There is surprisingly little difference between majors in the business school, because every student is required to take a core set of courses. After completing this core, each major is only about five courses long, compared to the usual 12 for the College of Arts and Sciences. This means that all business students have a similar experience, and they find high-quality faculty across all of the business disciplines. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Andrew:There is no real Greek life at Georgetown University. There are several fraternities and sororities, but they are not recognized by the school, and they are not all that different from any other student club. Social life is organized instead around shared activities. Student clubs and teams, which often exist for an important, non-social purpose, tend to have a social component as well. For example, I was a member of Georgetown Emergency Response Medical Service (GERMS), which is a student-run ambulance service. Students in GERMS take its purpose and mission very seriously, but the organization also brings its members together socially around a common interest, acting almost like an informal fraternity. There is nothing to stop anyone from being in multiple groups like this, or making connections between friends in different groups, and this leads to a mostly open social scene. I think this is especially valuable for freshmen, since they are free to spend time with different groups of people for different reasons, without any of the arbitrary restrictions that come with rushing a fraternity or a sorority. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Andrew:Georgetown University students certainly benefit from the schools reputation among employers. Many of the most notable consulting and finance firms recruit on campus, and the Career Center arranges on-campus interviews for jobs and internships with these companies. The Career Center is actually a very useful resource for the large numbers of students interested in business fields, especially Consulting and Finance, but students interested in less mainstream career choices may need to find more help elsewhere. For example, the Career Center had little to offer me during my somewhat unique application processes to the United States Navys Officer Candidate School and several federal law enforcement agencies. I do not consider this a fault of the Career Center, however, but rather a reasonable choice to use limited resources to benefit the largest number of students. And the Career Center does put on career fairs each semester, as well as a government career fair, which bring in large and diverse groups of employers. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Andrew:It is always possible to find a quiet place to study, and Georgetown University is expanding these spaces all the time. A brand new student center was just completed, and the new science and business buildings are just a few years old. The study areas can get crowded during finals, but with a little bit of creativity and patience, there is always room. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Andrew:The Georgetown neighborhood is mostly residential, but there are many stores, restaurants, and bars concentrated along M Street and Wisconsin Avenue. This puts many options for shopping, eating, and socializing within 20 minutes of the university. And if you get tired of these choices, the Dupont area is only a short bus ride away, and Adams Morgan is just a little farther than that. Both of these are very popular areas for young people in Washington, D.C. But besides going out to shop or eat, there is still plenty to do in Washington, D.C. The National Mall, around which most of the monuments and museums are located, is just a few miles from Georgetown University, and the waterfront areas along the Potomac River are a short walk away. Some students feel that their workload prevents them from going out into the city as much as they would like to, but it is still important to remember that Washington, D.C. offers an amazing array of activities, and it is impossible to feel like you have tried everything. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Andrew:There are a little over 7,000 undergraduate students attending Georgetown University. I personally enjoyed this relatively small size. I felt that it was just big enough to allow me to always meet new people, but just small enough that I would always run into someone I knew. By the time I graduated, I did not know everyone, but I felt that I probably knew at least one person in common with everyone in my class. Accordingly, class sizes are usually small. Only a few general education courses are taught in large lecture halls, but most classes allow students very good access to professors. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Andrew:One summer, I took a socio-linguistics class. I took the course to satisfy a requirement, and I was not expecting much out of it. However, it became one of my most valuable academic experiences. I was already vaguely interested in the subject, but as a business student, I did not see how it really fit with my concentration. But with the help of an excellent professor, I soon discovered that socio-linguistics was extremely relevant in the business world and even in daily life. I put a lot of energy and attention into the class, and toward the end, I found out that my professor was in charge of a research team studying the use of language in advanced business education. I asked her if she needed any help with her research in the fall, and she brought me onto the team. I was the only undergraduate, and the only business student. I was able to learn an incredible amount from these colleagues, just by participating in practical research at the intersection of their academic field and mine. Between the summer class and the research experience, I felt that I had learned more about the principles and utility of socio-linguistics than I could have even by minoring in the subject. I was thrilled that my somewhat spontaneous adventure into linguistics had turned out to be such a fulfilling experience. I realize now, however, that experiences like this are somewhat common at Georgetown University. With a little bit of academic curiosity and some confident initiative, it is usually possible to turn academic study into a surprisingly engaging experience. Check out Andrew's tutoring profile.

