Chemistry Definition - What Is the Chemistry Definition of the Physical Properties of Chemicals?
Chemistry Definition - What Is the Chemistry Definition of the Physical Properties of Chemicals?The physical properties of chemicals, the chemical agents which are capable of reacting with other elements, have a great impact on a chemistry experiment. Chemical agents are involved in most of the experiments. A whole new process is needed in order to extract the physical properties of substances which are desirable in experiments.Physical properties define the properties of the substance. When you wish to measure the physical properties of something, then there are two possibilities that you should consider. One is to take the temperature of the sample or to take the density of the sample. We are going to talk about these two steps now.As mentioned earlier, the density of the sample is one of the physical properties that can be calculated. If you do not know what density is, then this article will help you understand that density is the density of a sample of the substance. This densit y determines how heavy the sample is. You need to take into account how the sample absorbs and holds the energy of light.This is because it's possible for the sample to absorb more energy than the exact value, if it's really light. The energy that is absorbed needs to be transformed into heat and so, we need to heat up the sample.The other step that you need to take is that the density of the sample has an exact value. However, this is not really true. While in practice, all the samples of the substance are subjected to an exact amount of energy, the density that we are referring to, is not in practice exactly.There are many agents that are more or less dense. However, these agents, which are denser, will not be able to take into account how much energy is actually absorbed by the sample. In this case, we have to take into account the mass of the sample. Now, it's important to note that when you take the density of the sample, it will have an exact value.The chemistry definition may sound complicated, but it's not. It is very easy to understand. However, if you are not familiar with this chemistry definition, then it would be better to consult with a chemist for a short time. Since it is highly involved in the theory, it would be best to talk to a chemist before putting into practice in any of your experiments.

False Friends Spanish and English False Cognates
False Friends Spanish and English False Cognates One of the more difficult things that many Spanish speakers have while learning English is that there are many words that look and sound similar but have different meanings. We call these false friends or amigos malos. Learning English can be tough from the pronunciation to the grammar but false friends are not that difficult to memorize so that you dont make a mistake. The funniest example is: embarrassed in English sounds similar to embarazada in Spanish. If you tell someone in South America that you are embarrassed they will probably congratulate you and ask when you are due to have your baby. On the other hand if you tell someone that you are embarazada in the US or Canada they will probably ask why and ask if you are uncomfortable because embarrassed in English means that you feel awkward, dumb, self conscious, (verguenza).So below are a list of False friends that are commonly used incorrectly:Actual-means real NOT currentExample: The actual cost of the purse was much lower than the price tag.Particular-means special NOT privateYou can not discriminate against a particular group of people.Familiar-well known NOT relativeIm very familiar with the NorthWestern part of the United States, Ive lived there for many years.Casual-relaxed NOT by chanceThe restaurant does not require formal clothing, casual clothes are fine.Casualty-victim NOT by chanceThe war had many casualties.Soap-to wash your hands NOT to eat with a spoon like soupWe need dish soap for washing the dishes.Jam-is sweet and sometimes made from strawberries NOT ham which comes from cured pig meatMy favorite jam is raspberry.Compromise-an agreement or settlement NOT being engagedMy children are learning to compromise with each other by sharing and working out disagreements.Support-to give assistance NOT unbearable (unsopportable-doesnt exist)I gave her all the support she needed when her mother passed away.Molest-is generally used for sexual abuse or hurting someone in a sexual manner NOT to bother someone.Henry Weinstein the hollywood producers is accused of molesting several young actresses.Here Are The Best Tips For English Fluency:When you want to say: all the day/all the year change it to the whole day or the entire year.I was at the doctors office for the whole day!When you say take decisions you should say make decisions.I need to make a decision about her birthday gift.Remember breakfast/lunch/dinner are not verbs so you must say have or eat breakfast/lunch/dinner.What time do you normally eat breakfast? We eat lunch around noon. In Argentina they have dinner at 10PM!We talk in third person a lot for example: When at a restaurant and they ask how many people for the table you should say: There are four NOT we are four.There are five of us 4 adults and one child.We talk in third person on the phone: We say this is Teauna not I am Teauna.Hello! This is Teauna speaking, can I help you?

