Závery z diskusie

Zhoda

  • Weby www.englishpage.com a http://www.sitesforteachers.com/index.html sú v diskusii uvádzané ako užitočné zdroje na gramatiku a cvičenia.
  • Počúvanie anglických pesničiek a rýmovačiek (English lullabies, Ten Green Bottles) a sledovanie detských programov v angličtine (Thomas the Tank Engine) sú praktické metódy na zvyknutie dieťaťa na jazyk.


Sporné názory

  • Niektorí diskutéri tvrdia, že prepínanie jazykov môže dieťa zmiasť; iní tvrdia, že systém "one parent–one language" alebo používanie jazyka v konkrétnych situáciách dieťaťu pomáha naučiť sa, kedy ktorý jazyk používať.


Otvorené otázky

  • Koľko hodinovej expozície angličtine denne potrebujú malé deti, aby dosiahli funkčnú úroveň plynulosti?
  • Aká je optimálna kombinácia samoučenia (CD/MP3, piesne, filmy) a formálnych kurzov alebo konverzačných hodín pre dospelých študentov, aby videli rýchle zlepšenie?

Hi Etuska, I am also filling in an application form, but for my husband, I hate doing it, but this job would be fantastic for him, so the appl.form must be perfect! I am working very hard on it. He is busy with his present job, so I am his secretary now.
And what is your husband doing,If you don't mind me asking, that he has to do night shifts?

And Weroni, it was really very nice accident with the Star. How is your little star doing, by the way?

kivec, thanks, she is really fine 🙂 I thank God for her at least hundreds times a day 😵 😵 😵 It´s true - a child is God´s blessing - the best and the greatest in the world. 🙂

etuska I still admire your decision just to stand up and go abroad. How many times in your life have u done this? 🙂

hi girls
Welcome Tanja 🙂 Everyone writes to evyrone so feel free and ask anything you want to know.
Kivec-my husband is working in a company which produces glass and makes windows,so far so good,althogh I think he has already experienced "sleep deficit"-I´m not pretty sure about that expression also in English 😝 In fact he is a graduate engineer,but has no experience,therefore he has to start from "the bottom",you know.

Weroni-thanks 😅 I´m not as brave as you might think 😔 How many times have I done this?Well,the big step in my life was when I decided to go to England(I was 19 at that time),then my decision to study at a university was next one,then I got married and had a lovely baby and had to finish university and now-this is pretty big change for the whole family.

I do believe God leads us and He will hopefully bless our next steps 🙂

Kivec-what does your husband do?
Weroni-I´m quite happy about you that you realize how precious gift you have been given from Heaven 🙂 not all mums are so thankful 🙂

Tanja-where do you live?Write us something about you. 🙂

Tanja,do you want me to correct your sentences?: "My partner workes in Tesco as a picker.It is a very hard work,but he earns(zaraba) good money.At the moment,I´m a housewife and I have one baby,one-year-old.I should work part-time.Thanks a lot"

I think,you should buy some children´s book with a CD,for example"nursery rhymes" and listen to them and learn them,or watch fairy-tales in English (rozpravky),because English there is very simple.

Well done!!!

Hi girls, I've been busy all day yesterday and today, that's why I am joining you so late. Etuska, you asked me, what does my husband do. He is a head gardener at the clinic, where I worked, before I started my maternity leave. And he is about to start a video production business as well. He would like to do all sorts of videos (weddings, corporate videos, various events, etc.) But he needs a better payed job at the moment, that we can save some money for a better equipment.
And Tanja, it's really good, that you joined this forum, I am sure, that Etuska can help you with your English. It can only get better now. 😉

Hello girls. I can't sleep. All the time I see a special film that happened 7 years ago when my Danielik was born. He came too early- in 31 week of my pregnancy and he was so fragile. His weight was 1880 g.
Iám so happy that he is healthy, that he is with us.

etuska Iam praying. I was reading the discussion of very unhappy young women. They lost babies and their pain is so big. They say: God ? No, God is not real. He couldn't look at our pains and sadness.
I am praying. God is real for me and always will be.

🙂 That´s nice what you´ve written.I feel it the same way and I do pray He will lead us in this world as we are starting a completely new life abroad.I pray that our daughter would be healthy and happy and finally we could see her in few weeks.

I think,Iĺl go to bed,because it is already too late and I have to work hard to find a new job for me.

Wishing you beautiful week 🙂

Good night. And have a nice time.

Etuska, I wish you good luck with your job hunting. Few days ago,you wrote, that you were waiting for a phone call from nursing home. They were supposed to let you know, whether they give you a job. Is there anything new? Have they phoned?

And Duskaf, I am also happy for you and your son. I wish you all the best.

Kivec-no.they didin´t reply.It´s a shame ,but they didn´t.I´m planning to start English courses for Mums and toddlers(non native speakers-Slovak,Czech,Polish...)And of course I´m filling in lots of application forms.Hopefully,Iĺl get a job soon.Have a nice day 🙂

kivec
30. júl 2008

Etuska, that's great idea about starting those English courses. Would they pay you for it, or is it volunteer job?
Anyway, I think, that many women will be interested. It's very common, that "non native" mums don't speak very good English, as they don't socialize with native people very much.

Etuska, and I would like to ask you a favor. If you see any bad mistakes in my English, could you please correct me? If it's not a big trouble for you. Thank you. 😉

Hello girls. We have just come from our garden. Our dad went to job, so we are at home. Boys have a fairy tale. It is quietly around me, so they are interested in watching. But soon Iam planning some activities for them.
Etuska, that's really the great idea about English courses. I will keep my fingers cross.
Kivec- thank you for your nice words too.
I would like writing more but I can´t explain my feelings in Enlish.
We brought plenty of nice apples from the garden so I must do something with them. Take care my friends.

etuska
30. júl 2008

Kivec-your English is really good,but if I notice a horrible mistake Iĺl let you know,I promise 🙂
Well,I´d like to do both-voluntary as well as paid courses,as we are really short of money.I´m going to "Citizens Advice Bureau" next week and offer these courses,but I´d like to do similar ones at home,so that I can earn some money.

At the moment,I´m filling in an application form to the local college to offer them English courses for non native speakers.

Have a nice afternoon ladies 🙂

Have you ever seen The BABY BOOM. It was similar today. Apples and apples and apples. But my mum came and helped me so much.
Everything smell like apples.

30. júl 2008

Duskaf and what did you do with all the apples? We have one apple tree in the garden, and there are lot of apples on it,( not ready yet) so I need some inspiration, what to do with them. In Slovakia we didn't have garden, so It's new for me. 🙂 But It's really lovely to have a garden.
