Latin
Jan 14, 2023
Studente inaffidabile, dopo una prima lezione di latino andata bene, ha lasciato una recensione poco chiara che sembrava un giudizio negativo. Ho cercato di capire, ma non mi ha dato spiegazioni convincenti. Preferisco non fare altre lezioni con questo studente. Unreliable student, after a first Latin lesson that went well, he left an unclear review that seemed like a negative judgement. I tried to understand, but he didn't give me any convincing explanations. I prefer not to do any more lessons with this student.

    Thanks for your help. In English A good teacher does not teach a language, a good teacher teaches a person.

    Un buon insegnante non si insegna una lingua, invece si insegna una persona

    Hard question. Rahnesha gives a great example in my opinion. Sometimes they can all be used interchangeably, other times not. Consent is probably used more when you are giving someone a right to something personal. You give a doctor consent to operate on you, (it’s true that you also permit the doctor to operate on you, or agree that the doctor can operate on you but consent is more appropriate), the age of consent is another example, or you might give a lawyer consent to act on your behalf. So the way I look at it, if you agree, or permit to give something personal to someone else (your legal rights, your body) you consent to it. Permission is also something that you give. If you want to borrow something from me, I’ll need to give you permission, or permit you to borrow it. I can ”consent” to let you use my lawnmower, but permit is probably a better term. Agree is a much broader term. It can apply to the examples above, but I don’t necessarily have to give something up to “agree”. I usually do have to give something up If I permit or consent. For example I agree that Ranesha has given a good answer, Ive lost nothing by saying that. If I permit you to use my lawnmower, then I give you my lawnmower for a couple of hours (and I don’t have it). If I consent to an operation, I allow a surgeon to cut me open. Hope that hasn’t confused you further, also just my opinion.

    Looking for an Italian teacher that uses Yabla as a resource
    Hi all,

    I’m looking for an Italian teacher who uses Yabla as a resource. I live near Sydney, Australia so timing is sometimes a bit of an issue as well. I’ve gotten a lot out of Yabla and a lot out of italki and I think it would really accelerate my learning if I had a tutor that could work with me using Yabla videos.

    If you are an Italian teacher, that uses Yabla and has some flexibility around availability, please get in contact with me.

    I’ve been learning Italian for nearly ten years and I doubt I could write a paragraph in that language as well as you just did in English, and English and Italian use the same alphabet and have thousands of cognates.

    Some people do it easier than others, if it’s what you want to do, keep doing it. Even if you never get there, it’s very good for your brain. Bi lingual people suffer less dementia later in life so no amount of language study is wasted.

    It looks like a mistake that wasn't corrected by the editor before publishing. Perhaps the writer was considering writing "then held for at least two hours" but decided to write "about two hours" instead, forgetting to delete the "at" . Your English must be good to notice something small like this as not looking right. I am not American, but I think that FLL is the airport code for Fort Lauderdale airport. Just like how LAX is the code for Los Angeles International Airport. The other sentence you referred to is also poorly written and similarly could be due to the writer changing their mind about what to include in the sentence. "A federal judge blocked the order days before Ali Jr. was detained" or "The order was blocked days before Ali Jr. was detained" would probably have been ok, but was was written is not. I guess that is one of the problems with using Twitter and online news sites, they are likely to contain more errors due to a lack of oversight by an experienced editor and the demands to publish stories as quickly as possible.