Passport to Fluency! The 11 Best Language Apps for Travel
Passport to Fluency! The 11 Best Language Apps for Travel Passport to Fluency! The 11 Best Language Apps for Travel Are you about to embark on the trip of a lifetime?Maybe youre going abroad to study a language youre learning in college.Or maybe you just have a bad case of wanderlust and dont even know much about the language spoken in your soon-to-be-host country.Either way, you might be feeling a little nervous.But fear not.There is, as the old folk saying goes, an app for that.In this post, well detail how to choose a travel app to serve your language needs. Well also look into 11 of the most awesome language apps travelers ought to check out and download pronto! A Thousand Travel Apps: How to Pick the Right One(s) for YouWhen it comes to traveling, there are many categories of apps: flight apps, hotel apps, weather apps, even currency apps. They all serve a particular purpose and can help make the traveling life a breeze.In the same way, the language apps that are designed to help you get around your host country where people are speaking a totally different language can serve you in differ ent ways, and you have plenty of choices out there.So here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing the right app or apps for your travels.Make sure an app is compatible with your preferred mode of communication.Different language travel apps have different virtues. A voice translator app, for example, can mediate your conversation with a native speaker. There are apps you can literally ask something in your native language that will then produce an audible translation of your question in the target language. Then a native speaker can answer you in their native tongue by speaking into the phones mic, and a few milliseconds later, youll know where the nearest train station is!So thats all well and good, but you might not be comfortable holding up your phone to a strangers face so they can listen to it. Maybe you imagine a more direct communication, without the mediation of a smartphone. Perhaps you should choose an audio phrasebook app that can teach you the most useful phrases in the target language so you can ask the questions yourself.Or maybe interacting face-to-face with native speakers could prove to be too overwhelming. Maybe you just want an app that will translate written or printed text. There are apps that do this. Simply point your phones camera to some printed material or signage and youll immediately have the translation.So consider these different situations, and look for apps appropriate for your preferred mode of communication.Read user reviews.Of course developers will tell you their product is the killer app. But take a few minutes to scroll down through the different reviews and youll get a peek at how the app actually fares in the field.Those reviews that give it high ratings tell you why the app rocks. What features were deemed most useful by many of the users? How did it bridge the language gap? Did users rave about an apps accurate translations? Look for repeating themes and common observations.If five reviews call it super fast, t hen there must be something there.Those reviews that give it a low score can warn you of features that users find wanting. Did the translated audio sound robotic? Was the interface confusing?Also pay attention to what languages previous users have used an app for, as its best to choose an app that has a proven reputation for your target language. Not all apps are equally effective for all languages. Because of the inherent qualities of spoken and written languages, an app might work great for European languages but might leave you clueless when it comes to Chinese characters and other writing systems.Avoid apps that might interfere with your travel experience.An app should not require you to be so involved that it makes you forget that youre standing in one of the most beautiful gardens in Europe. A great app facilitates rather than distracts.Pick an app with a friendly user interfaceâ"one thats easy to navigate. A travel app should get you what you want quickly and let you move al ong.Sometimes, an app that has too many options or supports too many languages becomes too much for a traveler. It need not support 200 languages when you know youll only be going to Barcelona. It may be fine if it does, but a perk is only a perk if you use it. When it takes too long to hunt for a specific functionality, find something thats more streamlined but still delivers.And an additional tip, just so you can fully appreciate your travel experience and maximize an app at the same time: Practice using it starting weeks before you leave.That thing should be like the back of your hand by the time you board the plane. You should already know what its capable of, what its limits are and some shortcuts. You shouldnt be firing it up for the first time in your destination.Well now look at eleven awesome language apps for travel that deserve some space in your smartphone.Passport to Fluency! The 11 Best Language Apps for TravelGoogle TranslateAndroid | iOSEver had the experience of wal king the streets of a foreign city, happening by an interesting store sign and wishing you knew what it meant? Well, say no more, Googles app will help instantly translate that inscrutable sign. Simply press the camera icon and take a video of what youre seeing. And just like magic, those words will transform into words that you can understand, right before your very eyes. (Dont even take your eyes from your phones screen because it all happens so fast!)You can do this with street signs, restaurant menus, food packaging instructions and newspaper headlines. With this app on hand, the world suddenly becomes a more meaningful place. Im telling you, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson never had it this good.This functionality comes on top of the apps text lookup and voice recognition function, with the latter allowing you to carry a conversation with a native speaker.And oh, the app is free and supports translations for more than 100 languages. (not all features are available for every lan guage, but you can check on whats available for a specific language here).TripLingoAndroid | iOSThis app packs so much punch, frequent international travelers will find it hard to let go.For starters, TripLingo has a phrasebook for 13 supported languages, which conveniently organizes the most useful language expressions. Categories like Just the Basics and Eating and Drinking ensure you dont get into mental gaps during interactions with native speakers, or run out of things to say. Speaking of native speakers, TripLingo creates four levels of formality when talking to them: Formal, Casual, Slang and Crazy.