Happy Holidays from all of us at italki!

Happy Holidays from all of us at italki! When italki was created way back in 2007  ,  our vision was to create a world in which everyone can be fluent in another language by  connecting with people. When you create a community that spans the world, you’ll end up hearing lots of stories. What starts with strangers learning from each other, can ultimately lead to many unexpected experiences. One of our favorite stories is when one our italki Community Moderators, Jura, actually published a book because of her interactions with our community.  Well, our Christmas gift came early when we received her book. Actually many our users have written into us to tell us their stories of how italki has helped them learn a new language.  We decided that we should have a place to tell the rest of the world what is happening on italki so we created a special website just for this purpose.  We hope these stories will inspire and motivate you to learn a foreign language, and connect yourself with the world!

The Most Influential People Who Never Lived

The Most Influential People Who Never Lived Photo by ALA Staff via Flickr. The idea of experience-taking, and the fact that voters were able to identify so quickly with a first person narrative, begs us to question the effects long-time and well known, popular characters have on us. For instance, if you think back to one of your favorite characters, be it from a novel or movie, you will probably recall certain events the character went through that made you empathize with them. This empathy plays a large role in how we bond and identify with characters and causes their experiences to feel real because weve been through a similar experience ourselves. “We’d have no way of processing a character cognitively if we didn’t have experiences with people outside of the fictional world,” explained  Howard Sklar, post doctoral researcher in the English Philology Unit at the University of Helsinki in an article on character bonding. “The experiences with fictional characters resonate with us because of the fact that we’ve had deep experiences with people throughout our lives,” he said. We begin to sympathize with characters and invest ourselves in their well-being, just as we would family members or friends, which gives us the distinct impression, even if only for a moment, that theyre real people. In fact, as the article suggests, we may even know these characters more deeply than even our loved ones, as we tend to fill in the gaps of their past and then get a glimpse into their most private thoughts and compulsions, causing us to fully know their personality. “If you can get people to relate to characters in this way, you might really open up their horizons, getting them to relate to social groups that maybe they wouldnt have otherwise,” Lisa Libby,  assistant professor of psychology at The Ohio State University,  told the Edmonton Journal. Libby makes a great point in how its possible, through using more storytelling and experience-taking techniques, that we can begin to pave a way for not only students, but for a vast majority of individuals to begin seeing groups outside of their circles and cliques in a different light. Also, knowing their effect, we can begin to see how fictional characters possibly did have a role in creating some of our modern technological advances and social culture, and how their ideas could spur certain trains of thought in innovative individuals. After all, ideas occur in the realm of fiction before theyre conceived; maybe it takes the push of a beloved characters personality to follow them through.

Every day sees initiates to the genre grow ever more hungry for the next story, the next instalment... and even the next merchandising gimmick.Have you been looking for your chance to immerse yourself into the fantastic world of manga and anime â€" what is also known as Japanese animation?If so, you’re in lu ck!Your Superprof now details the top manga characters as chosen by manga readers, according to the most popular manga of all time.Take the best Japanese lessons here.The story starts in Son Goku’s boyhood and follows him as he grows into manhood, learning martial arts and saving the world a time or two.Monkey D. Luffy: Future King of PiratesThe manga One Piece holds the record for most copies sold. That suggests that its reading community is substantial â€" that is probably the reason why there are more than 90 volumes: nobody wants the story to end!As a boy, this protagonist ate a Devil Fruit, resulting in his body becoming elastic.This serves him well on his quest to find the treasure that will make him the King of the Pirates... but it prevents him from being able to swim!What kind of pirate can’t swim???The sheer longevity of this saga demands that it be broken down into several story arcs.You might consider broaching this series when you have about two weeks off work; its capacity to draw readers in fairly guarantees that you will be utterly consumed once you start.You won’t want to stop until you’ve read all 939 chapters or watched every one of the 883 anime episodes!Other manga stories have enjoyed a long life; discover the most popular mangas of all time!Compared to the enigmatic L, Death Note's antagonist's moves are mundane Source: KanaThe Enigma that is LJapanese comics are not all kawaii (cute) and romantic.For all that the Japanese adore kawaii, this art form known as manga spans many genres: horror, fantasy... and some manga even includes pornographic elements!Death Note has gained a near-cult status for its dark themes and intrigue but the focus of our thesis is not the antihero Si Light Yagami, who attempts to create Utopia by eliminating everyone he believes is morally deficient.Our focus is on the mysterious detective who shadows him.L, as he is known, has a shady past that he cleverly wraps in ploys and schemes designed to trip up h is adversary. Their cat and mouse game, the backbone of the series, will keep you on the edge of your seat!For a relatively short series â€" only 12 volumes, we have to say that Shueisha, the publisher of Shonen manga, hit the nail on the head.

Granted, that was 20 years ago...But that’s not the twist we’re referring to in the segment title.Contrary to superhero stories that seem to trivialise female protagonists (Capt. America v. Ms America; Sup erman v. Supergirl...) Sailor Moon leads the pack in her search for a magical artefact.For a perfect blending of kawaii and courage, guts in battle and good at friendship, please disregard the fact that this story was meant to appeal to a certain segment of the population that you may or may not belong to.The 18 volumes that this story comprises will convince you that there is no such thing as a target audience when it comes to this manga!This would be a great manga to help you learn Japanese!Besides, younger readers might miss out on the gut-busting humour woven throughout the story: that is actually what makes this tragi-comedy a knockout hit!Curious?

