12 Classic French Movies All Students Need to See

12 Classic French Movies All Students Need to See Suzy S. Nothing beats relaxing with a great film while you practice your French! French tutor  Carol Beth  shares her favorite French movies for students Watching movies is a great way to maintain and expand your knowledge of French, and there are quite a few enjoyable French movies out there. The following list covers many of the most well-known films that students should check out. The list begins with the most “tame” movies and progresses to those that include romantic themes (or scenes) and sometimes violence. For later films, parents and teachers of younger French students may wish to preview, warn, supervise, obtain guardian permission, or wait until the children or students are mentally and emotionally ready. Ratings are included where possible. 1) Astérix et Obélix contre César (1999) This film is based on the popular French comic strip starring the two title characters. Astérix is a fierce and clever little Gaulois who with his big, strong sidekick Obélix and the rest of their village stands up to the Romans who have taken over the rest of Gaul (Frances old name), and would love to finish off their task by taking over Astérix and Obelixs village. But, Asterix and Obelix are too clever for that, right? This film was followed by Astérix Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre in 2002, Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques in 2008, and Astérix et Obélix: Au service de sa Majesté in 2012. Unlike the comic strip, these four films are all live-action films with real actors. There have also been quite a few cartoon-based movies from the 1967 cartoon Astérix le Gaulois all the way up to the 2014 3-D cartoon Asterix: Le Domaine des dieux. Not all seem to have been rated. As a reference point, Astérix Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre was rated PG. 2) La Gloire de Mon Pere (My Fathers Glory) (1990) La Gloire de Mon Pere follows the experiences of a young boy during a vacation outside the city of Provence, in the south of France. The landscape and ways of life depicted in the film are typical of French families at the time of the film; southern French landscape still appears similarly today. La Gloire de Mon Pere also has a sequel, Le Chateau de Ma Mere (My Mothers Castle) (1990), in which the boys family returns to the city for work and school, but continues to visit the same country house on the weekends. Not rated. 3) Les Choristes (2004) For music and education lovers, Les Choristes is a little like a French Mr. Hollands Opus. The main character, a teacher, takes a job at a private boys school which is ruled with an iron fist by an overly-strict and closed-minded principal. The new teacher develops a more positive relationship with the students with his understanding character and love for music. The impact on all their lives is great, especially for one little boy, who grows up to become the films narrator. Rated PG-13. 4) Jean de Florette (1986) Jean de Florette is based on a novel by Marcel Pagnol, and tells the tragic tale of Jean de Florette a hunchback with a love for life, determination, and work ethic who returns to the land he has inherited in Provence with his wife and daughter. Their neighbors, an uncle and his grown nephew, pretend to be friends, but really have an eye on their land. Jean de Florette is followed by a sequel, Manon des Sources (1986), which follows the story of Jeans daughter, Manon. Manon des Sources follows up on and resolves much of what happened in Jean de Florette. Rated PG and PG-13, respectively. 5) Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) Cyrano de Bergerac is based on an 1897 French play by Edmond Rostand set in 18th-century Paris. Cyrano is a proud and eloquent soldier with a gift for poetry, but he is not very good-looking and is particularly sensitive about his rather large nose. He falls in love with his cousin, but she has her eye on a handsome but tongue-tied, ineloquent young soldier in Cyranos regiment named Christian. Out of his desire to express himself, without disrespecting the cousin he loves, Cyrano initiates a devious plot with Christian. This is a great film for those who love tragic romance that is also somewhat intellectual. Rated PG. 6) La Vie en Rose (2007) La Vie en Rose recounts the story of Edith Piaf (played by Marion Cotillard). Piaf was a famous 20th-century singer around the time of World War II who, despite difficult and humble beginnings and personal problems throughout her life, captured the French imagination. Rated PG-13. 7) Les Compères (1983) Les Compères begins with a worried mother who calls two old lovers to help her find, help and bring back home her troubled, runaway son. She independently tells both lovers neither of which is her husband nor the actual father her son has always known that they are his father. The boy is thoroughly confused when they find him almost simultaneously with the same claim, but comes to appreciate their humorously opposite personalities. Rated PG. 8) Timbuktu (2014) Timbuktu follows the story of Kidane, a cattle herder, who lives outside of Timbuktu at a time when religious fundamentalism has become more common. Though his life is at first peaceful, local ruling jihadists soon disrupt his and his familys lives. Includes Tuareg, Bambara, French, Arabic, and a little English. Rated PG-13. 9) Le Fabuleux Destin DAmélie Poulain (2001) Le Fabuleux Destin DAmélie Poulain was a hit in the US when it first came out, following the life of Amélie as she seeks true love. Amélie is a cute and sweet but mischievous character who puts her crush through quite a search through Paris to find her. Rated R. 10)La Femme Nikita (1990) Nikita is offered a chance to avoid punishment (life in prison) for past crimes in return for her role as an assassin. After some convincing, she does so â€" quite successfully cultivating her feminine charm, discretion, and deadly aim. As she builds her new life, she also finds herself a boyfriend she loves and who loves her. But then a mission goes awry. I do not recommend this film for especially young viewers or for those who are sensitive to romantic or violent scenes. Rated R. 11) The Trois Couleurs Trilogy The Trois Couleurs trilogy, consisting of Bleu (Blue), Blanc (White), and Rouge (Red) (named for the colors of the French flag), follows the stories of three groups of individuals whose stories are connected by the intersection of their lives. The films stories are said to represent liberty, equality, and fraternity â€" the ideals of the French Revolution. Bleu explores the life of the main character, Julie, as she seeks emotional liberty after the death of her husband and daughter in a car crash. Blanc follows Karol, a recent divorcee, as he seeks equality through revenge. And finally, Rouge explores the relationships between the characters and, at the end, connects the main characters from all three films. All three films are rated R. 12) La Haine (1995) La Haine examines the tense relationship between a group of poor Parisian immigrant youth and the police, caused in part by their actions and in part by prejudice towards them. The entire film is in black and white. Rated R. Are you a Netflix subscriber? Find the best French movies on Netflix now with our monthly guide to the cream of the streaming crop!