(How many apps will teach you how to talk crazy in a foreign language?)TripLingo has a learning section where you get access to audio lessons and a dictionary as well as flashcard sets in your target language.But if you dont have time for them on your trip, the app also has voice and text translator functions, which get your basic translation needs sorted.For more complicated or di fficult translations, the app actually gives you access to live person help. For a fee, you can call standby translators and get in-depth translation services.In addition to all this language help, the developers have proved that they have users well-being in mind because theyve integrated traveler tools like safety information, cultural guides, etiquette advice, dining options, currency conversions and even a tip calculator.Like I said, it will be hard to let go once you get used to TripLingo.FluentUAndroid | iOSFluentU takes real-world videosâ"like movie trailers, music videos, news and vlogsâ"and turns them into personalized language lessons. Sounds great, but what exactly does that have to do with travel, you may ask?Well, as it turns out, aside from warming up your language skills for your trip, FluentU can help you prepare and plan for the trip itself as well as give you vocab for situations you actually encounterâ"like ordering in a restaurant in Japan or seeing the sight s in Quebec.The Culture video category includes travel videos, educational clips about cultural and historical sites, and ideas for things to see and do in various countries and cities specific to your target language.Every video comes with interactive captions and translations, so youll be able to use authentic content to enhance your travel experience without ever feeling lost or intimidated.You can also use the search bar to find places, activities, food and more. For example, maybe you search for castles once you get to Germany and wind up considering a day trip to the Neuschwanstein. Or maybe you type in Granada because thats where youre going to be next week and this Granada-specific video series packed with useful travel terminology pops right up.The best thing about FluentU is that you can work all of your language learning seamlessly into your travels and travel planning, whether you happen to be on or off the road (or in the air).FluentU is currently available for nine m ajor languages, with more in the works.Lonely Planet GuidesAndroid | iOSCount yourself lucky if your host city is one of the 100+ cities already curated by Lonely Planet experts.With this app, youll be pointed to must-see sights and must-do activities. Itll help you explore the landscape of Amsterdam, Barcelona, Cape Town, Dubai, etc. Youll be guided on the groundâ"where to go, what transportation to take, what neighborhoods might be interesting. There are maps and travel tips that you can use so you can roam the city with confidence.As a language learner, youll be especially interested in their audio phrasebooksâ"which include the perfect things to say as you get around and interact with the locals. So on the plane, before you hit the ground running, listen to these travel phrases as pronounced by native speakers.The phrasebooks, available in 19 languages, used to be stand-alone apps. They were fine in that state. But integrated into their guides, language learning travelers are able to bridge the gap between knowing where they want to go and actually getting there.As long as youre traveling, youll also benefit from checking out Lonely Planets numerous other guides, books, maps and resources that are available for a staggering number of countries and locales on their website.(How to) Pronounce(iOS only)Pronunciation is as important as vocabulary and grammar. You dont want to be like the language learner who memorizes all his lines before a big trip, only to discover that native speakers dont understand a single word he says. He may be saying the right words, but his intonation, emphasis and diphthongs are all over the placeâ"he might as well have spoken a totally different language.(How to) Pronounce app to the rescue! Its role is simple enough. You type a word, and you hear it spoken by a native speaker. You get an audio example of how the syllables and the stresses roll off the tongue of someone whos heard them from birth. You can even vary the speed and listen to the words pronounced in slow mo.This app is currently available in 18 different languages, with regional differences for English. Its perfect not just for actors who need to deliver some lines, but if youre a business traveler who doesnt want awkward attempts at being understood, or if you want haggle with a seasoned street vendor. You need to show natives that you know what its all about. And that starts with pronunciation.MemriseAndroid | iOSSay youre at the airport waiting for your flight. The Memrise app could kill time and make that wait super productive.Its an app that integrates the latest in memory research and gets you learning foreign words and phrases. The Memrise method of getting this done is really easy. It repeats the words youre learning over and over. Simple, right?But Memrise does this in a non-repetitive and interesting manner.So lets say you find yourself working with the Spanish word muy (very). The app will first introduce the word and let you pick the English translation from a set of choices. Then maybe later it will give you the English translation and make you pick the other way. Or it may give you an audio clip and ask you to type the word. It can also ask you to say the word into the phones mic. All this time, the app is also introducing you to other words.By using a number of mini-tasks and their permutations, youre able to slowly integrate the target words into your memory. So by the time you get on the plane and find yourself seated next to a native speaker, you have something to contribute to the conversation other than that gorgeous smile of yours.Memrise supports over 20 languages.iTranslateAndroid | iOSThe iTranslate app lets you speak in over 100 languages, so that wherever you are in the world, you can soar over language barriers.This app has voice recognition technology. Speak into your phone, and it will convert your words into text. That text will then be translated into your desired language. So within secon ds you get a translation for what you just said. You can then have a native speaker have a look-see or listen to it. (For some of the worlds major languages, you dont even need an internet connection to enjoy this feature.)iTranslate can have entire websites translated automatically, which takes away the guesswork in your research. Also, the app contains dictionaries