In this way, we can experience freedom.” I agreed her and so, we ran and shouted loudly; Heyyyyy…Hoooyyyy…yooooohaaaa haaaa…..

What are the results of learning more than a language?

Posted by SaLeM on April 18, 2009

Learning a language is the best tool to deal with other people who speak that language.Because the language learnt is a path for the learner to know more about these or those people,countries,other traditions,habits,cultures,civilizations,etc.The learner can make many friends,money,business..all things that he/she could get.By languages learning a person can come close to other people,other countries,etc;his/her expriences get developed.For exmple,me when I was learning English at elementry scho

Shams

Posted by Nafis on April 15, 2009

Rumi, the poet, started his adult life as a Moslem scholar. He became well known as an authority on Shariyat, the law of Islam, which he wrote of in his manuscripts.All of that came to an abrupt end when he met his master, Shams-e-Tabriz. In Shams he recognized something that was beyond religion. It was so profound that it changed his entire life. In fact, it was so profound, that he was transformed into one of the world’s most immortal poets and mystics. When Shams told Rumi to throw his manusc

The man who said, 'It is I'A CERTAIN man once came and knocked on on the door of a friend.'Who are you, faithful one?' his friend asked.'I,' he answered.'Go away', the friend said. 'It is not the proper time. There is no place for such a raw fellow at a table like mine.'What shall cook the raw, but he fire of banishment and separation? What shall deliver him out of hypocrisy?That wretched man departed and wandered abroad for a year, burned as with sparks of fire in separation from his friend.

Band-Aids

Posted by Nafis on April 10, 2009

I have a Band-Aid on my finger,One on my knee, and one on my nose,One on my heel, and two on my shoulder,Three on my elbow, and nine on my toes.Two on my wrist, and one on my ankle,One on my chin, and one on my thigh,Four on my belly, and five on my bottom,One on my forehead, and one on my eye.One on my neck, and in case I might need ‘emI have a box full of thirty-five more.But oh! I do think it’s sort of a pityI don’t have a cut or a sore!This poem written by Shel Silverstien.

Native English speakers' blogs

Posted by Expector Smith on April 10, 2009

I know most of the members here are English learners. Some of them may come here from all over the world just for improving their English skills. So, here come my questions:
1. Learners should only read the blogs by native English speakers? Learners want to learn standard English (AmE or BrE). They read and learn, but, if what they read is full of grammar, spelling or expression mistakes, what's the point of reading such blogs? Maybe you don't care who the blogs are by. Maybe you just want to com

It was at midnight in a hot summer. My cousins and I were talking about a book depicting a ghost. A picture of which was in the book that we always looked at it and discussed on it.-How did the photographer take that picture? We cannot see the ghosts. How did he see?-I do not know but, as you can see in this picture, he did it.-What kind of camera did he have?-I guess it was not a regular camera.Then, we all looked at the picture.

On the thirteenth day of Persian New Year which is the last phase of the New Year celebration, people leave home and go outside. They took their Sabzeh, which is lentil or wheat plant grown in a pot, to throw into the river symbolizing the cycle of life. But, why do they do on the thirteenth day of the New Year?
