The bulgarian violinist Wladimir Wladigeroff plays Kaddish by Maurice Ravel, arranged for violin solo by L. Wladigeroff

 

 

 

Kaddish by Ravel performed at Auschwitz Birkenau

Kaddish is a prayer found in the Jewish prayer service. The central theme of the Kaddish is the magnification and sanctification of God's name. In the liturgy different versions of the Kaddish are used functionally as separators between sections of the service. The term "Kaddish" is often used to refer specifically to "The Mourners' Kaddish", said as part of the mourning rituals in Judaism in all prayer services as well as at funerals and memorials. When mention is made of "saying Kaddish", this unambiguously denotes the rituals of mourning. (Wikipedia)

There is only ONE WAY to learn a new language

YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IT!!!

I (Graeme, Ed of Kaixin with Xiaosui) am a mature age adult and I have never been good a learning a language.

I studied online for 5 years and I knew a LOT about how to speak Chinese.

BUT, I could not speak it!

Then I met a wonderful woman who is to be my wife.

She spoke little English so I had to stumble through my rudimentary Chinese.

She is very very patient and I was soon speaking with some fluency. It was still simple Chinese and I am sure many of the tones are wrong, but she can understand.

I then realized that if I had done that from the very beginning I would be fluent by now.

You can't learn a language by just studying it.

You have to use it from the very beginning.

So don't waste 5 years like I did, start with an online tutor from eteacher and you will soon be speaking your new language fluently.

 

Chinese Students, the same applies to you. You will not learn English UNLESS you use it.
