What are three things wrong with adjectives for describing people?
1. Adjectives can be racist.
For example That white guy, that black guy, that Japanese guy.
2. Adjectives can be sexist.
For example, "That gay guy, that straight guy, that le***an woman, that bi person.
Adjectives can be just plain nasty.
That not so smart dude. That slow dude. That hot chick.

Ontario Parks With more than 340 provincial parks and nearly 300 conservation reserves, there’s lots to discover!

Here are some Canadian words for you.
Site
A site can mean a campsite, website or some kind of place.
If it is beautiful such as a place with no pet bottles thrown all over the ground and on the sidewalk, it is a beautiful sight.

You can find sites like these in places where people care about the earth.

How should you sit at the Toronto Public Library?

1. Keep in mind that the library is public. Anyone can go in there.
2. Put everything you own in front of you in your sight.
Keep an eye on it. (on your fries)
Do, always watch out what is going on.
Watch for your earphones walking away, your Blackberry, your wallet, your lap top.

Don't ignore what is going on.
Be aware of your surroundings.

Do read, write think learn.
Don't space travel, sit at Tim Horton's and gossip, sleep and complain.

1. What are nine excellent ways to learn Canadian English
in downtown Toronto, on Carlton Street with Have Fun Learn English, (HFLE) Canada if you like living downtown or by yourself, if you have no money.

There are many methods to learn language. As many methods that you know, one is new and you didn’t know that. Methods are something people can sell you if you are willing to buy them. How many language learning methods are there? How many people are on the earth?

So, about that many. There are as many ways to learn language as people on the earth. You have already learned one language when you started from not knowing any language when you were a baby. Remember? How did you do that? Success!
If you are reading this. You know at least one. Maybe two already. Please read more, thank you very much.

Do it My Way or the Highway method definition
A method is a way of doing things. Each person or school, or company or family claims that their way is the best way. After all, they do that, or sell that or drive that car, so they recommend that method, way, business, or car. To test that out, ask someone what car you should buy. Did you notice each person recommends their own car?

Therefore, they want you to do learn language “their way.” Unless they have studied language and have experience language learning like the faculty at HFLE. In fact, Frank Sinatra wrote a song called I did it my way. In English also, there is a saying about people who love getting their own way. It is called “My way or the highway.” A method is great if it helps you as a language learner. On the other hand, it is lousy if it doesn’t help you.

Many Methods

A method is not the only way or the best way. For example, one country tells you to learn writing by writing each word fifty times. This is great if you have all that time on your hands. For example, your country is poor, and all you have is time. Go ahead, spend the time and write each word fifty times.

Let me know when you are 120 years old how many words that you learned. That method in a third world situation, learning writing, might be great. But that method in a rich country, where business people, not us, believe that time is money, seems ridiculous. There are many ways to kill a rat. If he is eating your cheese, use one, such as an umbrella.

Some Ways

Some ways that language teachers and learners have come up with are the immersion method. Just jump in the water! Even if you can’t swim! The water is great! Don’t worry about a thing. Come on. Usually people who already are in the water, or can already ski, love this method.

They like to take you to the top of the highest double diamonod expert mountain on a helicopter, push you, and say, “Rock and roll!” As they leave you looking down the mountain in fear because you can’t ski, or swim. This method could be good for you if you land in a country where no one speaks your language. Go for it. It is great for French in Canada for some reason.

Other language Learning Ways

Other language learning ways include the listening and speak approach with rewards. This approach is based on the theory that you are a pigeon. Even though you don’t know at first, as people reward you with cookies, smiles, crumbs, and whatever, you react and learn the way a pigeon does. This is fabulous if you believe in evolution, or you have seen Pavlov’s dogs on You Tube.

If you start to think that you have a soul and a spirit, or even just a soul, avoid BF Skinner’s method. The negative part of that method involves electric shocks as punishment if you fail. You can watch this method in a movie about spy training on You Tube. It works great for cows. This method was created for pigeons, or Pavlov’s dog, not you. You are human. Try to remember that.