Titration Curves Online Physics Tutors Tutorpace

Titration Curves Online Physics Tutors Tutorpace Titration is a chemistry laboratory method useful for finding the concentration of the unknown acid or unknown base.The experiment is properly analyzed in the form of graphs, and such graphs are known as titration curves. For an acid-base reaction, titration curves are graphed by taking the volume of the titrant (usually the base) on the X-axis and the pH of the solution on the Y-axis. These titration curves help us estimate the equivalence point which is the point where all of the acid has been neutralized by the titrant. Equivalence point is the point where just an enough base is added to get the acid neutralized. The equivalence point for a strong acid-strong base reaction is at pH= 7. Example 2: Graph the titration curve of a weak acid added to a strong base. When a weak acid is added to a strong base, half-equivalence point is attained, where just an enough base is added for half acid to be converted to conjugate base. The equivalence point is later attained at pH greater than 7. So the equivalence point for a weak acid-strong base is at pH higher than 7.

Shred Guitar Made Easy

Shred Guitar Made Easy Suzy S. So youve purchased the guitar, mastered a few chords, and memorized the note names.   But if your style is more Crazy Train than Your Body is a Wonderland, at some point youre going to need to learn how to shred.   Youll probably find tons of resources on YouTube, but outside of private lessons, its much more fun to have a more interactive practice session. Enter Dave Mustaine: Guitar Prodigy, an app that provides the perfect solution, all for just $9.99 and no extra equipment needed.   Simply plug in your electric guitar, or use the mic with your acoustic guitar, and start playing along with Dave and receiving instant feedback.   Similar to the original Rock Prodigy app, users can watch tutorials, check note and chord names while playing along, and use the in-app guitar tuner. Shredding can be challenging for every guitar player, so the most important thing is to just keep working at it.   But before you start, its wise to prepare yourself with a little real-world advice first.   After all, even Dave Mustaine himself didnt wake up one morning, pick up a guitar and learn everything in just one session.   And as with any instrument, youll need a solid foundation before youll be able to shred guitar like the best of em. Check out Shredaholic.coms tips here: 1. Know your mentors Its important to have heroes, and if you have heroes, then you should be copying them. Do what they do, and see if you can do it a little bit better. Learn to become a total sponge for information and especially for sounds. Study every note, try to stay away from tabs as much as possible, and work to develop your own style based on what you have learned from the greats. Basically, they can give you the skeleton, and you can put the skin on it. 2. Your own style By nurturing your own sense of musical self, it makes the trip a lot easier. This way you can learn to do things your way, which is not a bad thing at all. You’ll develop your own tricks, learn new ways of producing notes, develop your own takes on technique, learn to express yourself better, and finding your own voice makes practicing a lot more fun. 3. The knowledge of practice could be its own college course â€" become a student of it! Practice is very important, but knowing how, what and when to practice is a big piece of the puzzle. There is almost an artistic science to training to learn how to shred guitar.   Instead of just going in blind, take a break and really think about what you could do to make real progress. A lot of people say “how am I supposed to know that?”, but if you really just let the ideas flow into your mind, you’ll get it, and here’s how… 4. The game plan You’ve got to have a game plan and you’ve got to stick to it. Define on a piece of paper what it is that you wish to accomplish, and there is your blue print. Now you can develop a sub-plan with specific actions, like what you need to work on in terms of picking, or left hand strength, or arpeggios, chords, theory â€" whatever! Take one of those things, whether it be a mental problem or a physical issue that you need to resolve, and find a couple of mental or physical exercises to focus on. Focus is key, because you’ve got to stick it out with your sweeps, tapping, and general training. 5. Listen to ALL types of music This is one of the biggest disciplinary problems that people have when learning how to shred guitar. Suck it up and listen to music from the farthest reaches of the universe, because when you do so â€" you start to absorb the vibrations, and then your body kind of aligns with the time signatures, rhythms, accents, nuances, and techniques. It can take some time, but over time â€" you become a very free player, and it doesn’t matter what your genre of choice is, you will be a more creative player. Remember, learning how to shred guitar isn’t just about playing fast, its also about becoming virtuosic, and developing killer licks. Keep practicing, and before you know it, youll become the guitar master we know you can be.   What other tips are important to consider before learning to shred? Leave a comment below!

Learning Different Chinese Languages

Learning Different Chinese Languages Why Should You Learn the Different Chinese Languages? ChaptersBetter Understanding the CountryStudying Chinese Languages Allows You to Travel BetterLearning Chinese Languages, an Impressive Linguistic Achievement“The limits of my language means the limits of my world.” - Ludwig WittgensteinIt’s a fact that most languages have dialects and Chinese is no exception. However, Chinese isn't even a single language but rather a number of related languages that belong to the Sino Tibetan language family. This means that you can't actually learn Chinese but you can learn one of the Chinese languages.In fact, there are different languages spoken in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the Sichuan Province. There are plenty of different Chinese languages, dialects, and regional variants.For example, in Taiwan, Min Chinese and Hakka are spoken. These two languages, neither of which are official languages, are hugely important where they’re spoken.A survey reveals that 15% of the Hakka community can’t speak the Hakka language and 24% of Taiwa nese people under 30 only use Mandarin in their daily lives. These languages are far too important to be allowed to peter out.So what are the best reasons for learning a Chinese language other than Mandarin?In this article, we’re going to look at some pretty good reasons to choose not to learn Chinese Mandarin and take your language learning elsewhere.

