			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Subtitles play a very important part in making us understand a movie plot. Especially, if you are one of those who enjoy watching foreign films. Although sometimes, it is quite frustrating if you don&#8217;t understand the subtitle too.</p>
<p>Look at this one for example:<br />
<a href="http://www.talktocanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/badlove-thinks.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-2668" src="http://www.talktocanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/badlove-thinks-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="193" height="193" /></a></p>
<p><em>(text: He will automatically thinks that he&#8217;ll also be forgiven as well the next time)</em></p>
<p>Say what?</p>
<p>Some say, one way to learn English is through watching movies with English subtitles.However, if people are exposed to these kinds of subtitles it does more damage than good because that person might think that it’s correct and might use it for conversation.</p>
<p>Better yet, get the English training that is interactive, live,  with native English speakers and 100% beneficial</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone has been asked this question when they were a child. What would you like to be when you grow up little Jimmy or Jane?</p>
<p>I remember my cousin saying I want to be a fireman and few days later he changed his mind. He said he had bigger plans in life. My aunt asked him again, so what do you like than when you grow up? He said confidently “I want to be the fireman’s boss”   (well actually he ended up being a preacher).</p>
<p>When I was younger I had different answers to this question. One day I would like to be a nurse, another day a teacher, some days an engineer, a lawyer, a doctor. I ended up being a communications major instead.</p>
<p>We all reach our degrees by learning. School plays a vital part in this learning process. However, a bigger part of this learning process unfolds as we live our everyday life. My teacher once told me that we couldn’t learn everything from the four corners of our classroom. There is much more to learn when we leave the premises of our school&#8230;She was right.</p>
<p>We should never stop learning. As Henry L. Doherty says it &#8211; Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study.  Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Laugh while you learn! Jokes can be another effective way to learn English. If you want to laugh and get the gist of a joke of course you need to understand the language in which it is written (or said).</p>
<p>Try this one:</p>
<p><em>A little boy was in a relative’s wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride’s side and groom’s side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar loudly.</em></p>
<p><em>So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle.</em></p>
<p><em>As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the front. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was near tears himself by the time he reached the pulpit.</em></p>
<p><em>When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, “I was being the Ring Bear.”</em></p>
<p>Did you get it? Well, I hope it lit up your face a little. :) However, if you still have that puzzled look in your face then probably you need to learn more English.</p>
<p>Learning English can be fun too. Try to laugh while you learn, when you enjoy learning you won’t really need to exert more effort and motivation since you are having fun as well!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine you are in an English speaking country and…</p>
<p>You’re in a restaurant. Your food is 30 minutes late, when it arrived – you immediately noticed that it is not what you ordered. How do you say it to the waiter or to the manager?</p>
<p>Your credit card bill statement has some fees you don’t remember purchasing. You try to call their customer care line. How will you say it?</p>
<p>You’ve just arrived in the hotel where you made a reservation a week ago. However, the front desk staff notifies you that there is no reservation made under your name and the hotel is fully booked. How will you deal with this situation?</p>
<p>Your internet has stopped working. You see all the lights on your modem seem to be flickering fine. You call your internet service provider. How will you state your problem to the tech support?</p>
<p>Your most awaited boxing match is about to start when your TV started to go blurry. You call the cable hotline number. What will you tell them?</p>
<p>Tech supports and customer care usually needs to get a lot of information to help you resolve your problem. How do you provide the needed information if you don’t know how to say it?</p>
<p>Not all customer cares have multilingual representatives and usually you need to go through the whole process (and cycle if you missed to press) of listening to the phone directories (those annoying press one for this, press two for that…and some voice operated answering machine won&#8217;t get what you&#8217;re saying if the accent isn&#8217;t right)</p>
<p>How do you get your complaints across when you don’t know what to say and how to say it?</p>
<p>Even in these circumstances it is reliable if you have a good grasp of the English language. However, if you don’t have the confidence to air your concerns yet, we are here to help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I wrote about Scrabble and how the popular board game can  significantly help improve your English skills, including word and  grammar skills.</p>
