Symbol For Frequency in Chemistry
Symbol For Frequency in ChemistryThe symbol for frequency in chemistry is a design used to represent different chemicals in a chemical symbol. It uses the linear equation format and the formula is all one line of text. Since this is a formula used in many chemistry equations the symbol for frequency is the formula used in the symbols for similar compounds.The symbol for frequency in chemistry is important because it can be used to determine the amount of energy in the molecule. Molecules with the same molecular structure tend to have similar frequencies, which can help a chemist find what element the chemical is made up of. This is useful in many ways for a chemist.Frequency is different from kinetic energy and this is important to understand. Kinetic energy is what is used to move a material. Energy that is used to change an object from one state to another. The molecule itself is a form of kinetic energy.The symbol for frequency in chemistry is a linear equation used to represent m olecules and reactions that happen in these objects. The formula in this symbol is taken from basic physics. The symbols for the properties of the molecule are often used as symbols for elements.An electric charge is the energy of an atom. There are many symbols for an electric charge. These symbols can show the electric charge of a particular atom or a series of atoms. The symbols can also show the electric charge of a charge.Currents are the movement of electrons in an atom or a molecule. The symbols for currents are most often represented by the symbols for electric charges. There are many symbols for currents and many are used to represent an electric charge in the symbols for a particular atom or a particular molecule.Magnetism is one of the properties of atoms and molecules. In chemistry the symbol for magnetism is used to represent the properties of an atom or a molecule. This symbol is found in the symbols for certain types of atoms or molecules and even when the symbols are used to represent the molecules in a chemical reaction.Magnetism is something that we can't see. We can see the movement of an electron, but there is no magnetism directly involved in a chemical reaction. However, the fact that there is no physical magnetism in a chemical reaction can be proven by the symbols for the symbols in a chemical equation. This is why the symbol for frequency in chemistry is important to the chemist.

A Whole New World 10 Obscure Languages from Around the Globe
A Whole New World 10 Obscure Languages from Around the Globe A Whole New World: 10 Obscure Languages from Around the Globe Europe has close to 100. The United States, over 300. Africa, nearly 2000.Were talking about spoken languages.From the indigenous to the transposed, the spoken wordâ"or spoken sound, well get to that later onâ"is vast. Its fluid. Languages take on a life of their own. Theyre born, they change and sometimes they die.People move all over the world for new experiences and opportunities. Yet, despite this yearning for the something different, people tend to hold their native tongue close to the heart. Why? Its simple. Our native language represents a large part of our cultural, national and personal identities.Its only natural that we want to preserve it for the next generation and generations to come. Just think, its believed that New York City, a major diversity hub, is home to over 800 languages. Thats nearly twice the amount of the entire United States. Not everyone has heard of many of these languages, but it goes to show the power of preservation. No matter where we are in the world, we want to keep our language alive.Unfortunately, thats not always possible.Despite the worlds rich linguistic panoply, there are hundreds of languages that are endangered and extinct, in large part due to globalizationâ"which, while okay in many other instances, doesnt do any favors for endangered languagesâ"but also war, genocide and the imposition of national languages. Assimilation is another big contributor. Sometimes the desire to simply fit in causes people to forgo their native language and adopt the one thats more commonly spoken in their region of the world.Theres actually one tiny concession that globalization makes for the world of linguistics. It opens the door to opportunity. As the world gets smaller and smaller, our individual worlds actually get bigger. Were now able to seek out information and answers and make discoveries. Who knows how many languages the world has lost over the course of human existence? At least now, we have the opportunity t o try to preserve those that are on their way out. Of course, many will still be lost, but now we have the ability to identify them, acknowledge that they once existed and possibly learn new things in the process.The obscure, the unknown and the untouched all amount to excitement, possibility, creativity and beyond. Lets expand our minds. Lets take a peek into the hidden corners of our planet. You never know what you might find. A Whole New World: 10 Obscure Languages from Around the GlobeXhosaRegion: South Africa Approximate Number of Native Speakers: 8 millionOf its 11 official languages, Xhosa, part of the Bantu family, is one of the most commonly spoken in South Africa. It was also the native language of Nelson Mandela! With 8 million speakers, it may seem like Xhosa is thriving, and technically speaking, it is. However, in a linguistic sense, 8 million is a small number. To put it into perspective, Mandarin has over 900 millionâ"thats almost one billionâ"native spea