Picking a Major Early in College

Picking a Major Early in College Time and time again, people may tell you not to stress over deciding on a major right away. They generally advise you to take your time contemplating, that you can change it at any time so there should be no pressure at all. While all of this may be true in a sense, the difficulty of adapting your curriculum to a major switch cannot be underestimated but it often is. People are quick to glamorize the freedom of being able to change your mind regarding your career path at any time in college, but the truth is, you can only change your mind so many times before it significantly lengthens your college career. With every major comes a different set of required classes, and depending on how closely related your new major and past major are, these classes may not always overlap. So if youre going into junior year and decide you want to be a marketing major when you have spent the last two years taking journalism classes, being able to fit your new batch of requirements in the four remaining semesters ahead of you may seem a bit daunting. All in all, it really does depend on the specific majors in question, because many students do change their minds late in the game and still manage to graduate on time or close to on time. The particular major could be less demanding in its requirements, you could get lucky in class requirements overlapping, or maybe youre just dedicated enough to cram an overload of hours into each semester you have left. So this idea is not impossible and you should never be discouraged to change your mind if you really feel passionate about a different career after all, that is whats most important in the end, doing something that you love. But you could make things a heck of a lot easier on yourself if you take just a few steps to really think things through during your first few semesters of school. First off, your freshman year will be filled with mostly Gen Eds anyway, so this is the safest time to flip from major to major. You wont be wasting any time because you need these Gen Eds regardless of what degree you walk away with later on. And while youre being forced to take all of this general education, really try to soak it up. Its good to be kept well-rounded because you experience more, and the more you learn about basic subjects, the more you will figure out what youre really interested in. The subjects you find yourself better at or caring about more may point you in the general direction of a more specific area of study that suits you well. This year should be spent truly exploring what the academic world has to offer you so you can discover what topics really matter to you. By the time sophomore year rolls around, you should hopefully have a good idea of what you want to study. If you do, start getting involved in all aspects of it! If youre still undecided, at least narrow down the main choices youre considering and try to take at least one class in each of them. This way, youre still allowing yourself to learn and explore rather than blindly settling down and youre decreasing any possibly wasted time. Also, if youre still struggling at this point, talk to other students in those majors, join extracurricular activities related to them, meet with your universitys Career Center. There are endless resources on college campuses ready to give you an honest perspective on making this big decision. Ideally, if you follow through on this process thoughtfully, you should be settled on a major by the end of your sophomore year and will have already made some progress toward completing its requirements. Again, if your career passions change overnight, you need to do what makes you happy. But by setting goals for yourself to figure out what you want early on, you will be able to devote a lot more time to it throughout your college career and be ten times more prepared to make it a professional reality once you graduate.