Just like the wooden boy we're familiar with, Astro soon discovers he possesses certain powers that enable him to make the world a better place.Have you already met the little robot who fights to keep the peace between man and machine?No manga has driven people to the library like Saint Seiya has! Source: Toei AnimationSaint Seiya: a Knight of the ZodiacYes, it takes fully 28 volumes of original work to lead us to the discovery of the horsemen who serve Athena and their combat against the king of Hell himself.Seiya prepared well for his adventure, spending years in Gr eece, training.Finally permitted to join the legions of knights serving Saori, the reincarnation of Athena; goddess of wisdom and war, various battles test his and other knights’ powers and magic capabilities to their limit. Those weapons include:The Pegasus Meteoralso the Pegasus Sonic Meteor, the Pegasus Comet and the Pegasus TempestThe arrow of SagittariusThe Cosmic ArrowAtomic LightningIn the same vein as Son Goku of Dragon Ball, Seiya is a cult personality that appeals to children (or the child in all of us!) because of his wistful longing for the family he never knew as well as his fervent desire to do good.Notably, this manga series has had the curious effect of driving fans of all ages to brush up on their Greek mythology so that they can better grasp the storyline.That makes Seiya a superhero in our book!Yugi Muto: The King of GamesIf this name tickles your memory but you can’t quite dredge up any associations to it, maybe this quote could help:Get your game on! - Jaden YukiDid you guess Yu gi oh!?Yugi Muto is a student who would sacrifice his school experience for a game â€" and we thought it was only human children who only wanted to play games all day...One day, Yugi’s grandfather gives him an ancient puzzle. While solving it, the spirit of a long-dead pharaoh possesses him. Soon, Yugi is able to defeat all of his foes.With his punk hairstyle and personality switches the call forth questions of schizophrenia, Yugi is a character that will stay with you â€" whether you read the manga, watch the anime or get into the spirited card game with your mates.Clearly, this list is non-exhaustive â€" but then, how could anyone create a list of the best manga characters that isn’t reams of paper long?We hope to have clued you into some manga or anime that you’ve not yet explored... if not, you can learn more about this engaging art form.To that end, you may also want to check out some of these characters:Character NameMangaLight YagamiDeath NoteSasuk e UchiwaNarutoIchigo KurosakiBleachNatsu DragneelFairy TailVegetaDragon BallItachi UchiwaNarutoErza ScarlettFairy TailAllen WalkerD.

How Much to Charge for Private Tutorials

How Much to Charge for Private Tutorials How To Change Your Rates According to Place ChaptersAnalyse Where You Live in Order to Set the Right RatesOffer Certain Rates to Check the MarketCompare the Rates of Tutors in Different PlacesTalk to Local Students to Decide On Your RatesWork Out Rates According to the Subjects You Teach“I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.” - Albert EinsteinPrivate tutorials are an interesting option for both young and not-so-young learners. Whether you’re in school, university, working, or interested in changing jobs, looking to re-learn English, study chemistry or physics, or learn to play a music instrument, anyone can get private tutorials.However, before you start getting homework help or academic support, you need to have a look at exactly how much private tuition is going to cost you.The average cost of private tuition can vary a lot depending on a number of different factors. Of course, some will cost more than others according to competition and where the tutorials are takin g place. A tutor needs to set their rates so that they’re not seen as too expensive or too cheap.So how do you know if you’re charging too much for your lessons or whether you’re getting ripped off with the rates you’re charging?In this article, we’re going to look at how to set the right price for your private tutorials.And other criteria that the students deem important.Make sure you do your research and consider the rates in different neighbourhoods, too! (Source: StartupStockPhotos)There are so many pertinent questions you could ask about private tutors. Additionally, each student has their own criteria when choosing a private tutor. However, you also need to be aware of current trends and keep an eye out for which subjects are currently very popular and which subjects students are struggling with at school.Pedagogy is important too! A private tutor who is willing to hold classes out of doors might rank highly with students...Work Out Rates According to the Subjects Yo u TeachWhen it comes to private tutoring, no two tutorials are alike. You can get one on one tutoring in almost anything nowadays and, like with all other goods and services, supply and demand will affect the cost. The rarer a subject, the harder it is to find a tutor and the more a tutor can charge, given there's demand for the subject. For example, academic tutoring is available for the following subjects:accountingbiologyeconomicsforeign languages such as French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc. (covering grammar, spelling conversation, etc.)mathematics (including trigonometry, geometry, calculus, algebra, statistics, etc.)psychologystudy skillstest prep, essay writing, help with an assignment, etc.Etc.If there are plenty of one to one tutors in a given subject, they'll either have to have better qualifications or experience than the competition or offer better rates. This means that a lot of tutors offer free tutoring for the first hour so that they can show potential students wha t they're capable of and show them that their instruction is worth the price.Have a look on Superprof for the subjects you teach and check out the competition.Don't forget that home tutoring isn't the only option. For example, an English tutor could offer their academic coaching to students all over the world thanks to the internet. While the students being tutored aren't in the same room, with a computer, webcam, microphone, and a decent internet connection, anyone in the world can access the best tutors.So what does this mean for your rates?Well, if you don't have to travel, you don't have to pay to travel. An online tutor can charge less than a tutor who has to travel to their student's house.As you’ve probably understood, being a private tutor is a great job and it’s very rewarding for both the tutor and the student. However, it can be difficult to decide on your rates. If you take the time to do your research and see where you fit in the market, you should be able to find t he perfect price whether you're a chemistry tutor, reading tutor, French tutor, or an online tutor!Now discover other locations you might hold private lessons in...