kers. So by comparison, 8 million is blip on the language radar.The language itself is uniquely characterized by clicks and tonal variations to differentiate the meaning of words. A single word could have several meanings just based on tone. The clicks, however, are by far the most interesting part of this language. Theyre represented by the letters c, x and q. There are three different kinds of clicks: dental for c (tut-tut sound), alveolar for q (cork popping sound) and lateral for x (teeth sucking sound). And to make things harder, each of these clicks have several variations.Here, try to say ugqirha (doctor) using the appropriate click. Or try even saying Xhosa properly. Not so easy is it? Many non-native speakers find this language quite difficult to master so dont feel bad.In any case, if you want to hear a sample of the fascinating sounds of Xhosa, click here.BelarusianRegion: Belarus Approximate Number of Native Speakers: 3 millionThis is an Eastern Slavic language with a close relation to Russian and Ukrainian. To some extent the languages are mutually intelligible. Still in the millions, theres a fair amount of speakers in the world. However, 3 million is less than half of the population of London, so the language is really spoken on quite a small scale.Russian colonization is the main cause. Many Belarusians speak fluent Russian, although the reverse isnt true. In fact, Russian is so common in Belarus that an overwhelming majority of Belarusians choose to speak Russian in their day-to-day lives as opposed to Belarusian.The language itself has got 6 vowels, up to 48 consonants and up to 54 phonemes (English has 44). Its written in the Cyrillic alphabet (also used by other Slavic languages such as Russian and Serbian), but its also been written with Latin, Arabic and Hebrew script. There are also two main dialects which can be found in the northeast and the southwest. Until the early 1900s, there was really no standardized grammar. Then , finally, amidst of some political unrest, Cyrillic became the only alphabet used for official writing.Despite its turbulent past, Belarusian still perseveres. In recent years, there has been an increase in public support to make the language a larger part of the cultural identity. Lets hope that support continues to grow.In the meantime, please enjoy this Belarusian rap.Silbo GomeroRegion: La Gomera, Canary Islands Approximate Number of Native Speakers: 22,000Who needs consonants, nouns, verbs and letters? The people of La Gomera Island certainly dont. On this lovely island off the coast of Spain, the inhabitants have transformed the Spanish language so that it can be communicated through whistles. Thats right, this is a whistle language.The people of this tiny patch of land speak Spanishâ"Canarian Spanish, that isâ"but they take great pride in Silbo Gomero. Once on the verge of extinction, there was a revival in the late 90s, and teaching it in schools on the island has b een required since 1999. It was even added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2009.The language is communicated over large valleys and ravines in this mountainous region. This is because words get jumbled and distorted over long distances. Just recall a time when someone has tried to shout to you from far away. Our first response is typically Huh?! or What?! and the other person has to repeat themselves several times for the message to come across. Whistling, however, can transmit with perfect clarity for up to three miles (five kilometers).Silbo Gomero replaces the five vowels in Spanish with two tones where i is the highest pitch and o is the lowest pitch, and the other vowels fall in the middle. The consonants, however, are represented by dropping from high to low pitch, low to high pitch, breaks, steadiness and volume. For the untrained ear, all of this just sounds like a lovely melody, but for the people in La Gomera the s ounds are as distinct as the letters and words on this page.Want to get a sense of how it works? Click the link above, and then check out this fun little video.RotokasRegion: Bougainville, Papua New Guinea Approximate Number of Native Speakers: 4,000This is considered to be one of the simplest of the known languages, trailing only behind Pirahã (see below). The language has a mere 12 letters and 11 phonemes (t and s are the same sound). Vowels have a long and short counterpart, but there are no real tonal distinctions in their speech. It has three dialects which are: Central Rotokas, Aita Rotokas and Pipipaia.One unique bit about this language is that it doesnt use nasal tones. Actually, it does, but only when speakers are making fun of foreigners who attempt to speak Rotokas. How about that? If youre unsure of when we use nasal tones in our own speech, refer to the letter n. Its very nasal. Its probably most apparent when you have a cold, but say n right now and hold it. You should feel a vibration right in the bridge of your nose. This particular form of speech is so second nature to us that we dont even notice it, and apparently, we incorporate it into a language that doesnt even use it.Now, just for fun, try saying n without the nasal component. I suggest you go in a room and close the door, because it gets really weird really fast.When youre done with that, heres taste of some real life Rotokas.MichifRegion: United States and Canada Approximate Number of Native Speakers: less than 1000Heres where the numbers start to reach a critical low. This is classified as an impossible language.Michif is the language of the Metis people who are descendants of