Introvert Whisperer / Top ten jobs that offer better returns - Introvert Whisperer Top ten jobs that offer better returns   Well, there are so many things that can drive you to choose a career in a particular field. Your love and compassion towards it play a key role. However, financial security is also paramount. Until or unless you are sure about good returns, you will always be wary of opting for that line of work. When you are doing a job, the “feel good” factor is essential, but you can’t overlook tangible perks and privileges. Presently, you can rely on the following jobs for better wages: 1. Financial analyst The input of a financial analyst is essential on personal as well as corporate level. Companies hire financial analysts to make various decisions based on their expertise like investing in a stock market or selling shares at a particular time. Similarly, individuals seek their advice to forecast their financial decisions. Multiple tasks fall within the scope of a financial analyst, which is why this is such a desirable and well-paid job. If you are good when it comes to dealing with numbers, you can turn out to be a handy financial analyst. You can earn as much as 37 dollars per hour. 2. Web developer A lot of shopping is done online today. Even physical stores make it a point to have an online appearance in the form of a website. Almost all the leading brands have their website, and in order to keep their sites in good shape and appealing, they have to hire web developers. This profession has observed 11 percent growth in the last three years. 3. Construction manager Bridges, flyovers, and new buildings are being made throughout the world. This is the reason why construction managers are so much in demand. If you are good at communication, managing people, and have the ability to provide quality construction in tight budgets, then you must consider this job. The best thing about this job is that even if you start as a construction worker, you can still be transformed into a construction manager over some time. As for the income, you can accumulate nearly 189000 dollars in a year. 4. Travel blogger Do you like traveling? How about making a career and great fortune out of it? Trust me, and this is no joke. Many people are already doing it with great success. You need to be good at written communication to set up your own blog where you can share your informative and entertaining experience about the places you visit. Also, your photography skills need to be up to the mark as well. Companies will sponsor your trips, and you can make a decent living out of it. You can also get paid through advertisements. 5. Driving It is a sad reality that even in this era of the “most educated” generation, people don’t complete their education for a variety of reasons. So in case you don’t hold a degree from a well-reputed institution, you can still be eligible for low-key but well-to-do jobs like driving. You can easily find truck driver jobs in Los Angeles and other cities. What makes driving a much sought-after job is the flexibility that comes with it. 6. Ethical hacker As we get more and more dependent on the internet, online security is becoming a huge issue. Already the world has witnessed some massive hacks, and this is one reason people are getting increasingly skeptic about their online world. However, all hackers are not evil. If you belong to computer science, then you can serve as an ethical hacker. Multinational companies will hire you to detect any online security lapses in their system, and you will get paid in return. Since online security is identified as a significant threat, the scope for this job currently knows no bound. Not many fields are going to witness as much growth as this one. 7. Marketing manager Marketing managers have to make strategies for businesses that ensure the best return on investment. Gathering and analyzing data and trends are primary components of their work. The salary of a marketing manager has much to do with a particular industry. 8. Air traffic controller Being an air traffic controller comes up with a lot of pressure because you are responsible for so many lives. These folks are tasked to issue weather alerts and control air traffic to make it safe for airline passengers. However, you could be paid up to 191000 dollars for making accurate decisions in split seconds. 9. Technical writers As new inventions are being made continuously, people need to be conveyed on how to use these new inventions effectively. For example, a new mobile application is developed, unless we know its features at length, we won’t take an interest in it. You can say that, more often than not, technical writers are the bread butter of efficient marketing. Also, if you like to work remotely, nothing can be as rewarding as this job with the possibility of 130000 dollars annual earning. 10. Interpreter The world has become a global village. Yet, sometimes, communication gap widens because we speak different languages. That’s why interpreters or translators are required all over the world for swift verbal and written communication. If you are inclined towards languages, then it could be your cup of tea. Apart from freelancing, you can offer your services at places like meeting rooms, hospitals, schools, courtrooms, and conference centers. Final thoughts If you somehow manage to sneak into one of these jobs, the odds are that you will be financially protected for the rest of your life. Reason being, the above jobs are not only doing well currently but seem robust in the foreseeable future as well. Source About the Author:

How to Learn the Cyrillic Letters by Heart

How to Learn the Cyrillic Letters by Heart The best way to learn the Russian alphabet ChaptersThe rules of the Russian alphabetTechniques for remembering the Russian alphabetWhat are the ideal conditions for learning the Russian alphabet?Tips and tricks for learning the Russian alphabet“When you fall out of the water, you no longer fear the rain.” ~ Russian proverbAs a general rule, the most dreaded languages that cause students to break out in hives, are languages like Chinese or Russian with their seemingly incomprehensible alphabets. After all, the alphabet is the basis for most language learning, and without understanding it will be difficult to perfect your Slavic writing.Faced with this challenge, many language students opt to study Spanish or French instead, both of which are much easier to understand than a Slavic language.However, despite the end of the cold war (or perhaps because of it), the Russian language still seems to hold a large fascination for Americans. According to a 2015 survey, the top reason for learning Russian is often to meet Russians or travel or to live in Russia!In order to effectively communicate with Russians, especially if you’re doing so via correspondence, it’s essential for any English speaker to begin by learning the Cyrillic alphabet. In contrast to the Chinese alphabet, the Russian alphabet isn’t too far off from our Latin alphabet, and can easily be learned in a few weeks or months.Here are our top tips for learning the Cyrillic alphabet!

