Does learning a foreign language take long?

Does it take long to learn a foreign language? It does for certain people like me and for other people they rather catch on easier than people like me that are kind of slow at foreign languages. Learning a foreign language still takes lots of hours of study to even get sufficient enough to read and say all the sounds out loud the right way. I am still having a little problems with pronunciation because I still need to practice more by myself for speaking Korean. The most important thing about learning a foreign language is speaking it. Honestly speaking it makes you learn how the sentence formation works with different endings and different words. Also you have to learn your alphabet really well to go along with your foreign language you choose in your future. If you already chose your foreign language that you are trying to speak, this is to the people that have just started learning a foreign language for the first time by the way. You have to be good at the base first or else you can't learn anything because you won't know how to say anything out loud or in your head. You need to learn all or the sounds so you can read all of the letters out loud so you can differentiate each word. I am still working on it. And I have spend 1 semester and 2 weeks on another semester at a college. I am auditing a 5 credit course for Korean Language teachings. You should go to class somewhere around where you live. Going to class gives you structure. Then you learn by yourself after you go to class. You can't just do it all by yourself even though they have many people online willing to help you. You have to go to class you have to do it both ways. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Get your sensor cleaned the first time at a camera shop or send it in to Canon.

If you have never cleaned a sensor before or you don't have the materials for sensor cleaning and you want to do it yourself, I would get your sensor cleaned by someone else like in a camera store that you can trust or send it in to Canon or drive it in to Canon. The materials for a sensor cleaning is expensive because you have to buy the sensor loop that cost $50 dollars or more and you have to buy the sensor swabs with eclipse solution that cost some money also. Plus you have to look it up and risk your sensor with your own hands. But I do say if that you pay very close attention to the directions and get the right materials their should be no problem. That's why I got my sensor cleaned in a camera store because I don't have the materials or I don't have the experience to clean a sensor. But for the most part I didn't clean my sensor because I didn't have the materials. If I did have the materials I would have cleaned the sensor myself. Plus if you get your sensor cleaned by a camera store, you support local business because selling expensive items in local businesses these days are hard because no one wants to pay tax. So that's why our local camera store offers classes and other things to earn extra money just for the overhead. Just support local business if you don't have the supplies or the experience. So thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Is the Mac operating system prepared for a war?

A couple of unknown objects have shown up on the Mac operating system. I means things like Trojans and viruses. I kind of feel like right now that the Mac is very vulnerable to real life threats online. I bet people who create viruses and earn money off the viruses are looking into the Mac operating system so they kind find the vulnerabilities of the whole operating system then shoot them all them once into the mac operating system. I bet they would want to make it invisible so no one sees what's happening until the big problem occurs. Not just system crashes. I honestly think that just want your personal data. Like social security numbers and credit card numbers so they can withdraw most or all the money in your account. I think the people who create viruses now are just wanting to earn the money off the unknown user or just break down a major system network or a national network like a terrorist attack. There are so many people create dangerous objects just for fun and money and I don't think it's protected anymore. I think their is a lot of loop holes in antivirus software because the software may have change things that the antivirus doesn't even know about. The actual question is? Are both Mac and PC prepared for a world war against viruses. Because I feel like that we already have viruses on our computer that we can't find and we don't know about. We might already have viruses on our computer maybe because the installed custom operating systems on our PC so the antivirus can't detect it. The viruses or other bad objects are not seen by the eye but by fraud. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I getting this tripod for video recording on my DSLR. I am getting this tripod in about 6-7 days because I have just ordered it off amazon. I do have a tripod already but it has the wrong head.

Join a Language Class for learning a foreign language.

You may think that you can learn a foreign language online without a class. That is very much possible. There is only one thing missing from learning a foreign language online. Human interaction with physical objects in front of you. Having real people that are actually there in front of you is worth the money in my opinion. Person interaction is everything. The best way to learn a foreign in my opinion is to take a foreign language course and watch and learn online. Two is better than one in this situation of learning a foreign language. Learning from a person that speaks it and having the connection with the teacher is irreplaceable. You can as much question as you want during after hours. Audit a 5 credit class like me if you want too. You learn a lot over the months. Or join another class if you don't have you school you like near you to teach you a foreign language. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Being good looking does matter.