European fur traders, and located in certain regions of Canada and small pockets of North Dakota. Its a combination of Cree, an Algonquian language, and French, and its believed to have been created out of a desire for a cultural identity. Although Michif is a product of both Cree and French, most Mi chif speakers arent fluent in either language.Conceptually, Michif is quite simple. It combines French nouns and Cree verbs. Linguistic scholars tear their hair out over this. According to these scholars, its impossible that these two very different languages, one being a Romance language, and the other being a polysynthetic language could possibly work together. Sure, opposites attract, but this goes beyond an odd couple scenario. Cree is to French as apples are tofax machines. The language breaks all the laws of linguistics and doesnt fall into any real classification. There are even linguists who wont acknowledge that the language exists.But it does.Lets take a look at the phrase those men. In French you say ces hommes-là . In Cree you say neekik nâpêwak. In Michif, a combination of the two, you say neekik lii zom. While it may look like gibberish, the last two words (lii zom) when said out loud should be quite recognizable to even a novice French speaker. So really , it does work, and its quite cool and interesting. If you speak French (and even if you dont), give it a shot, say it out loud.Also, to the linguistic scholars out there who still dont believe: Rules were meant to be broken, and we conquer the impossible every day. Try to not trouble yourself too much over this. Humans are just badass. What can we say? Its the world we live in, and its pretty awesome.Anyway, how about it Francophiles? Can you pick out any familiar words?ArchiRegion: Archib, RussiaApproximate Number of Native Speakers: 970This is a Northeast Caucasian language spoken throughout seven small villages of Archib in Dagestan, Russia. This is one of the most complex languages on the list. Until recently, there was no written form of Archi, but once again Cyrillic characters have come to save the day.The Archi language certainly likes to keep things interesting. The alphabet consists of 26 vowel phonemes and a modest 74 to 82 consonants. Also, rather than two noun cla sses like in many of the languages that were familiar with, masculine and feminine, Archi has four. It has 150 phonemes, and if you think thats a lot, its believed that a single verb can have over 1.5 million forms. Somehow that stereotype that English is one of the hardest languages to learn seems to be quickly falling by the wayside. Archi will leave you sprinting to the nearest Mandarin course for a taste of something simpler.Heres what this endangered language sounds like.KoroRegion: Northeast India Approximate Number of Native Speakers: 800Koro was discovered by linguists in recent years during the mid-2000s. It brought the number of known global languages to 6,909. Koro is in the Tibeto-Burman language family, which consists of 400 other languages, 150 of which are spoken in India. Koro, however, appears to be unto a world of its own, as its only very distantly related to its linguistic contemporaries. Researchers have found that Koro is as distinct from its neighboring l anguages as Greek is from Vietnamese.The main difference between Koro and its related languages is that its comprised of different sounds. For example, in the neighboring language Aka, the word for pig is vo, and in Koro its lele. Researchers believe that the language may have come from a group of people who were enslaved in the region. For these people, Koro isnt just communication, but its strongly linked to the valley in which this small village is situated. It encompasses everything known about the region and the secrets of their own survival. If this language were to become extinct, the world wouldnt just be losing a language, but a race of people would be losing a major part of their heritage.You can get a sample of what researchers discovered about Koro in this video from National Geographic.PirahãRegion: Amazon Rainforest, Brazil Approximate Number of Native Speakers: 380Were now deep in the Amazon.Pirahã is the only surviving dialect of the Mura languages. Although it has so few speakers, theres actually no immediate threat to its extinction. The Pirahã community is largely monolingual, so theres no concern that the language will be phased out like many of the others in the region that were replaced by Portuguese. The Pirahã have had limited interaction with the outside world except for the extensive research by Dr. Daniel Everett.With only 10-12 phonemes, which consists of 7 consonants and 3 vowels, its considered the simplest language in the world. For the women in the community, its even simpler. They use one less consonant than the men. Whats most interesting about this language is that its largely conceptual. There are no fixed words for numbers and colors. The words hói and hoÃ, when said in different tones, roughly mean small quantity and large quantity. With no fixed terms for colors rather than saying that something is green, they may say something along the lines of It looks like grass.The Pirahã language focuses on the pre sent. As a culture, the people dont concern themselves with the past. If they dont see something, then it doesnt exist. For example, if a bird was on a tree and then flew away to another tree, the Pirahã would say that the bird is xibipio (gone out of existence). Although the language is technically simple, the culture and psychology are so deeply connected