Are you a cow? Are you a pigeon? Are you a machine? If you think yes, go for it. Use the stimulus reaction method. This might help you at first. Personally, I agree with Noam Chomsky who disagreed in 1957. We are not pigeons, we are humans. But to each his own.

I feel GOOD

As you are learning language, you have to feel good. As you are learning English, one way to feel good is to go to the Metro supermarket, Scobey’s or No Frills on Parliament or Bloor and buy yourself ice cream or some snacks. Give yourself rewards to help yourself feel good after you have studied. Isn’t this the same as the method? No. You yourself, are creating a good feeling because English is a free, graceful, open minded, easygoing language unlike other languages. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Another way to learn Language is to go to the place where they speak that language. This is the best way because of culture, history, time, geography, timing, and coffee.
If you learn English in your school, or a book, yes it can be done.

However, you might not learn Canadian culture, and body language. For example, I met one guy, Joe who was great at Japanese, however, he didn’t know the culture. So sometimes he messed up slightly until he got the hang of it. He still had to learn body language which is different in every country and sometimes city.

History

If you live in a place you can see the history on the street signs, the streets, the memorials, the statues, the important things in that city or town. For example, College Street is called that, because it is near The University of Toronto, a collection of colleges with 34 libraries. The public is welcome to go to most libraries. Time wise, it seems like a waste to fly twenty hours and live near Carlton Street, or in High Park, or College West, for a year. But in the long run, you could make life time friends with other students or even a Canadian! In addition, you could get a global perspective that you can’t get from just one fish bowl.

Culture

I realise making friends with Canadians is not easy. They are shy, not confident, and busy because they are rich. If you would like to know the cultural events going on in Toronto search the Toronto.ca city website, parks Canada or Ontario, or your favourite search engine. Currently we have an ice festival, skating, museums, the aquarium, and the Art Gallery of Ontario AGO with many small galleries. Do you wanted to make friends with poor people? If you do, let us know, we can introduce you. They also speak English and have more time. Usually humans don’t.

Geography

Canada has different mountains lakes, rivers, oceans, and rocks, than your country or city. We also have some blue skies and a variety of green trees with Niagra Falls, the Canadian Shield, a bunch of rocks with lakes.

We also have trees, green trees and glaciers. Algonquin park has over sixty lakes with water that you can see through. Can you see through the water in your river? Take a look? See any garbage? Then book your ticket. We have garbage in city lakes, but we can also take you to lakes that you can drink out of.

Geography

In addition, we have four seasons with snowboarding skiing, and snowshoeing in the winter. In the summer, please join us in May or July to go camping with flies, squirrels, wolves, bears, and some meese. (Moose who live in the forest) In the fall the leaves change colour. In the spring, you can go to High Park and look at flowers and have a picnic if you want.

Coffee

If you don’t like your class in Canada you can sit in Starbucks, Tim Horton’s, McDonald’s or a local coffee shop with Free Wi Fi and read a Canadian book, or watch You Tube.
If you meet someone from a different country than you, you must speak English because you don’t understand each other. If you gather some friends together, from different countries in that café, you have an instant ongoing language learning opportunity.

Timing

At Present, the leader of Canada is in India creating more business relationships. The oil industry is booming in the west. In Toronto, there is a booming economy with construction, video game design, the service industry, and new Silicon Valley type industries such as Airbnb and the Second Closet. The best time to live in a place is when the economy is booming. The worst place to be is where no one has hope, people are running away, and bombs are going off. If you are there, either try to cause peace, or get out. If you are not rich yourself, and a student you can still benefit from free pens at the Marriott hotel as you use their Wi Fi sip coffee, and chat.

In addition, because of the booming economy, the tourism industry is huge in Toronto, and also Vancouver with buyers from all over the world. So therefore, you can learn about global business. Can you listen to executives making deals in cafes in your town, farm city, or school? If you can, stay there. However, if you need something new, come to Toronto, and learn English with Have Fun Learn English. It is, as U2 sang, “better than the real thing.”

