Learn English Fast

Posted on July 14, 2019August 18, 2019 by Jason Lee

As a second most spoken language in the world and arguably the most powerful language in the world, English is a must to learn for many people. Here is a short list of tips on how to improve learning English fast.

Sometimes Why is more important than How

If you don’t know Why you are learning English, or if the reason you are trying to learn English is not really a compelling one for your self, naturally you just aren’t going to put as much effort in to it. It’s the most important factor in learning English or any language (or perhaps doing anything in life for that matter).

Specific goals

If you just say I want to speak English well. That is a very generic goal. If you say, I’m going to date someone that speaks English, again, that’s a very generic goal. It’s better to have specific goals like, within three months, I want to comfortably speak to my English teacher about a particular sports. Within 6 months, I want to score ___ on a @@@ test.

You want to add a time limit, and you want to have a clear measurement of if you succeeded on that goal or not. If your measurement stick is “fluent” how are you going to know if you achieved that goal? Are you going to compare it to the person you are speaking to? To your neighbor? Or an English teacher? Set specific timeline and goals.

Be comfortable with challenge

You don’t want to be feeling confident in your reading all the time. You don’t want to be in a conversation you are comfortable all the time. That means it’s just too easy for you. Get used to a little challenging environment. That’s a sign that you are continuously learning.

You have a set goal now. Look for the tools that will help you achieve it and make it a daily habit.

English tutor might be a good option. Maybe a English language class. I know some people went to a vacation in Hawaii and decided they are going to also spend some time learning English by attending a ESL class in Hawaii because they didn’t want to break the daily habit of studying English. Probably going to the US and to a place like Hawaii would have given them enough English for those days, but they wanted to stay in a structured environment to accelerate their learning. That’s one way to turn your fun moments in to a learning experience.

Make mistakes. Lots of them.

I remember when I told my roommate, “I have cold”, my roommate was very confused. He didn’t know what I meant. I thought it was a simple enough sentence in a simple enough setting, and I couldn’t understand why he couldn’t understand. What I should have said was, “I have a cold”. He couldn’t figure out if I meant, “I feel cold because the air is cool” or “I have a cold and feel sick”. Without that mistake and his confused face, I think I’ll still be saying “I have (nothing here) cold”. Mistakes are going to happen, and the quicker you go through them, the quicker you will improve.

Keep going. Keep learning. It’s not going to be easy, but if you make it in to a daily habit, all of a sudden you are going to feel a break through. You will start picking up words and phrases live, instead of having to look them up later. All of a sudden sentences are going to make sense. All of a sudden you are going to realize you are actually processing what others are saying in English without a translation in to your own language. Keep it going.

Likewise, the book needed for the entrepreneurs to start a business is available on the internet. But all you have to do is to search the books according to the way that has been guided by the experts.

In summary you will get to know of the chapters written by the author. Find whether this book is for you or not. If you found that the sections or the book are about the topic regarding your requirement, then you should buy the book from the internet or read the PDF version of the book in the computer or in the laptop.

It is not mandatory that authors must be a renowned one

Many people made the mistake of selecting the business books by the distinguished authors or by someone who is a standing figure in business.

Business or marketing books by an author who is not so renowned may be your ultimate requirement for the business idea that you are looking for.

4 Carpet Cleaning Methods and Their Advantages

Posted on May 1, 2016November 27, 2017 by Jason Lee

There is a variety of carpet cleaning methods that you can choose from. The cost of cleaning, the nature and degree of soiling, the fiber it is made of and the place of use will decide the method of cleaning that will be employed. Each cleaning method has its benefits, and here you will explore the four most common cleaning methods used. Oahu Carpet Cleaning YouTube has good examples for it.

Shampooing

It is a traditional cleaning method that has been used over time by professional cleaners. It involves the use of foaming chemical and a manual or automated scrubber. This method of cleaning will serve you best if you use a low pile carpet and it has been heavily soiled. This approach requires that the carpet is thoroughly vacuumed since there is no extraction involved. However, steam cleaning is preferred by professional carpet cleaners. This approach has a disadvantage of long drying hours,

Hot water extraction

This method is also known as steam cleaning. This method employs the use of water under very high temperature and pressure. Water in this state can effectively loosen the dirt allowing carpet cleaning machine to draw the dirt away instantly. When a carpet has been soiled, it may require to be preconditioned using the right detergent depending on the texture and material used. All the same, hot water extraction is effective in removing bacteria, allergens and dirt from your carpet. This is one of the most popular cleaning methods among manufacturers. This method requires long drying hours; this is the most cited disadvantage.

Carpet dry cleaning

Carpet dry cleaning employs no water. It is appropriate for cleaning where short drying time is required. It is friendly to most fabrics that are used to make carpets. The carpet is first preconditioned by putting a small amount of sprinkle and then it is run over by a vacuum cleaner. It is effective where both shampoo and hot water extraction is not a possible choice. It is also good for carpets that experience high traffic and require regular cleaning. You can, therefore, use this method of carpet cleaning to make sure your office or the floor of your business premise is clean.

Bonnet cleaning

This method can easily be mistaken for dry cleaning, it is, however, different since it uses cleaning products. Depending on the nature of the material of the carpet and the cleaning agent used, there may be a need to use carbonated water. A bonnet is run over the stained area to make it clean. This is only appropriate to remove soil on the carpet before the actual cleaning of the carpet. It is convenient and allows you time to plan for cleaning of your carpet in cases where you would otherwise be forced to clean.…

Ohana Airlines

Posted on December 17, 2015November 27, 2017 by Jason Lee

I just want to talk a little bit about traveling within Hawaii. Many people come here to visit one island, but I think if they are planning to take some time to stay for vacation, let’s say over 10 days, I think it’s definitely worth a trip to hop on a flight and visit another island.

Each island in Hawaii has a very distinctive feel to it once you land there. If you are landing in Honolulu, Oahu, vs Kona, Hawaii (the Big Island) you will think you are in a different world all together.

There are a few airlines that operate in Hawaii. If you are someone that travels to and from Hawaii to mainland USA, then Hawaiian Airlines might be the best bet, because it connects with other airlines, and you can accumulate mileages. However, if you are doing a one time visit, or if you are commuting back and forth between the islands in Hawaii, then Ohana Airlines just me be the one for you. It is by Empire Airlines manages it, but it’s still part of the Hawaiian Airlines. They go to Molokai and Lanai, so it covers good portion of the trips that you might want to take.

Other airlines are Island Air and Mokulele Airlines.

These are the airlines that connect from the major hub airlines to the state’s smaller airports, so you can fly to your destination as close as possible.

There is no place like Hawaii. You will hear so often once people visit here, they want to move here. While rest of the world is screaming about the cold winter and snow, in Hawaii they are putting long sleeves on, because it “dropped down” to high sixties. Granted that there are no heaters – or very rare to see one – in Hawaii, it just sounds like a nice place to be.

Best of luck on your travel to Hawaii! Maybe we’ll see each other there one day~…