that it takes something like the extensive research of Dr. Everett to really get a grasp of this unique language and culture.Heres a little piece of it.AyapanecoRegion: Tabasco, Mexico Approximate Number of Native Speakers: 2This centuries-old language is nearly extinct. It was once a minority language spoken regularly throughout the region, but began to die out on account of the passage of time, modernization, and the widespread use of Spanish. Ayapaneco survived wars and natural disasters and now its down to its last legs. There are only two people who actually speak it.Whats interesting is that for many years, the l ast two speakers, Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez, would not speak to each other. Whether there was a falling out or it was just due to the limitations of old age, no one is really sure. However, for quite some time, with the two men refusing to speak Ayapaneco, it was like the language had actually died. Luckily, within the last two years, Manuel and Isidro called for a revival and decided that they would teach the language to anyone who wanted to learn. Now theres a strong movement in the region to keep the language alive.Well be rooting for your survival, Ayapaneco. For now, you can watch how the pros do it.SentineleseRegion: North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal Approximate Number of Native Speakers: UnknownTheres one thing that makes Sentinelese stand out from all of the other languages on this list. No one has ever heard it.That is, no one apart from the native speakers themselves.The small North Sentinel Island, just a touch larger than the island of Manhattan, ho uses an isolated tribe of people who arent too keen on foreign relations. Basically, if you get too close theyll shoot an arrow through you. Anthropologist Trilokinath Pandit is the only person to have made contact with the Sentinelese without having been severely wounded or killed.The only information on this language, obtained from very scant observations, is that the Sentinelese greet each other in a two-toned system; but even this little bit of intelligence isnt reliable. Since no one has been able to study them extensively, these sounds could have been misinterpreted as greetings. Its thought that the language may have some similarities to the surrounding Andamanese tribes, but no one can be sure. All we know is that this is an unyielding bunchâ"they managed to survive the 2004 tsunamiâ"who dont want anything to do with outsiders.If youre really keen on hearing what are sure to be the mellifluous musings of the Sentinelese people, maybe you can make history. Wed love s ome more data for this post. Youll have to try, with an emphasis on try, to sneak onto the island by way or raft or canoe. Theyve been known to shoot at helicopters, planes and boats. If you manage to make it onto the island unscathed, you wont have to go searching. Theyll find you. See if theyd be up for a chat. Let us know what comes of it. Good luck.Dont go anywhere just yet. Theres one more language, albeit an unconventional one, that deserves a spot on this list of the obscure.*Bonus: KlingonRegion of the World: Anywhere that there are hardcore Star Trek fans Approximate Number of Fluent Speakers: 30Now, let us boldly go where no man has gone before. Okay, well, maybe some have gone there, but Klingon doesnt typically end up on these kinds of lists. That may be because of the small issue that it isnt technically a real language. Klingon was created for the Star Trek series, spoken by the aliens from the planet Kronos. It was turned into a full on language by linguist M ark Okrand.With only 3,000 words, its difficult to have any meaningful conversations in Klingon, especially since many of the words are centered on things like intergalactic wars, spacecrafts and other such things we generally dont discuss most days of the week. Speakers have to be very creative when trying to express themselves. For example, something as simple as how are you? becomes bIpIva (are you healthy?), and cheers becomes IwlIj jachjaj (may your blood scream). Apparently, there are about 30 people in the world who dont mind the trouble. There was even a man who tried to raise his son on the language.Though Star Trek is clamoring to remain relevant as Marvel dominates the nerdiverseâ"not to mention the Star Wars sagaâ"Klingon is perhaps in less danger of extinction than Xhosa despite being short 7,999,970 fluent speakers. There are thousands who can just get by in Klingon and even more who know a word or two here and there. Trekkies of the world are both faithful and vigilant. As long as Star Trek conventions continue to grace major cities, Klingon is sure to continue touching fans of generations past, present and future. And the Klingon Language Institute will see to it. So will Duolingo. Yup, you read that correctly. The popular language learning website plans to launch a beta Klingon course this coming December.We know youre all holding your breath in anticipation.While you anxiously await the big day, here are some words of wisdom from Americas favorite genius.Our journey around the globe has come to an end. Hopefully, it has inspired you to learn something different and new. Maybe you can even challenge yourself to actually learn one of these tough languages, at least the ones that are accessible.Youll certainly be the center of happy hour if you suddenly drop some fluent Rotokas on your colleagues; just be sure to apply the unapologetic wisdom of comedian Kevin Hart, and say it with your chest.Live long and prosper, friends.

