Feedly Spanish Tools Learning Program

  • Anki, Japanese for "memorizing," is a flashcard program that's been around for years
  • Because it's a flashcard style program, its focus is on memorization. It'll display you a word, phrase, image, or even play a sound, and then leave it to you to make the connection, repeat it, interpret it, and commit it to memory. Anki is great for languages, but it's also useful for studying equations, diagrams, names and faces, and more—its strength is in the fact that you can load it up with custom card sets depending on what it is you want to memorize.
  • Anki is free

  • Memrise is a language learning program that extends beyond vocabulary and language to things like history and science, but at its core it's a flashcard-style program that's augmented with memory tricks, images, and other useful tools to make learning a new language easier.
  • Duolingo takes a different approach to learning a new language than just memorizing words and phrases.
  • The Pimsleur Method is an audio-based method that focuses on participation in speaking and sound exercises than strict memorization and flashcards.
  • Livemocha is an extremely comprehensive language learning community and program, packed with native speakers

FEEDLY race preparation confidence swimming anxiety

  • I was recently approached by a male senior swimmer ‘G’ who wanted help preparing for competition, because he was experiencing issues with anxiety and confidence, and losing time from starting the race feeling tense. The senior Nationals were around 6 weeks away and he wanted some help preparing for the event and races beyond.
  • It became apparent that there were a number of different phases during the run-up to the race that were presenting different challenges, with the effect that by the time G stood on the blocks his mind was full of doubt. We talked through the thoughts and feelings that he experienced in these, slowing things down. Some of the literature relating to pre-competitive anxiety appears to imply quite a static pre-competitive state (or something that changes with time), a swim meet is a very dynamic environment with different challenges, as you will see
  • hese phases were: A positive phase, in which he enjoyed being with team-mates and, indeed, being in the heart of the team. This kept his mind off competing. Physical warm up, and last words with his coach. Again, G was happy with this stage and felt relaxed and confident. Getting changed and ready to report for his race. During this phase, G started to feel rushed and out of control, even though he recognised on a rational level that he had plenty of time. Being in the holding pen. During this phase, of about 20 minutes ‘waiting time’ before between reporting and being summoned to race, G’s feelings of being out of control increased. He described being ‘imposed upon’, feeling ‘penned in’ and ‘intimidated’ by the presence of other swimmers. He questioned his right to be there. Walking to the blocks. Upon being called to race, G again described feeling rushed but, paradoxically, described the ‘long walk’ to the other end of the pool (for a 50m race). Behind the blocks to starting the race. By this point G felt out of control, anxious and again rushed as he undressed to race. As he stood by his block, his loss of confidence was summed up by his description of looking up seeing a very long 50m ahead of him.

  • Mobile technology, such as the iPad, has been extremely helpful for parents and teachers of autistic children, as apps have replaced dedicated devices that cost upwards of $2,000. As part of Autism Awareness Month, we’ve highlighted 10 iPad apps that help address different aspects of autism. 
  • One common symptom of autism is a difficulty in speaking or an inability to speak. Proloquo2Go is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app that teaches children how to construct sentences using symbols and pictures. It also has text-to-speech, word prediction, and a customizable vocabulary and interface.