Knowing how to speak fluently or even just hold a conversation will always help you learn more about where you are. By speaking Mandarin and the local language, you can also learn far more about the culture of where you are in China.After just a few private tutorials, you can learn about different Chinese languages, and not just Mandarin! (Source: Free-Photos)Whether you’re travelling to China or not, it’s still a good idea to learn one of these languages to just learn more about the country itself. You can learn about traditions, local variants, and the country’s identity. With several languages spoken across the country, it’s down to the student to decide which language to learn in order to get by when they’re there.Learning a language will also help you with Chinese writing. Whether you take Chinese lessons, China is a country with a rich culture and history of which writing is a big part. Learning one of these languages will also help you to see China in a different light.Chinese calligraphy and writing is just one part of Chinese culture. The other languages and their vocabulary are another side of the same coin. Of all the languages around the world, the Chinese languages are some of the best for understanding the country where they’re spoken, especially if you’re planning on travelling or studying there.Studying Chinese Languages Allows You to Travel BetterOnce you’ve learnt the pronunciation, phonetics, and writing, for example, you’ll probably want to start thinking about travelling to China. This is one of the biggest advantages of learning a Chinese language, being able to speak Cantonese, for example, with locals in Hong Kong, or getting to know more about a particular region by speaking to its inhabitants in their mother tongue.Travelling around China is a great way to learn more about Chinese and Asian culture. However, learning local Chinese languages are a gr eat way to completely integrate yourself into local culture! (Source: huweijie07170)Getting to know people living in Shanghai or visiting the Great Wall of China is much better when you can speak to the people in their local language. Even though most people in China speak Mandarin Chinese, locals are much happier to speak to you in their mother tongue.This is what travelling is all about, after all. The best thing about travelling is going without a dictionary and speaking to the locals and learning about their culture from the source. To get the most out of travelling, you need to prepare for your trip, which includes learning the language spoken there.Language is a fundamental part of a culture, people, and their traditions, and if you want to fully immerse yourself in China, you need to really learn more about the languages that are  spoken there. So you should probably start looking at ways to learn these languages. You could choose an intensive course, online lessons, or priva te tutorials, etc.If you want to travel in a different way, you’re going to have to learn Mandarin Chinese as well as one other Chinese language. You’ll also get a taste for discovery, discussion, and feed your curiosity. While learning a Chinese language such as the Wu dialect, is a great way to learn about the local culture, learning a language is an impressive achievement in itself.Learning Chinese Languages, an Impressive Linguistic AchievementAs a learner, you’re going to need to be patient and motivated in order to learn a foreign language, especially one that isn’t as widely spoken. After all, some of these Chinese languages are spoken in a very small part of the world, albeit by staggering numbers of people.Learning other Chinese languages will be very useful when you travel to certain parts of the world. (Source: MonikaP)That said, learning these languages will also teach you more about languages in general and teach you more about certain words used all over China. This means that some of these languages may even help you to learn Mandarin Chinese.So are these languages similar to Mandarin Chinese? Is the official language of China written in the same way, etc?To quickly learn a language without the help of a bilingual dictionary, there’s nothing better than immersion.  Almost everyone agrees that in order to get better at a language, you need to practise. The best way to practise a language regularly is to go to where the language is spoken. In the case of Chinese languages, you’ll have to go to the regions where they’re spoken.  You’ll soon see just how rich the local culture is once you start exploring it in its own language. Wouldn’t surrounding yourself with the language you want to learn be much better?Learn Chinese Languages to Stand OutOnce you’ve decided which Chinese language to learn, perhaps the Fujian region Min Chinese, some parts of your life will be exactly the same while others will take on a different shape.How s o?Being able to speak an uncommon language could become a huge advantage in terms of your professional life.Whether you want to travel, take a language course, or live and work in China, you need to study the right language! (Source: pixel2013)For example, before the interview stage, an employer may have seen tonnes of CVs with English, Spanish, French, German, and maybe even Mandarin. They probably won’t have seen many applicants with a local Chinese language.This is one of the biggest advantages of learning any uncommon language, helping you stand out from the crowd. Furthermore, they can also make you more interesting. Of course, you’ll probably have an interesting story or two to tell about learning the language and travelling in China.A language can make one region inherently more interesting than another, especially if you go there to learn that particular language, make friends, study, or work. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to go to just one!You probably get the idea that China is a vast country with a broad and varied culture, history, and linguistic landscape that’s worth exploring. Even just having a grasp of the grammar, knowing a few conversational phrases will go a long way to helping you chat with native speakers.Don't forget that when you learn to speak a new language, it can make learning subsequent languages easier. This means that if you learn to speak Chinese or another dialect or language, the language skills you pick up will help you during your next language courses or when studying a different language and culture.In short, while you learn Mandarin London online, in Chinese classes, or with a Chinese private tutor is a good idea, it doesn't have to be the first Chinese language you learn, especially if you're not planning on going to mainland China or you're travelling off the beaten path!If you're struggling to find resources for learning how to speak one of the less common languages from China, you should consider looki ng for specialised private Chinese tutors in the languages you're trying to learn.If you can't find any tutors near you, don't forget that you can get online private tutorials.  If you've got a computer with a webcam, microphone, and decent internet connection, you can get private tutorials from tutors from anywhere in the world over Skype, for example.If you're ready to start learning a Chinese language, check out the tutors available on Superprof!