A Fun Blues Guitar Exercise to Get You Started
A Fun Blues Guitar Exercise to Get You Started Suzy S. If youre familiar with blues chords and ready to start trying your hand at some riffs, this exercise from guitar teacher Samuel B. will help you get the ball rolling As an instructor (and blues guitar afficionado), Im keen on you developing a working knowledge of the blues. The blues is the musicological basis of all recognizable forms of American music (gospel, contemporary country, soul, rhythm blues, bluegrass, early rock n roll, the list goes on). Therefore, said knowledge will improve your fluidity and integrity regardless of whether or not the blues becomes your supreme element. Its easy to confuse the forms structural simplicity (the same three chords in the same order) with a supposed simplicity inherent to blues guitar. First youll want to learn first-position chords in the key of E (E, A, and B7 the most blues-friendly chords in my experience): E Chord E||| B||| G|O|| D||-O| A||-O| E||| A Chord E||| B||-O| G||-O| D||-O| A||| E||| B7 Chord E||-O| B||| G||-O| D|O|| A||-O| E||| As well, you should practice the blues scale in the key of E (beginning on the 9th fret): E||-O||-O|||-O| B||-O||-O|||-O| G|O|||-O||-O|-O| D|O|||-O||-O|| A||-O||-O|O|-O|| E||-O||-O|||-O| Chords are the basis for rhythm guitar work. Scales are the basis for soloing. These are two completely unrelated elements. The following guitar tab serves as a pedagogical âlubricantâ in between them (a trick I learned while being taught Stevie Ray Vaughans âPride And Joyâ) and will benefit you regarding both your conditioning and your repertoire: E||||||| B||||||| G||||||| D|||5|||| A|||3,7||4,6|| E|0-|1,9||2,8||| (repeat) E||||||| B||||||| G|||5|||| D|||3,7||4,6|| A|0-|1,9||2,8||| E||||||| E||||||| B||||||| G||||||| D|||5|||| A|||3,7||4,6|| E|0-|1,9||2,8||| If yourre familiar with blues guitar already, then you may have deduced that this sequence aligns with the first two-thirds of the twelve-bar blues chord progression. The remaining one-third (the B7th, A, E descent â" one measure per chord) involves one relevant sequence per chord: E|||||| B|||||| G|||||| D|0,3||||| A|0,1|2|||| E|||||| (repeat 3 more times) E|||||| B|||||| G|0,3||||| D|0,1|2|||| A|||||| E|||||| (repeat 2 more times) E|||||||| B|||||||| G|||||||| D|||0,5||||-| A||0,3,8-|||9-|-4,10-|| E|0,2,7-|||1,6-|||-| Once youve learned to play this sequence smoothly, there are several ways to decorate the sequence. Among them are hammer-ons and pull-offs. As suggested by the name, a hammer-on is a single note altered by way of a left (not right) hand fourth-finger addition: ||O-||X| In this case, your index finger is âOâ and your fourth one is âX.â The string is played only once with the right hand, but augmented with an extra note from the left literally hammered on to the vibrating string. You can also produce hammer-ons on open strings with your third finger: O ||X-|| Inversely, pull-offs involve your left hands fourth finger (or third in the case of open strings) releasing a vibrating note: ||X-||O| X ||O-|| Play around with these suggestions and see what works for you. You may develop some tricks of your own. As a teenager, I created a unique warping effect by holding down and bending two strings with one finger. Above all, have fun and dont be afraid to make mistakes! Samuel B. teaches beginner guitar lessons in Austin, TX. He teaches lessons face-to-face without sheet music, which is his adaptation of Japanese instruction (involving a call-and-response method). Learn more about Samuel here!