Although this foreign alphabet can seem completely confusing to an English speaker, the two alphabets do share some commonalities - for example, the Russian language is also made up of vowels and consonants.Fiodor Dostoïevski, Léon Tolstoï, Alexandre Pouchkine, Nicolas Gogol … Russia has been home to many famous authors! By learning the language, you can also read their works in the original form!In the Cyrillic alphabet, there are 7 letters which come from the Latin Alphabet:A - pronounced ‘A’,E - pronounced ‘Yé’,3 - pronounced ‘Zé’,K - pronounced ‘K’,M - pronounced ‘M’,O - pronounced ‘O’,T - pronounced ’T’.However, there are also several letters which look a bit like letters from the Latin alphabet, but which aren’t (there’s one th at resembles an H) - be careful!These letters are Russian letters and aren’t pronounced at all the same as their Latin cousins. When you’re studying, you need to be cautious of false cognates and forget about your native language.It’s a good idea, when learning the Cyrillic alphabet, to start with these 7 letters, which as well as being common, will be easy for you to learn than the other Russian letters!By learning to read in Russian, you’ll be able to discover a host of Russian authors in their native language.The Greek lettersEvery year, many classics students choose to learn ancient Greek in college. Although the language is considered ‘dead’, its letters live on in certain alphabets that are still in use today, including the Cyrillic alphabet.If you’ve ever studied ancient Greek, it might be a bit easier for you to learn the Russian alphabet and vice versa!The Russian alphabet includes 9 Greek letters:? - pronounced ‘B’,? - pronounced ‘Gué’,? - pronounced ‘D’,? - pronounced ‘Ou’,? - pronounced ‘F’,? - pronounced ‘P’,? - pronounced ’S',? - pronounced ‘R’,? - pronounced ‘L’.Once again, make sure you don’t get confused between the English and Russian pronunciations of some letters (like with the ‘P’ for example). Russian students must resist the temptation to make comparisons between their native language and this Slavic language, which although they share some similarities, have drastically different pronunciations.One small anecdote - the USSR, the former name of the Russian Federation, was written ‘CCCP’ - not quite the same as what we used in English. What’s more, CCCP was pronounced ‘SSSR’ - a great example of why we shouldn’t let ourselves get led astray by things that seem the same…but aren’t!The Russian lettersWhen you’re learning the Russian alphabet, the hardest thing to do will be to learn the new Cyrillic letters, which for most English speakers will be completely unknown. H owever, this new-ness can actually be helpful and easier for students as these new letters and their pronunciations don’t include any of the temptations of false cognates.A native Russian speaker makes a great tutor - with expertise in teaching, they can guide you through their culture and all the challenges you’ll face in learning their native language. A great way to learn faster!This section of the Cyrillic alphabet is made up of just 15 letters - the letters and their sounds can easily be learned after just a few hours of daily study! It’s also a good idea to practice writing out the Russian letters to help learn them faster.Here are the Russian letters in the Cyrillic alphabet:? - pronounced ‘l’,? - pronounced ‘Yeu’,? - pronounced ‘Tseu’,? - pronounced ‘Tsheu’,? - pronounced ’N',? - pronounced ‘Sheu’,? - pronounced ‘Shsheu’,? - pronounced ‘Kha’,? - pronounced ‘?’,? - pronounced ‘J’,? - pronounced ‘V’,? - pronounced ‘Hè’,? - p ronounced ‘You’,? - pronounced ‘Ya’,? - pronounced ‘Yo’.With a good pronunciation of the Russian alphabet, the student can learn how to speak Russian fluently and prepare themselves for some time studying abroad in the largest country in the world!The Russian alphabet: soft and hard signsOnce you’ve learned all the letters and their pronunciations listed above, you just need to learn the last two letters in the Cyrillic alphabet: the soft and hard signs.Some students of Russian struggle to learn these signs because they are letters which aren’t vocalized, and so their study is sometimes reserved for students who are experts in Russian!However, it is difficult to understand and learn how to pronounce the Russian language without taking these two symbols into consideration.The two symbols are:The hard ?, which indicates that the previous consonant isn’t palletized.The soft ? which tells you that the previous consonant is palletized.Therefore, it isn’t really a ques tion of reading and understanding, but of pronunciation. In order to get a good grade on the ????- TORFL, for example, students must be able to show that they understand all the intricacies of Tolstoy’s language.In order to truly become bilingual English - Russian, you’ll need to have a firm grasp of all the symbols that modify pronunciation!Techniques for remembering the Russian alphabetCreating a Russian crib sheetIn order to work on your tonic accent, start learning a Slavic language and become bilingual in Russian, we’d recommend coming up with a few crib sheets to study between Russian classes with your professor!With a good general level of Russian, American students can choose to enroll at a well known Russian university, like the University of Moscow.In fact, learning the Russian alphabet ahead of your classes will ensure that you’re well prepared for your tutoring sessions and can help you space out your lessons, which will both help you learn and save you some mone y. The best thing to do is to break the letters down into several categories (like we’ve done below, or by consonants and vowels), in order to really master each letter.Before moving onto another study sheet, the student should make sure they’ve truly learned each letter and its pronunciation, as well as constantly reviewing the previous lessons.In order to master the Russian alphabet and its pronunciation, students can also use:Russian study booksRussian - English dictionaries (with a phonetic transcription)Online study guidesRussian podcastsRussian videos on YouTube, etc…In order to make studying as fun as possible, students can use different memorization techniques. For many students, mind-mapping techniques can be highly efficient in order to combine mental and physical elements for a holistic association for each letter and its pronunciation - by visualizing the Russian pronunciation, the student will find it easy to retain Russian vocabulary.In order to further deepen th eir Russian knowledge, students might also choose to sign up for private Russian lessons!Here, a bilingual or native Russian speaker will be totally at the disposition of the student to provide a structured framework in which they can learn the language.

