The ScanMarker Pen Scanner ...

Image
Reading a textbook is an arduous, boring business. There’s a ton of superfluous information that no one wants to read, but must trudge through to get the few precious sentences you’re actually going to use. Of course, you could skim over everything and highlight what you find to be the most pertinent pieces of data, but you would still have to go back through the book to find what you ... If you’d prefer to move to a digital format and only want to see what you’ve highlighted, then the ScanMarker might be just the study tool you need. This is just what the name suggests, as it feels similar to a pen in your hand, but as you move over sentences on the page it will scan them and type them onto your computer. It can retype text 30 times faster than manual typing, and your computer will read out loud what you’ve scanned so you don’t even have to look up. For those that have to read information in another language, this scanner is also capable of translating up to 30 different languag...

ECTACO Info: 10 Words Everybody Needs to Know before Going to Russia. Part 4

Image
An announcement in hospital: Больных в семь утра закапывать всех. Direct translation: At 7 o’clock all patients must be filled up. The speaker wanted to say: At 7 o’clock all patients must receive their eye drops . It’s well known that the Russian language is rich in slang , pejoratives and vulgar words. Even the most common words can have a completely different meaning when used figuratively, which we wouldn’t encourage to you use. .. In addition, two more Russian words are worth mentioning: виснуть/зависнуть , which means to hang in the air without any support. We can use this word e.g. when describing UFO’s. As we say that UFO hangs in the air.  And the second word is тормозить . This word is related to transportation. E.g. to jam on the brakes. In their figurative meanings, these words are synonyms. If you hear «Не тормози!» или «Не висни!», it means you seem to be a person who is too slow or not concentrated or not attentive enough. There is a trick to distin...

ECTACO Info: 10 Words Everybody Needs to Know before Going to Russia. Part 1

Hello dear visitors of our blog!! ! I want to bring to your attention a very interesting article . The author - Natalia , blog - www.lexiophiles.com . We thank the author for this work . "It’s well known that the Russian language is especially rich in slang , pejoratives and vulgar words. Even the most common words can have a completely different meaning when used figuratively, which we wouldn’t encourage to you use. For example the Russian word «давать» is polysemantic. «Давай» can be an equivalent to the English words « to give » and « to provide » (Please give me a pen) – this is the literal meaning of the word. This practical use of the word is the most common. «Давай» is also a motivating word e.g. used when we want to cheer on a sportsman. (Давай, Петя, давай! – Go, Peter, go!) «Давай» is also used in imperative constructions. (Давай пойдем сегодня в кино? – Let’s go to the cinema tonight?) In the future tense this word can have the connotation of a ...

ECTACO Info| Foreign languages benefit students professionally, personally

www.luxectaco.com - Electronic translators. http://www.cm-life.com Posted by Kate Woodruff It is becoming increasingly important for students to become familiar with different cultures in a global economy. At Central Michigan University, this exposure starts with foreign language courses. Despite the reluctance of many students to take these courses, the ability to speak a language other than English could be the factor that helps them get their dream job. No matter the language, there are endless opportunities that can come from learning one, Spanish professor Mary Jackson said. “Learning a foreign language is of great value to students because it helps them understand their own language, exposes them to other cultures and broadens their horizons,” Jackson said. In regards to society, Jackson said bilingual students will likely have a better understanding of the world outside of the United States. “For too long, our society has expected other nations to know English in...

ECTACO Info | More Swiss eager to learn Russian

ECTACO INFO (ECTACO - Electronic translators ) www.ectaco.info Second native, third foreign, fourth most popular – the Russian language has gained a striking foothold in multi-language Switzerland. Opinion polls show that many Swiss are eager to learn the language of Pushkin and Tolstoy for professional or personal reasons. Russian is a mother tongue for 26,000 Swiss citizens and a second native language for immigrants from former Soviet republics and children born into mixed families.   The number of Russian language learners in Swiss schools and universities is on the rise. Russian ranks among the top four most popular foreign languages in Switzerland along with Spanish , Arabic and Chinese. It is a compulsory foreign language for more than 2,000 Swiss school students.

Interesting - The Language Barrier

Hilary Larson ,    Travel Writer   http://www.thejewishweek.com   My friend Kathy recently returned from a trip to France. It was her second trip to the country, after perhaps a 20-year interval; for her husband, who was there to collect a journalism prize, it was the first time in France. They spent a few days in Paris, and then traveled up the Norman coast.“He just loved it. He’s telling everyone it was the best trip we’ve ever taken,” she reported afterward. “And what about you?” I asked. A pause. As it turns out, since her husband doesn’t speak the language, the entire burden of communication was on Kathy’s (still-impressive) high school French, which was exhausting in a country where — how to put this delicately? — speaking English doesn’t always open doors with a smile. I could just picture this: Everywhere they went, he sat back, waited for her to figure out the menu or the train schedule, and then enjoyed the crêpes or the glass of Bor...

ECTACO Info | ¿Como te llamas? - Knowing a second language improves cognitive abilities, memory

by http://www.tctimes.com , By William Axford English may still reign supreme as the language of choice in America, but other languages like Spanish, French and Mandarin continue to grow in popularity, especially inside of homes. The Pew Research Center reports that a record 37.6 million people 5 years and older speak Spanish, with 2.8 million speaking Mandarin and another 2.1 million speaking French.  In a world dominated by globalization and the Internet, knowing a second language is becoming a factor for success rather than a novelty.  “Learning a language can be accomplished at any age,” said Amy Pardee, a Spanish teacher at Lake Fenton High School. “We live in a global community where communication can be accomplished instantly between countries. Therefore, it is especially vital to know other languages for the sake of communication. If you are bilingual, it opens many opportunities in various occupations.”  But other than increasing success career-wise and widening opportu...