<p>Today, I wanted to let you know about a number of other games that you can try to work on improving your English.</p>
<p><strong>Wordipelago</strong><strong> </strong>- A massively multi-player on-line word game. Think Scrabble on an infinite board.</p>
<p><strong>Book Worm</strong> – A brand new word-building game that is becoming increasingly popular</p>
<p><strong>Boggle (iPad)</strong> &#8211; Pit your word skills against others in a game  of WordsPlay. Scoring is real-time, and players can instantly see if the  word they enter is accepted.</p>
<p><strong>Lexulous</strong> – Like playing Scrabble online except for free with a popular rating system.</p>
<p><strong>Words with Friends (iPad)</strong> – Over 20 million users on the iPad can’t be wrong. This is the second best to the real deal!</p>
<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2011/09/index8.jpg"><img title="word games" src="../wp-content/uploads/2011/09/index8.jpg" alt="" width="168" height="155" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re looking for unusual, yet effective ways to <a href="http://www.talktocanada.com" target="_self">learn English online</a> while having fun, why don’t you try playing Scrabble?</p>
<p>Scrabble is the world’s most famous word game. Playing is simple: gathers two to four players to score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a game board marked with a 15-by-15 grid. Sold in 121 countries, it estimated that over 150 million sets have been sold worldwide.</p>
<p>But now you can also play it online, as Scrabble is found on Facebook and iPad; There are lots of good reasons why people play Scrabble online: making friends, building a vocabulary or just plain competition.<br />
Experts agree that if you play Scrabble, you build your vocabulary and word skills. As you become more interested in the words in the words on the board, your language skills will increase also.</p>
<p>Scrabble in the class room is n<a href="http://www.talktocanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/index7.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3781" title="scrabble" src="http://www.talktocanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/index7.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="127" /></a>othing new when teaching English. Some schools use Scrabble to conduct spelling tests, learn about tenses or see how many words can be made during a short period of time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a recession, training budgets are often the first to be axed.  A lot of companies hold back budgets while still needing to develop staff language skills.</p>
<p>With the ability to <a href="http://www.talktocanada.com">learn English online</a>, companies really don’t have a good excuse to stall.</p>
<p>When combined with a highly qualified team of teachers in a one-on-one setting, the virtual class room enabled by Internet communication tools such as WebEx or Skype is an incredibly powerful teaching platform.</p>
<p>And let’s not forget – businesses don’t have to send the staff off site to an expensive training facility. In addition, learning English over Skype allows students to take a class from the comfort of their own office desk. This saves both time and money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Language skills are the key to high performance in a global workplace. While the economic uncertainties are larger than ever, many organizations are scaling up their hiring activity.</p>
<p>If you are looking to find a new job and be part of the race, learning English online can help you stick out and differentiate in yourself.</p>
<p>A survey by specialist language recruiter*), has indicated that language skills improve employability. The agency polled 228 employers of whom 86% felt that languages were an important skill set.</p>
<p>In black and white; English speaking candidates have a better chance of getting hired.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ecs-sprachtraining.de/images/do-you-speak-english.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="132" align="left" /> Employers are not expecting immediate perception, but are looking for candidates with average or better than average command of English as a second language.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With over 25 million iPads sold, it was only a matter of time until students started to use the tablet to take English speaking courses. The iPad is a perfect device for learning English online.</p>
<p>Mobile learning is a rapidly emerging as the leading form of e-learning. Gartner, the leading analyst firm, is predicting that 208 million tablets will be in use by 2014, up from an estimated 54 million in 2011.</p>
<p>A lot of students turn to mobile devices and tables to <a href="http://www.talktocanada.com"title="" >learn English online</a> because they allow for a short, engaging burst of learning while waiting in line, on the subway or sitting at home.</p>
<p>If you are looking to use your iPad, Android or Windows-tablet to learn English online, the apps you need are usually free. For instance, you can download WebEx and Skype from the app stores at no cost.</p>
<p>Many students are using Facebook via their tablet or mobile device to connect with other students and teachers. English teaching companies such as TalktoCanada.com are using Facebook to connect with students on computers, mobiles and tablets to spark discussion and communicate training information.</p>