In just a few weeks, it is totally possible to learn all of these letters and symbols which seem a bit terrifying.The Russian alphabet is defined in this way:A bicameral alphabet made up of 30 letters, created towards the end of the 9th century in Bulgaria by Cyrillic monks, based on Greek writing and the Glagolitic alphabet.The Cyrillic alphabet is also used to read and write in other languages besides Russian, including:BulgariaBelorussiaUkraineSerbiaMacedoniaIn order to learn the language and its alphabet as easily as possible, some prerequ isites can be a great help.Have a perfect mastery of EnglishIf you aren’t very skilled at correcting your syntax, spelling, conjugation, and grammar in English, you need to improve your skills in English!In fact, learning English and all the intricacies of your own language will make it easier for you to learn Russian.Not only will a firm grasp of English grammar help you work through your Russian lessons, but it will also help you learn the Russian alphabet faster.Knowing English will make it easier to learn the Russian alphabet.Like we’ve explained before, the Russian alphabet shares many similarities with the Latin alphabet used in Romance and Germanic languages.So you need to have a firm understanding of the rules around vowels and their use.Russian pronunciation is also quite similar to French pronunciation, which can be quite helpful for any students who previously studied French in high school.Each letter in the Russian alphabet has its own unique sound, in contrast to Ea st Asian languages like Chinese or Japanese.What’s more, Russian pronunciation is sometimes much easier than in English, because, in Russian, all of the letters are pronounced.In English, because the language was heavily influenced by waves of Norse, Germanic, and French invasions, the same letter can often be pronounced and used in a multitude of ways, depending on the origins of the word.In Russian, in contrast, there are no silent letters, just like in Spanish or Italian. They also don’t have multiple pronunciations, so it’s impossible to make a mistake as you sound out a word.All facts which should be reassuring to students of Russian!Knowing other languagesKnowing how to speak other languages before learning Russian and its alphabet can also be almost as helpful as having a firm grasp of English.If you already know the basics of another Slavic language like Polish, Czech, or Slovak, learning Russian and assembling Cyrillic letters into words will seem much easier for you. The letters used in Slavic languages are very similar.What’s more, if you’ve mastered one of the Slavic languages, that means that your brain has already proved itself capable of learning a language with letters that look very different from the ones we use in English and can still recognize those letters as a word.Learning the alphabet for a Slavic language is still easier for an English speaker than learning an Asian language.Learning a Slavic language can, therefore, help you progress much faster when you’re learning Russian.Tips and tricks for learning the Russian alphabetRussian is studied by many language learners around the world. Just like Chinese or German, Russian language skills are in high demand in the employment market today.There are 14 million people learning Russian worldwide.Therefore, there are several different tricks that have been developed to help students of Russian learn the Cyrillic alphabet as easily as possible.The akamoto techniqueKesako ?The Akamo to technique consists of learning 30% of the most useful letters of the alphabet in 10 seconds.Earlier, you will have understood that the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet can be broken down into categories so that they’re easier to learn.Now, we’ll go over how to learn the most useful letters in just a few seconds, in order to improve and begin speaking in Russian as quickly as possible.These five letters (A,K,M,O,T) make up 30% of all Russian texts. That means that by learning and recognizing these five letters, you can begin to read and understand texts in Russian. Isn’t that good news?And in order to remember these letters, you can put them together in a few different combinations: Akamoto, kamoto, aktom, tomak,…Once you’ve learned them, there are already a few different words that you can use:???: cat,???: so,????: atom,???: there,??: ok.Practice your writing regularlyLearning the Russian alphabet also means learning to write the letters and combine them to create word s. Just learning to recognize the letters on a computer screen isn’t going to help you anywhere near as much as writing and re-writing them.Basically, your brain has a strong muscle memory function. It’s also known as procedural memory.Here’s how it’s defined by Wikipedia:Procedural memory is a type of implicit memory (unconscious memory) and long-term memory which aids the performance of particular types of tasks without conscious awareness of these previous experiences.This is the type of memory where our brain stores information about riding a bike, making pasta, or starting a car. It’s also in this part of your brain where you learn how to write letters with your hand without thinking about how to do so.Put your procedural memory to work!However, it does take a good amount of time and plenty of repetition before Russian letters will be fixed in your brain.It’s for this reason that it’s important to practice regularly so that your brain can begin to internalize your movements. Write each letter several times each day.It’s also important