Language Learning & Public Transportation Take Us Back to the First Notes

This note set is the first of my notes on Esperanto:

I have no idea where I got them from, as my earliest notes were not well organized.

Better public transit would  help more people to learn more languages because they spend less time stuck in traffic in their cars, and more time able to read or talk, on a bus, train, or trolley.  Or even walking to get somewhere.

Given the interest readers have expressed over the years, I thought I might share some of my newest language learning journey here on my blog.  Once I have found others to help with Project Do Better, I will rework these notes in my other languages.

Any thoughts on how your previously learned languages help hook the new material?

More soon,

and

        Hopefully, the empathy that studying languages builds, and a little more good example via story, will help all of us learn to be more open to the needs, feelings, and happiness of others.

Language Learning with M. Aldave & Public Transportation Take US Places

This note set is the first of my studies in Esperanto:

This video gives, for Spanish speakers, a nice introduction to Esperanto.  I no longer have the link, but can certainly find it again, upon request.

Language Learning & Public Transportation Take US 16 + Places

This note set has the famous 16 Rules of Esperanto:

  I love the logic of this language, and the free resources for learning it, like Lernu, for example.

Better public transit would  help more people to learn more languages because they spend less time stuck in traffic in their cars, and more time able to read or talk, on a bus, train, or trolley.  Or even walking to get somewhere.

Why Economic Inequality, Especially, Needs More Attention

     So, share prices are more important than quality of work, since the 80’s and 90’s, then?   Because that is what it means, if you tie the CEO salary to stock market performance, rather than job performance, like the rest of us in evaluations, or to sales performance, or to inflation, or to product quality as measured by some other indicator, like maintenance outcomes, as just one possible example.  But why, exactly, refuse to adjust the wages of the very workers who produce that product upon which the CEO salary relies, even for inflation, for all of those years?  That makes no sense, even from a profit-oriented point of view.  Worker wages relate to product quality, which in turn relates, or ought to relate, to the share value, right?

“In 2021, CEOs earned 399 times the typical worker, the EPI report found.

“Obviously, CEOs should be the highest-paid person in an enterprise,” said EPI Chief Economist Josh Bivens, who co-wrote the report. “But the question is, how much higher than everyone else?”
Why autoworkers are asking for a 46% pay raise
Business
Why autoworkers are asking for a 46% pay raise

However, the disclosure of CEO-worker pay ratios — a rule adopted in 2018 — doesn’t appear to have helped bridge the gap thus far, said Cindy Schipani, a professor of business administration at the University of Michigan.

And these ratios, Schipani added, are exceptionally high at U.S. companies.

“The American free market economy has taken this to such high levels,” Schipani said.

The average hourly wage for workers manufacturing motor vehicles and parts, adjusted for inflation, has dropped by more than 20% in the past two decades, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

To put that in perspective, in just one year — between 2021 and 2022 — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares’ total remuneration rose by 22%.””

LanguageLearning & Public Transportation Are Both Better if You Do NOT Take Notes Like This

This note set has no colors, and makes no comment on where the set comes from, other than 11.  Not too useful.  This mind map is a better example:

Better public transit would  help more people to learn more languages because they spend less time stuck in traffic in their cars, and more time able to read or talk, on a bus, train, or trolley.  Or even walking to get somewhere.

Given the interest readers have expressed over the years, I thought I might share some of my newest language learning journey here on my blog.  Once I have found others to help with Project Do Better, I will rework these notes in my other languages.

Trains, Paper Airplanes, and Fewer Automobiles Would Help Lightening Bugs Live

       The lightening bugs we used to see back in the 1970’s even on the edge of the city some nights, down in DC when I would visit with my Grandmother for the summer, are apparently in dangerous decline, thanks to many factors created by us.  Like climate change.  Climate change and various types of justice go hand in hand, as my usual SoL (Statutes of Limitations) Saturday post tries to point out with the idea of Public Financial Knowledge Infrastructure as that which every adult should be updated on regularly as a public service, but that often fails to connect the dots with ways in which climate predictability breakdown also impacts the lives of other species, which in turn impacts our health, ability to move around and get to court or pro bono lawyer appointments, and even to doctors appointments, especially if one cannot drive, and thus our economic stability directly as individuals.  Not to mention our economic stability as a set of interlocking communities which depend upon the climate being sufficiently stable to do many things.  Mass transit is a well-known solution for climate change, and also for lessening the impacts, and even the fact itself, of economic inequality.   So, public transportation is a public and common good that actually solves a wide multitude of problems, if only we all would support it.

     An NPR article reported recently that “mosquitoes, rodents and livestock” are apparently among the few forms of biodiversity really thriving right now, and that goes hand in hand with climate change for driving factors that build new pandemics for human beings.  Using mass transit could help change this.

   Thank you to NPR’s Nathan Rott.

We must Do Better.

Language Learning & Public Transportation Are Both Better in Color

This note set has better colors, and makes the similarities between Latin and Esperanto clearer, for ease of learning, given that most of the world is familiar with English, a Latin derivative (ok, sort of, if you count the influence of Latin on the West Germanic language family, English in particular via the Normans).

Better public transit would  help more people to learn more languages because they spend less time stuck in traffic in their cars, and more time able to read or talk, on a bus, train, or trolley.  Or even walking to get somewhere.

Have you got any thoughts, Fellow Language Learners, on how your previously learned languages help hook-in the new language material you are currently learning?

More soon,

and

        Since, as the empathy that studying languages has been show to help build, language learning helps increase the ability to see from other points of view, I hope that these notes may help others to begin and continue studying languages.

#LanguageLearning & Better Public Transportation Are Both Imperative!!

This note set shows the imperative form in Turkish, French, and Esperanto.

Better public transit would  help more people to learn more languages because they spend less time stuck in traffic in their cars, and more time able to read or talk, on a bus, train, or trolley.  Or even walking together.

#LanguageLearning & Public Transportation Both Need Colors!!

This note set lacks colors, and it makes it far less easy to remember these notes.  Like being on drab colorless busses and trains.

Better public transit, btw, would also help more people to learn more languages because they spend less time stuck in traffic in their cars, and more time able to read or talk, on a bus, train, or trolley.  Or even walking together.

Due to the interest that my fellow language learners, here on the ShiraDest blog, and other readers as well, have expressed in getting more language learning tips, I thought I would share some of my experience in studying languages.  I hope to add more to these language learning tips from my point of view as a polyglot, after I have found more communities interested in editing their own versions of the  Project Do Better man.

Dear Fellow Students of Language, do you have more thoughts on how your previously learned languages help hook in to the new language material that you are studying?

More soon,

and

        Hopefully, the empathy that studying languages builds, and a lot more compassion for those who do not seem to be like us, can help us move this world more toward the path of having enough of all things for every human being.  We really can Do Better, and #Project Do Better offers on possible concept of a long term community based plan for getting there.

Definite Articles, On Public Transportation?

One of the first things you learn, for any language, is the definite article.  In Spanish and in French there are several,       and  in   Greek,

there are more!

But, in Esperanto, there is only one!  Ok, like Hebrew, but still, pretty cool, no?

That, you can easily learn, even on a moving Metro Bus! 

Given the interest readers have expressed over the years, I thought I might share some of my newest language learning journey here on my blog.  Once I have found others to help with Project Do Better, I will rework these notes in my other languages.