so you can look up words. Heck, they even have verb conjugations for different tenses. Its like having a complete language cheat sheet for your travels.TandemAndroid | iOSTandem is best known as a language exchange app. Language exchange is when you trade teaching your first language to somebody for them teaching you his/her first language. So for example, youre an English speaker who wants to learn Korean. The Tandem app helps you find a Korean native speaker who also wants to learn English. By helping each other out, you both get closer to your language learning goals. (The app can help you find native speakers of 15 0+ different languages.)You might be wondering why Tandem is included in this list for travelers. Its because you can also use Tandem to find some friends who reside in the country youll be visiting. You can get to know them months in advance, so when you fly in for a visit, some friendly smiles are waiting for you, helping you to get around. Theres nothing like a local to help you immerse in the target language.Of course, be sure to follow standard safety precautions. Never meet anyone by yourself, and always keep meetings to public places.Foodictionary (International Food and Beverage Translator)(iOS only)One thing youre sure to do in your travels is eat. And it would be a shame to be in a foreign country and still be scarfing down your usual Big Mac.Food is big in every culture. And as language learners, food is one of the very first things we learn in any languageâ"along with colors, animals and yeah, the cuss words. But what if youre sitting in some authentic restaurant, havin g managed to make decent banter with the patient waiter who hands you the menu, and youre suddenly staring at words youve never met before?Whip out your Foodictionary app. Just choose from the list of 7 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian and Greek), type in the dish from the restaurant menu and voilà , you get that beurre is butter in French and that escargots au beurre is tantilizingly right.Another way of finding your food is by using the categories provided on the app. So, for example, in the Appetizers section, youll find the most common appetizers in the culture.Foodictionary is a handy tool to solve the mystery that is your meal. Now you can get back to enjoying your food and the rest of your trip!LikeALocal(iOS only)Would you like to discover those hidden places and tucked away corners only native speakers know about? This one here is for travelers who want to venture off the beaten path and dive hard into the local scene. The LikeALocal app is a city guide that has been described by the Huffington Post as the Yelp for tourists.If you want to know what native speakers think is the best restaurant in town, if you want insider info on the most happening places in the city or if you just want to find out where the locals love to hang out, this is the perfect app for you. (Theyve curated over 60 cities and counting!)With no language lessons, no voice recognition technology and no hope of translations, why is this on our list of language apps?Because its an app that puts you right in front of native speakers.Language learning is about interaction and communication: a shared experience in a local bar, standing in a long queue with native speakers, nonsensically singing along with a local singer and butchering the language along the way. Thats what speaking a language is all about. Its getting in there with the natives, engaging in the same experiences, immersing yourself in their world and in their language.This app is for advance d and intrepid language learners and travelers who really want to go deeper into the culture and the language.Use LikeALocal in conjunction with the other apps mentioned in this list and get ready to take travel and language learning to a whole new level.WaygoAndroid | iOSGoing to China, Japan or Korea? Then the Waygo app is a must have. Other more general translation apps sometimes have trouble when it comes to Asian scripts like those used for Chinese, Japanese and Korean, but this app is actually meant specifically for them.So when you find yourself looking at text in these languages that you dont understand, simply point your video camera at them and an instant translation will be given. Youll hear how the words are pronounced and even be provided with a pronunciation guide. This award-winning app works best on signage, menus and other printed materials.Best of all, Waygo works offline.Its time to pack your things, have a true friend drive you to the airport and fly to the host country of your choice.Any combo of these language apps will have your back, and youll not be at a loss for words.So have the travel experience of your dreams, and the language learning experience of a lifetime.Good luck!

New Features Official italki Groups
New Features Official italki Groups One important aspect of learning a language is getting connected into a community of students and teachers. Thats why we revised our Groups function on italki. We wanted to make it easier to have discussions about every aspect of learning a language. What weve done is create official italki Groups for every language. Each language now has five official groups called: Learning the language Teachers and Schools Tests and Exams Culture and Society Travel, Living Abroad and Study Abroad We made this change in order to consolidate discussions in each language. All of the previous user-created groups still exist, and you can still create your own group. As with before, each group is basically a forum where members of the group can create a topic and start a discussions with other group members. We also wanted to highlight a few interesting ways you could use groups. Many teachers have asked us how they can reach students who are interested in paid tutoring sessions. Teachers can now post information about themselves in the Teachers and Schools Group (example: Teachers and Schools for learning English). We think this could be a great place for teachers to market to students, and for students to learn more about a teachers background and teaching style. Another interesting use of groups could be for sharing test knowledge (example: Tests and Exams for learning English. Now if you are taking a language test such as the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foriegn Language), the HSK (the main test for Chinese proficiency), or the AP Spanish test (US College Boards test of Spanish competency) you should be able to find discussions about how to prepare for them in the Tests and Exams group for that language. In general, we just wanted to make it easier for the italki community to connect and communicate with each other.