Another way to learn English is to stay home, watch TV and use your mobile phone and various devices. The advantage of this is that your listening ability as you listen to English might get better. You can learn America English which dominates the world media wise. However, your pronunciation will stink.

I saw one South Korean student try the “watch TV stay home,” language method. His pronunciation was not as good as his friend’s who went to school Monday to Friday. And also, his friend’s speaking range was deeper. Therefore, if all you want to do is listen to English, stay home. Watch You Tube. But if you want to communicate in English and get global, get on the jet.

Twenty hours and you are here. I recommend transferring in Chicago (CHI) Los Angeles (LAX) or New York (JFK) A fun but slower transfer is Tai Pei, Hong Kong, (Lan Tau Island) or Paris. Some transfer flights allow you to stay one night there. Check your ticket.

Another way to learn English is to be a parrot. At the beginner level simply repeat what people say and guess what they are saying. Try it.

Another way is called the Total Physical Response method. Great for beginners. Simply follow instructions. Then give those instructions. This was made by Asher and is great for just landing in a country where you don’t know a word.

Airlines

Air Canada, (AC) Porter, Cathay Pacific, All Nippon Airlines, (ANA) Japan Airlines, (JAL)
United Airlines (UA) Continental and Southwest China Airlines arrive in Toronto. Currently LOT the Polish airline is having a sale. Check it out. The more time you spend shopping for your ticket, the cheaper your ticket. I recommend HIS travel in Shibuya if you are in Tokyo. In your city, just make sure that the travel agent is planning to stay open the length of your flight and don’t give anyone except the Customs agent your passport.

Flight Preparation

Look on You Tube, watch a video of all the airports you will go through. Find the restaurants, and whatever you want. Look at Google Maps at Have Fun Learn English Carlton Street Canada. On Google maps, search Carlton Street. Do you like it? Other places to look at in Canada are Banff, the Laurentians, Yellowknife, the Yukon, New York,
Practice answering customs agent and security people questions at the airport by looking at Have Fun Learn English Vocabulary.

One young woman I know would only say words that she could pronounce perfectly. That was great pronunciation wise, weak vocabulary wise. I like that idea.

One person I know talks to himself in English at home. When that person brushes his teeth, he says in English “I am brushing my teeth.”

One person I met would learn a few words at breakfast, and then repeat those words about five times in conversation at Hansa Language Centre with her classmates. She learned a lot, and fast.

One student I know went camping with us many times. He was the best at learning everything in Canadian culture, including camping, canoeing, tenting, and also worked at his job at the same time. He bought a car in Toronto, so he had to learn how to get a Driver’s Licence in English. No easy feat.

One guy I know avoided translators, and was super friendly. He also used flash cards and watched movies. Also, he hung out with other great language learners. He learned super fast and worked at the same time.

Some people carry phones or small cards and study those on buses or trains.

Clearly you can see that there are a million, gazillion, trillion, sacradillion ways to learn language. And there is no best method. Use your style. Use what works for you. Use your talents. Use what you have. Anyone that tells you that there is only one way to do something is trying to sell you something. Watch out. Maybe they are selling a book, or a school, or themselves, a family, or a religion. They are definitely trying to sell you something. Some people buy books, some people buy a method, and some people simply learn language. Which kind of person do you want to be? For example, the New York Yankees always has very expensive players on their baseball team.

However, they don’t always win the World Series. Why? Because it is not the players who are paid the most that win. It is the team that is the most well managed. In Conclusion, what I am telling you is the way to learn language is simply to manage your language learning.

Canada wins at hockey because we don’t get penalties and pass the puck. Communication is passing the puck. Come to Toronto Canada Have Fun Learn English and learn Canadian English.

Is there any better English than Canadian English?
If there is, learn that also. In 2018, with a booming economy, Prime Minister Trudeau, and spring on the way, Canadian English with freedom, opportunity and summer camping trips, is the place to be.
