Surviving The Holiday Travel Rush By now, I think most of us have seen the movie PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES, with Steve Martin as an ad executive doing his best to get back home in time for the holidays, who keeps getting stuck with the most obnoxious traveling companion anyone could imagine, in the person of traveling salesman John Candy. The movie is an exercise in bad luck, chronicling pretty much every travel nightmare you can imagine. It's a very funny movie, and worth a look each Thanksgiving, but with holiday season 2010 upon us, I'm sure most of us want to do everything we can to avoid art imitating life.If you are going to be traveling for the holidays, it is important to have your plan made ahead of time.

The first two things to clarify about why it's sometimes boring to learn French in the classroom are that it's not your teacher's fault and that it's not because French is a boring language. In fact, every language spoken is capable of expressing the full range of human emotions and should be a lot of fun to learn. French in the classroom can be a lot of fun, provided that you have the right materials. The key is not to bore students by turning an entire language into one that becomes drudgery in their minds.The human factor is what makes it fun to learn French in the classroom. When people hear a language spoken by people in a real situation, they'll naturally start to try to understand this. It doesn't matter if you're 8 or 80, you have a natural instinct to try to understand people when they speak. If you don't know the language, your brain will immediately start locking onto cues such as tone of voice and context. It will also start trying to find recognizable patterns among the words being spoken. Sometimes, it succeeds. Words in French and English that sound almost identical are called cognates, and there are many of...more
