I am from Scotland… and try to get away as much as possible. I always like to learn a little bit of a language no matter where I go. What this means is that I have not really gone far past beginners in any language. Now is the time to change all of that : ) I work in e-learning and blended learning solutions. I'm a huge fan of both and believe you will always need one to compliment the other. I love challenge and change. In my life I have been a teacher, an artist an academic, an entrepreneur and a digital designer… sometimes doing more than one thing at the same time. Although I can pick languages up fairly easily on holiday, it always takes me a while to warm up and I never get beyond beginners level. I'd like to push myself to get to an intermediate or advanced level in Spanish and French. Doing 3 months of each would be a good plan… But I will need help and advice so that I can learn in my spare time. As I want to learn so that I can chat to people, I really want to focus on conversation - not grammar, as I don't have to work towards any exams… I just need to be understood. I'm looking for teachers who can take me through revision on beginners and help me accelerate with recommendations in audio, movies and fiction.

Today we learned to express the continuous form of past-present phrases hace que, desde hace and desde cuando. We practiced these in detail and Morna came up with some sentences as well. We began to study irregular verbs today :). We also learned a song today. I really enjoyed the pics and the conversation today. As far a brilliant goes, it is in the EYES of the beholder. Muchas gracias, Morna :)

    Self-discipline.N.Kozlov

     

    Self-discipline is an the ability to practice self-control, and practice to manage( control) yourself, following that you already have which you may have already selected as a lifestyle choice,  and style of life work practice. As a rule it concludes a means rejection from vacuous amusements, with the goal of concentration and improved consciousness .


    Self-discipline has a lot of “foes”( enemies). The main of them are impetuosity and disatractiveness. External signs of a lack of self-discipline

     

    A lack of self-docipline is expressed by are slack gait(?), fussy and not collected erratic movements or lack of coordination(?), lack of ability (also inability) to control the speech, shifting between conversation topics spontaneous shift topics(?), conversations (expressing fear) about fears(?), victim mentality attitude, (fatalic mentality), (blame, excuses fatalism?) excuses and link to circumstances.(?)

     

    A disciplined person won't be late, remembers promises he has given, and carries out (commitments) covenants(?) promises? During the day discipline falls down. TV-sets, noisy company and other distractions can be a very big obstacle to self-discpiline.


    People think that discipline and self-discipline are very hard, boring and repugnant things. This is not the case. You can learn self-discipline, and it can be fun, interesting and creative(?).


    Self-discipline and motivation are connected. Motivation means having a vision of your goals, of perspectives, understanding of ‘where you want to go and why’, and what you will gain from it.

    Presentation about franchise.

    Hi, soon I have exam in English and I have to prepare a short presentation. I would be grateful for the correction of errors.


    Franchising is a system for the sale of goods, services or technology, that is based on a strict and continuous cooperation between legally and financially separate and independent firms: the franchisor and his individual franchisees. (Essence of this system is granting the rights and acceptance of the duties by concluding the franchise agreement.) I'm not sure what you mean by this. Possibly: "The success of this is dependant on negotiating the terms of the Franchise contract."  


    The are some advantages and disadvantages of buying a franchise. The big advantage of buying the franchise is that it could be a simple start to earning money. Because the brand is well known you can be sure to attract customers. you have sure that people will visit it. Apart from that there There are some disadvantages of buying a franchise. For example, when you buy a franchise, you have to pay a franchise fee, and some percentage of the gross profit or turnover. You have nothing to say about what the cannot influence what staff are wearing, or how look like the decoration of the store is decorated. (The worst is that we are dependent in large degree on franchisor.) not sure what you mean by this.


    As is clear from the Report of the franchise market in 2013, the company PROFIT system at the end of last year) not sure what is meant here, Poland had more than 24.5 thousand franchise stores, offering food and industrial products. In contrast, it was not an easy year for clothing companies. With the market was gone 20 clothing franchise systems and 320 shops with clothing and footwear disappeared. 2012 marked the largest fall in the franchise market. In 2012 in Poland, the market gew by 864 franchise systems, that is 59 more than the previous year. Most of them, possibly as many as 29 were in food and drink (gastronomy).

     

    The Polish franchise market has been growing continuously for over 10 years. In the last year, significantly service-based franchises developed significantly, making the Polish franchise market on a par with Western markets, where there this type of franchise is dominant.  as Poland Polish market franchise to more developed Western markets, where there is at a prevalence. According to the report the number of service companies operating in the franchise has grown by more than 15 percent, which is an increase of 56 new systems and there are a total of 424. As is clear from the Report Company PROFIT system franchise (is this the title of a report?) the franchise system is seen by Polish entrepreneurs as a safe business idea. Trust in the business licenses reflects growing number of multibiorców, that is people who run more than one branch. Last year, the franchisee ran an average of 1.15 outlets.