As such, the longer you spend learning the language at school, the better your grammar and vocabulary will become.You may have been surprised at how easy you found German at GCSE level. Photo credit: Jirka Matousek via Visual Hunt / CC BYIn addition, studies have shown that dyslexic pupils often find it's easier to learn German online than French or Spanish, which could be down to its somewhat logical and intuitive parts of speech.French and Spanish derive from Latin which is a classical language that many Britons are just not in tune with.

Some say that it is the language of a powerful nation that supports its fellow European countries, for instance by keeping the eurozone alive and supporting struggling economies.Germany has even bailed out Spain and Greece during hard times, which means that it plays a big part in keeping some of our favourite holiday spots going strong!Following the war and its own financial crisis, Germany rose from disaster and gained recognition and praise for its excellence in the fields of manufacturing and engineering, while also becoming increasingly well-known for its high-class education system.Curriculum At A GlanceProgressing from the GCSE German course, AS and A Level German are design ed to develop the studentâs confidence in communicating in the language (i.e. across all topics: speaking, listening, reading and writing). The focus that all AS and A Level specifications put upon the various ways of communicating makes more effective communicators of these language pupils.Through the understanding of culture in Germany and other German-speaking countries, students will be motivated to grow more curious about the language and its heritage and thus encourage interest to keep them engaged with lessons.It is this enthusiasm that will enable a language learner to be more proficient and to start to think about broadening their skills either through further education or by embracing opportunities to travel.Some schools or colleges may offer you the chance to visit a German-speaking country or to take part in an exchange programme, both of which will give you an opportunity to excel your language skills.A school trip or exchange can really boost your language skills.

The qualification offered by AQA is linear, which means that students sit their exams at the end of the course. Therefore, pupils will be assessed for the AS Level at the end of Year 12 and for A Level in Year 13.OCRAs with AQA, OCR is currently reforming its qualifications in line with the government programme of general qualification reform. While AQA has developed a new syllabus for German at AS and A Level, OCR has decided not to redevelop this specification and, as such, the final assessment opportunity for these courses (H076 and H476) will be summer 2017 and the re-sits taking place in summer 2018.The purpose of the course is to give candidates a good grounding in all aspects of the language and culture of Germany, with the aim of enhancing speaking, listening, reading and writing skills within German.With just one written assessment and speaking test at each level, the courseâs examination methods are straightforward and cut the burden and stress on pupils. There is no coursework required on this course.EdexcelEdexcel has developed a new accredited specification in German. The newly constructed syllabus includes cultural content designed to engage and inspire students while also offering pupils the chance to read and learn about German Literature to further enhance their languag e skills.As previously mentioned, many AS Level pupils will have completed a GCSE qualification in the language therefore this course supports the progression from GCSE level and encourages students to develop and use the transferrable skills already gained as part of their previous german lessons.WJECWJEC provides an exciting opportunity for German beginners to build on their knowledge of the language through social, intellectual and cultural themes. The course is designed to develop a better understandimg of linguistic properties and to provide a deeper comprehension of the culture of Germany and German-speaking countries.As with the new Edexcel specification, students enrolled on the WJEC German AS and A Level course will be given the opportunity to study literature and film to increase their cultural awareness and with the objective of encouraging fluency in the language.Being taught since 2016, WJEC offers these AS Level and A Level qualifications, which have been accredited by OFQUAL, on the basis that prior learning has taken place in the form of a GCSE or equivalent qualification.Using Past Papers For RevisionAs with GCSE, AS and A Level German exam papers from previous years can be downloaded by going to the dedicated area on your exam boardâs website. While you are very welcome to look at and even attempt past papers from exam boards other than your own, you must remember that your particular exam may not be structured in the same way and therefore could be marked quite differently. Saying that, all revision and practice can be worthwhile.One way to avoid any confusion when it comes to the assessment of your exams is to check the markI got scheme related to your specification. This, along with examinersâ notes and comments, can open your eyes to the