Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Handy Hints for Learning German

By Alexander Barraud


Learning to speak German isn't as difficult as many think. The truth is that we all have the ability to learn other languages. Learning which method of learning is best for you is the hardest part. Every person learns a new language in his or her own way. Learning the details of a new language comes naturally for some while others still have a hard time picking it up. Make learning German easier for you with the following tips and tricks.

Find a friend or get to know someone who knows how to speak German fluently to help you learn German. Working with a person who understands the language intuitively will help you learn your language correctly. Learning from a fluent speaker who is a friend is also a good idea because he or she will be someone you will feel comfortable around so you won't be afraid of making mistakes or trying new things. That's not to mention the fact that your friend will be a great teacher because you'll have a blast while you're learning. When you learn from a friend, you know that friend will be familiar with how you learn the best and that can help them come up with the perfect German lesson plan for you.

Do you have the money to discover an option for completely immersing yourself in German? Some people learn their best by just being thrown into it. One of the greatest techniques for getting this to happen is to travel to a country where German (of the language you are trying to learn) is the most widespread language and your first language is not very common. This presses you into finding out how to talk with people you come into contact with and it presses you into learning German as it is used in everyday life. Not everybody is successful with immersion. Nevertheless, some people learn that it is the only way they can actually learn how to speak in a second language.

Perhaps there is a town near you comprised of many German speakers. You may find that going to a town like that often will help you. This is the best way to immerse yourself with other German speakers while also remaining close to home in case you feel you are in over your head. Neighborhoods like these are great because the people who live and work in them use German the way it would be used in Germany (or any other country in which German is the main language). There is a vast difference between text book German and the German you'll encounter on your travels to Germany. If you learn German this way, the next time you visit a German speaking country you'll feel it easier to use your new language skills.

You can learn German in a number of ways and some of these ways make it simple. Don't get too fed up with it. Learning a new language can be one of the hardest things you'll ever attempt! As long as you do a little bit each day, and you put in the work that's required to learn a new language, you'll conquer German before you know it. ?