to work on both uppercase and lowercase letters. Russian is a bicameral language (meaning the writing has two variations - capitals and lowercase).Take advantage of applicationsIn order to learn the Russian alphabet, is there a better solution than to have fun while you learn?Some applications offer Russian classes with lessons that include:learning the alphabetpronouncing the lettersgrammarRussian expressionstransliterationetcWhether you’re at an intermediate, advanced or beginner level, these apps will let you study wherever and whenever you want, so you don’t need to lose a minute!The apps will also help you learn Russian easily thanks to interactive lessons and efficient English/Russian dictionaries.It’s a great way for you to practice and brush up on your language skills before you speak to native Moscovites.Take your time and study regularlyThe best advice for learning anything is to take your tim e. This doesn’t necessarily mean to advance at a snail’s pace, but more to just study regularly.It’s pointless to study hard for three days and then to do nothing in the days following. Your brain will quickly forget the alphabet and everything else you’ve learned if you don’t continue your Russian classes.What’s more, you’ll lose motivation when faced with the amount of work catching up in your studies will take.Vowels, accents, lowercase, uppercase…learning the Russian alphabet means mastering several different ideas.Learn everything in what seems like just a few hours.In contrast, by working for just a few minutes every day, you won’t really feel like you’re making too much effort.Learning Russian only takes a few minutes every day.Russian vocabulary, the Latin alphabet, Soviet culture, the Cyrillic alphabet, pronunciation, writing…mastering all of these require working on the language just as if you were with your Russian professor.Be the teacher and the st udentThe Cyrillic alphabet, spelling, Russian grammar, Russian culture, transcription, Russian literature - Russian classes often cover many important topics.So in order to improve, why not find a friend and study together?Studying with a friend in order to learn Russian will let you be the student and the teacher at the same time. When your friend doesn’t understand something, you can help explain it to them.And by explaining these concepts aloud, it’ll help you understand whether you have truly mastered a concept or not. If you can’t manage to explain something clearly, that’s a good indication that you haven’t totally understood or mastered that lesson either.Working together also makes it easier to stay motivated!Have fun!Whether you’re learning Russian online, or in person in classes in New York, San Francisco, or Seattle, it is important that you’re doing so by choice and that you have fun learning the language!Tackling your Russian dictionary, Russian translatio ns, prepositions, and wading through lessons can often be less difficult than they seem at first.Motivation and desire are two things which are key to get you through.It’s important to take pleasure in mastering the basics - like the Russian alphabet - in order to retain information better.It’s also a great idea to take an interest in Russian culture by watching some of their national cinema or taking an interest in Russian cuisine.Head to RussiaSt Petersburg, Moscow, Vladivostok, Sotchi,… what’s a better way to learn the Russian alphabet and master the language than to take a trip to Russia?Going to Russia can help you learn the language and alphabet quickly.Of course, it isn’t an option for everyone, but taking a trip to Russia is a great way to get motivated about learning the language.It’s an opportunity to meet native Russian speakers and to speak to people who’ve learned Russian as their first language,It’s also a great opportunity to motivate yourself and expl ore different aspects of Russian culture like songs, films, cooking, history, etc.A trip to Russia is also an opportunity to learn to decode all the letters on the street signs into Russian words. Up to you to set yourself a new challenge!

I Heard It Through The Grapevine Explaining The Saying With Help From Marvin Gaye

I Heard It Through The Grapevine Explaining The Saying With Help From Marvin Gaye Many students of mine have asked me about the saying:I heard it through the grapevine.“What does this mean,” they ask me, bemused. “It makes no sense.”Well, actually it does make sense to English speakers. To hear something through the grapevine means to hear some news or gossip verbally, or in an informal fashion.We say “I heard it through the grapevine” generally when we want to protect our sources and don’t want to reveal where  our information came from.The grapevine was informal slang for the telegraph, a word-of-mouth communication network that was used in the US in the late 19th century.The telegraph was soon christened the ‘grapevine telegraph’ because it physically looked like the twisting grapevines found in a vineyard due to poor workmanship in hoisting the telegraph poles and cables.Saying information came from the ‘grapevine’ also suggests it is gossip among the lower classes who were generally found working in vineyards.There was also the suggestio n that information coming ‘through the grapevine’ wasn’t the most reliable since during the US Civil War messages carried by word of mouth were often intercepted and changed.Lets listen to the song that made the saying famous sung by Marvin Gaye.What news do you think he heard through the grapevine?What were the consequences of what he heard?