types of responses the examiners are looking to see and can allow you to better understand what gains and loses marks in your particular paper.Alternatively, your teacher may offer you a series of pap ers to attempt either in the classroom or at home. If completing past papers at home, you must ensure that you try your hardest to recreate exam conditions, which means no interruptions, no disallowed materials and a strict time limit.The benefit of completing mock exams set by your school or college is that it will force you to get into the right mindset and to approach the revision task more seriously.Career Prospects For German StudentsProspects.co.uk, a top site for students seeking information on careers and opportunities for further study, confirms that modern foreign languages are high in demand and that these skills are sought by most business that trade internationally. Consequently, you may be interested in following up your language course with a degree and even a masters degree.Other career choices that languages like German can offer you are being an Interpreter, a Translator or a Teacher of languages. However, there are various other industries in which German would be useful too.With a language like German, you could open up many career opportunities, including becoming a translator or interpreter. Photo credit: LoS, Traducción e Interpretación via Visual Hunt / CC BYMany language programmes offer the opportunity to travel abroad to study or work, so if you plan on taking a degree in German and benefitting from a year in a German-speaking country, try to find a placement that relates to the career path of your choice for the optimum work experience.This will not only look great on your CV, it will significantly improve your language skills with a stronger emphasis on language in the workplace.On Superprof, you an find German lessons all over the country:Learn German London

Letâs have a look at the size of the academic support market.Pupils from primary school and secondary school can get private tutorials. (Source: StockSnap)The Size of the Private Tutoring MarketThe market is estimated at £6.5bn in the UK. This means there are plenty of tutor jobs available both academically through supplemental instruction and for non-academic subjects like yoga, physical training, arts and crafts, etc.What Percentage of Students Get Private Tutorials?When it comes to academic support, there are 2.8 million pupils getting extra tuition from tutors. To better understand this figure, there are a total of 11.7 million pupils in primary, secondary , post-secondary education in England. This basically means that almost a quarter of pupils in the UK get extra tuition.Since private tutors cost money, extra tuition is more common among middle and upper-class families. However, with the market growing, there are more opportunities for working-class families to also get academic support.Useful Information for Parents Interested in Private TutorialsMost students getting private tutorials are those studying exams like GCSEs and A Levels. The market has been growing for years. In fact, there was a big boom in the market in 2016 and over 40% of students in London were getting private tutorials. However, this highlighted an inequality in education.Tutors are commonly contacted at the start of the academic year and in March as students approach the end of year exams. There are tutors for a plethora of different subjects all over the UK. There are over 5 million tutors on Superprof from all over the world. Commonly taught subjects includ e:Maths (algebra, calculus, trigonometry, etc.)Sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.)Languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Russian, etc.)Study skills and exam and test prep (GCSE, A Levels, degree mentoring, etc.)Thereâs no single type of tutor, either. There are students, retired teachers, and those who tutor full time. There are also tutors who offer non-academic tutorials such as yoga and arts and crafts.The Key Players for Academic SupportWhen it comes to academic support, there are several big players vying for the top spot in the market (or just to find customers).Academic support platforms help tutors find students and vice versa. (Source: rawpixel)There are general tutoring companies and specialist tutoring companies. The best known are:UK TutorsTutorfulTutorhuntFirst TutorsTutorhouseSuperprofThe biggest players donât actually make up that much of the market. Similarly, with tutors not declaring their earnings, thereâs a shadow economy surroundi ng the academic support market which can make calculating its true size quite difficult. That said, it has become more cost-effective for tutors to declare their earnings, pay tax, and make their national insurance contributions.In recent years, the big players have seen their growth slow through increased competition. However, the market itself is still growing steadily.A lot of these are pure players (businesses that exist solely online) which offer services such as online lessons and resources that can be accessed at any time. Now there are more platforms that allow users to freely choose their tutors.This is the model adopted by Superprof that allows people looking for academic support tutorials to search for a private tutor by subject