The silence within yourself
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from. Elisabeth

Learning like a human
While reading an essay about the brain, and how people think of our brain as a computer I came up with this post. The title of the essay is "The empty brain", It explains how humans are different from machines, and how our memories don't storage things or are programmed to do so. As we grow our abilities improve and language is something we are not born with, babies will learn the language they are exposed to.
So then I though that our brains are simple and at the same time complicated, the way we acquire knowledge is simple even though remembering is another matter. Memory doesn't storage information like computers, remembering things "we have feelings for" is human nature, like to be away from fire because we are afraid of getting burn. In the other hand computer can "learn" or recall things we program them to, however this is not something they can do by themselves.
Of course this is just my opinion about learning with feelings involved, but when you think about how children develop awareness about their surrounding, social life and how they face different situations in life, is basically "feelings + curiosity" what helps them to learn more about the world. I have heard people say that they can't learn things because they have grown old, but this is also false, meeting many polyglots that started learning their second or third language at their later thirties, and then being able to speak 7 or 9 by their late forties. So I wonder how this could happen?

Memory Games Young Brain
Hello, It's been a long time since I posted anything. Since my discovery of Shared Lingo to the fact that I am using QQ (chinese app) everyday.

How important is memory for learning?
Try remembering how to say I am hungry in 10 languages in one day. Is that really important? No.
The important thing is that learning is remembering in time.Sunday, March 27, 2016
Why memory is important?
One of the most controversial topics in the world is, memory, for a long time, people have wondered how our memory works and how to improve it, for the simple task of remembering your friends phone without checking on your cell phone or to do better at school. As a language student, memory for me has become an important and interesting topic.I found this TED video very interesting I'll continue to talk about my memory journey, but before, let's see what can we learn about memory from this video.

Language Community SharedLingo
https://sharedlingo.com
Let's talk about the community. The Community is pretty nice, however they are really shy when it comes to voice chat, about 13 was the biggest numbers of users in voice chat that saw at the moment, whole community.
Chatting Rooms: However it has general chat room which more active users about 75 as minimum. Voice chat: Well the quality isn't the best for connecting but once it does, it doesn't crash (maybe because it doesn't have a camera.)
Design: I give extra points for design because it's clean and easy.
Games: No much to offer only 4 languages available and one game option. (>o> what?)
There aren't many native users in Korean or Japanese rooms however it might be because it isn't weekend yet.
I found out that no many of my friends know about it, and most of them aren't willing to try because they found someone to practice with so yes the community is pretty short, I think it will grow :) because the site is easy to use, I think you can have on your phone, I haven't tried tho.
I hope you join the site and help it to become a better place :3 and of course let's learn together.
This is my personal opinion as a user I haven't been paid in anyway.

English Grammar
I a wonderful site for grammar, sometimes when writing an essay or even for us that are learning more that one language at time which can be confusing sometimes, I recomend you this site that will help you a lot, by asking questions or even giving to the community you can improve your English language ability, and of course be a better writer.

Language Community Gospeaky
After crying because Sharedtalk closed I moved to this site, the community is pretty nice and friendly however they are a little shy when it comes to voice chat.(Plus voice chat here is more like video chatting.) The quality of the video is good but sometimes crashes and some people have complaint that it's harder to use with some browsers. (Like firefox, perhaps it's just their internet, for me it's pretty fine but well).
You can also add as many languages as you can in both your native and learning languages. Oh right we also have levels that reflects your contribution to the Speaky community.
Let me know if you like it and once you're there if you see my profile don't hesitate in sending a message maybe we could practice together.
Go and check it out if I have forgot something let me know and I'll add it.
