TheLinguist.com Partners With The Rotary Club to Provide Free Online English Learning for Immigrants
West Vancouver, BC (ContentDesk) June 14, 2006 -- In an effort to address the shortfall of English language instruction services for recent immigrants to Canada, The Linguist (www.thelinguist.com ), a B.C. based system for online English learning has teamed up with the Surrey-North Delta Rotary Club to provide free English for immigrants.As reported by the Globe and Mail on June 2, immigrants to Canada often have to wait months to start English classes. What is more, government supported English classes are mostly limited to the most basic levels of English. Poor language and cultural skills cost the immigrants and the society at large a great deal of money.Surrey and North Delta have seen immigrants from a variety of sources settle in their communities in recent years, including the immigrants from Sudan, featured in a recent Globe and Mail article. The Surrey North Delta Rotary Club members want to help these newcomers to their community.
That is why they have teamed with The Linguist to offer a unique service.Steve Kaufmann, who speaks ten languages, is the founder of The Linguist. He knows that real language progress does not take place in a classroom. Instead it is mostly through intensive and systematic exposure to the interesting and relevant language content that people learn. The local Rotary members can offer the content, and The Linguist can offer the technology that enables people to improve their English from this content.A special joint website has been created where immigrants will find a range of content to learn from. This includes some easy content for beginners as well as in depth interviews conducted with Rotary members describing their professional careers and their activities in Rotary.
This content will give immigrants a perspective on the lives of their new fellow citizens and help them improve their English.This content comes alive as an English learning resource because of The Linguists unique language learning engine. All content is in audio and electronic text format. Learners can download the content for repetitive listening. They read the texts and look up the meaning of words they do not know using an online dictionary. They save new words and phrases to a personal database and thereby take advantage of The Linguists unique learning methodology to really acquire these words and phrases.This partnership is a new initiative for The Linguist, and one which will be repeated with other partners.

Confessions of a Home Biz Junkie
I have been involved in many mlm and direct sales companies over the span of my 9 year career.
It has given me vast insight into the industry.
Also, I have learned more about myself and the secret key ingredients to success that so few people learn and even fewer apply.
My experiences have been my greatest teacher though all were preceded by learning from someone already successful at what I currently wanted to do.
I hate the idea of "making my own mistakes" when I could just as easily learn from someone else's.
Even still, there have been many spectacular failures along with the successes.
Sometimes you will be ready to receive success, other times you won't.
There may still be a lesson you must learn to be worthy of the success you seek.