and location and then get in touch with tutors from anywhere in the world. It doesnât matter where you are in the UK or what your budget is as there are plenty of tutors all over the company. Our goal is to provide healthy competition so tha t private tutorials are affordable for everyone. Itâs never been easier to find a private tutor.Why Are Parents Getting in Touch with Private Tutors?Parents and pupils have plenty of reasons for getting in touch with private tutors. Whether they need help with maths, are struggling with science, or would like better results in foreign language classes, tutors can help.Academic Support for Struggling StudentsWhen parents or teachers first realise that a pupil is struggling, they often decide to get in touch with an academic advisor or counsellor. In this case, the tutor will have a look at why the studentâs grades are dipping.Theyâll act as both an academic coach and a teacher and help the student find effective ways to learn and improve their academic performance.Academic Support Can Improve Exam ResultsStudents are sometimes really good at certain subjects but struggle in others. Generally, we group the humanities together (English, German, French, philosophy, history, etc.) and the sciences (maths, physics, chemistry, biology, etc.).Private tutorials are a great way to improve exam results. (Source: ken19991210)Even pupils who tend to be good at every subject may have one or two subjects that they could get some help with.Academic Support for Getting Great ResultsEvery parent wants the best future for their children. Academic support is great for helping children achieve good results. Even for students that excel in school, the help of a private tutor can get the most out of their study and ensure that they always have top grades. Whether theyâre at primary school, secondary school, college, or university, academic support tutorials are great for the best and brightest.Academic Support for Catching UpSome pupils have parents that move a lot. Sometimes students can miss a lot of class through illness, for example.Life is full of ups and downs and private tutors can help students whoâve missed a lot of class to catch up with their studies.Academic Support for Helping ParentsSometimes parents have to leave early in the morning and donât get back from work until late in the evening. An academic support tutor could help parents in a number of ways. For example:Looking after childrenHelping them with homeworkEnsuring theyâve understood their lessons from schoolAssisting the student throughout schoolOf course, this will vary depending on the studentâs age.Find out more about private tutoring websites.Current Trends in the Academic Support MarketThe academic support market is democratising.What does this mean?Basically, the big players are seeing their growth slow. This is partly due to other actors offering their services online. The arrival of platforms connecting tutors to students (just like ours) has affected the growth of traditional tutoring companies.Private tutorials can help you achieve your goals. (Source: danfador)By putting tutors in touch with students, these platforms have completely changed the offering. S tudents donât need to go to a company anymore if they want a private tutor. With Superprof, for example, youâll pay only when you find the tutor you want. After that, youâll contact the tutor directly.Democratisation means that anyone can become an entrepreneur and offer a service, sell a product, or teach, for example. The internet has changed the offering in this sector. The academic support market is doing well. Furthermore, working cash-in-hand is no longer cost-effective.The internet has led to a dynamic and competitive market. The ability to create a business or company and start offering private tutorials has helped aspiring tutors achieve success without taking too many risks. You can bet that more and more tutors are going to start working for themselves and use these types of tutoring platforms even more in the future.Similarly, in schools around the country, teachers are trying to provide more bespoke teaching approaches to students. Whether you're offering o nline tutoring services or home tutoring, you need to make sure you offer bespoke instruction if you want to be a success and get more tutoring jobs.When students want to find a tutor, they want someone who'll help them achieve academic success. The main difference between one on one tutoring and learning in school is that with academic tutoring, you're usually the only student. Unlike in school where the teacher is tasked with providing general instruction to a number of students, tutors are expected to tailor their lessons to each individual student.Whether you're an online tutor, chemistry tutor, English tutor, study skills tutor, reading tutor, French tutor, etc., you need to make sure that each tutee feels their time spent with you is worthwhile. The best tutors will also offer free tutoring for the first hour so they can be sure that they get along with the student and feel confident in their ability to provide quality tuition to each learner.If you provide a quality service a nd take pride in your work, you'll find that it's quite easy to become a tutor. In fact, you don't even need to be a certified teacher!