English Adjectives to Describe Places - Intermediate Level English

English Adjectives to Describe Places - Intermediate Level English We all like to travel and  city breaks  (short holidays)  to foreign cities are very popular. A lot of my travelling is in Europe and it always amazes me how cities differ from country to country. The following are English adjectives to describe places. So when you are next travelling,  try and put your destination in to one of these categories. English Adjectives to Describe Places Many cities can be described as beautiful or interesting but it does not tell us the truth about that city. The following English words can be used to give a more detailed description.TOURISTYWe have all visited this type of city. Full of gift shops and tourist buses. It is not necessarily a negative but we may not like cities that are too busy and often the prices in cafes and restaurants are inflated  (high).COSMOPOLITANThere are many different dictionary meanings to this word. It can mean sophisticated and free from national prejudice. So it may be difficult to find a true cosmopolitan city anywhere! However,  it is simplest definition it is a city that has sophistication and is occupied and visited by people from all nationalities. London would be such a city.QUAINTThis word usually describes something or somebody as interestingly old fashioned or odd. We could used this word to describe the small old cities that have avoided or escaped any real modernisation and still have the o ld features of previous centuries.The old centre of Tallinn in Estonia is such a city.MEDIEVALThis certainly indicates a city with the charm of an ancient city with the spirit of the middle ages.  Old ramparts  (castle walls)  and wooden buildings. There are not so many cities remaining like this but some cities in part still retain these old features. I think Carcassonne in South West France is an ideal example of a city with beautiful medieval fortresses. English Adjectives to Describe Places - Infographic Enjoyed this infographic? Here’s what you can do next: CONTEMPORARYSuch cities are easy to find. Modern re-building and renovations often give these type of cities a similar look and feel and can lose their uniqueness (individuality). However, there can be a beauty about these cities in terms of the high skyscrapers and glass buildings that are an all too often feature of these cities. Although I havent yet visited it myself I would believe the city of Brasilia in Brazil fits the bill  (ideal example) as it was purpose built to contain all the presidential and government offices. It was built from scratch  (from nothing).Without describing the architecture or the historic nature of a city we can still find appropriate adjectives to describe other cities that we visit.For example,  a  LIVELY  city  is a city full of life, lots of activities both during the day and at night. Some cities take on a different appearance in the evening with street cafes, bars and other  night life activities  (clubs and discos). I would describe Dublin the cap ital of Ireland as that type of city.A  BUSTLINGcity is one full of people, trade and business which is active all day. Street markets noisy traffic and people everywhere. This describes many Asian cities and pictures of busy cities in India like Calcutta come to mind as I am writing this. It is hard to find a city that has been  UNSPOILED (escaped change) by recent modern developments and still  retains  (keeps)  its old world charms.  However,  we usually use such a word to describe parts of the nature or forests or parks near our cities.Older cities  full of old world charm  (no high rise buildings)  are often recognized by the  narrow, meandering  streets (long narrow streets going from left to right in gentle curves) and  rambling lanes  (small streets that last for ever!).So the next time you have a holiday or a take a short trip discover what type of city you are visiting!!