There is no question that all humans judges people on how they look. Two examples... Racial Profiling and Syria. Those examples are just two tags that trigger in our mind when we see different kinds of people with different skin color. I am not trying to be racist but I honestly think we are opinionated about peoples looks. I think that's how we are just made. It's in our DNA to judge people from any sort of thing. Without opinions it would make life boring and their wouldn't be as good of inventions. All of us need help on making something that is in our head. Most of the time when it needs parts we need help so we can create it. Everybody has a set of skill sets. Some are very unique and some are just the plain old regular. If you need to get your taxes done or get your lawn done look at the person in front of you. Do you think that they can do the job without messing up or with no BULLSHIT. That's why we judge people by looks. To see if they will do the job right or not. This may be a controversial blog post but I am telling the truth. If you want to be treated seriously you have to have a good decent look that is consistent so people think that you are normal and sane. If you want to have a good job have good looks. Especially if it's a easy job. Loose a couple pounds put some makeup on and make the company or friend that you are working for proud. No one wants a bad representative for their company. So this may help you if you are looking for a job. Because the facts on your fact sheet on what you can do matters. But looks are just as good as having a good fact sheet. Think about it. People work at hooters don't need a good education you only need good looks and a push-up bra. So that's half of the battle. You guys just need both. Or work for yourself. Thank you for reading my blog and don't lie to yourself that you don't judge people by peoples' looks.

New to Photography? Join a forum.

If you are new to Photography or anything else other than that then join a forum if you are new to the subject. If you are new to the subject like I am still. Well I still consider myself new to photography and filmmaking after having my camera for about a year or so. Because you never can learn all the good stuff in such little time. Just as Malcolm Gladwell said. You need to spend 10,000 hours on something to be very good at it. If you spend 10,000 hours improving yourself. That means you are either to the Pro state or the Semi Pro state. Just join a forum online and ask all the questions you like. People will be happy to answer them for you. And also just look up YouTube tutorials online on Photography or whatever else you are doing right now that requires skill. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Firefox is very unstable with a couple windows and tabs open.

All I have to say is that I have a computer with 12GB of ram in it. And I also think that this shouldn't be a issue. Having a like three windows up with 8 tabs each is not a lot for it getting a beach ball every time I get a spinning beach ball for the slowness. I predict that Firefox is not going to solve this problems for a long time because people already have complained about this. And that's the reason why people use other browsers than Firefox. Because of the speed and the reliability for have multiple windows open and tabs open with no issue. I just think that it is kind of bad that the company behind Firefox is practically just a browser company and can't solve a couple bad issues about the browser. I guess things are just meant to fail...

Fixing Adobe CS4 after hard drive replacement or failure.

This is going to be the best way to fix your activation problem with CS4 after a hard drive replacement or a hard drive failure. Lot's of people say oh download the repair tool or delete this folder or that cache. It didn't work for me. I am going to save you some time right now. Go onto the Adobe Support website then press serial and activation as your problem. Then press the chat problem then you will be greeted by a VA from India or somewhere else. Then tell your problem like, OMG my time-machine messed up my Adobe serial after full restore on my imac. I just recently replaced the hard drive. Then they will ask you to verify and just say yea. Then they will fix it from your computer. Then the next time I opened all of the Adobe Production Premium CS4 programs all of them worked without that stupid warning popping up every time I open it. I really hope it helps and don't try the other things that they did. That never helped me and it will probably no even help you. Just do this it takes about 10 minutes for responding to your problem. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Put an SSD in your laptop or Desktop.

SSD's are becoming the new storage device for computers in replacement for the hard drives. They are more expensive but they are all made out of electrical components. Having no moving parts makes the drive a lot faster than the traditional hard drive. If you are looking for a SSD I would recommend the Crucial SSD. Just backup everything onto a external hard drive and replace and put the new SSD in your computer and reinstall the operating system and you are all done. Also upgrade the firmware on the SSD. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Math is only kind of fun only when you take your time.

I don't want to rush on things like Math. I think the most important thing about Math is that it gets you into college and it makes you have confidence because you know how to do one thing right atleast. I think people get the wrong idea on what learning should be like. I bet a lot of people think that people should be rushing through chapters of their history book and Math book. I say not. I think if you want to remember math and even make it more enjoyable by taking your time and not rushing. I think rushing is one of the worst things that you can do for your education. By not rushing you take your take and think about your problems that you are facing. Plus also it makes you remember bet if you take your time on a certain subject. Like I said in my title, learning can be fun or more enjoyable only if you take your time and you are not in a rush. Thank you for reading my opinion and have a nice day.

Learning only feels good while you are learning at your pace.

I am the type of person that takes their time on homework and other projects. Maybe being I self-study at home instead of going to the public education system during school days. But I think that lots of people should slow down their speed on certain things. I am not saying that you should stop learning even though you want to learn. But sometimes I think you shouldn't work to hard on it just on one day because you won't have enough energy on the next day. And sometimes you have to sleep and think of what you are doing. You shouldn't strain yourself if you don't need to strain yourself. I think if your work project is due tomorrow, take your time don't rush. I wouldn't rush because if you rush your project is not going to be as good as someone elses project. What I am saying is that you should take your time on things that you do have time on. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Why you should get a laptop and a desktop.

I have a couple reasons for you all that should tell you why you need a desktop and a laptop. If you don't have a laptop get one! The number 1 thing that you can do in your life is buy a laptop. The best thing about a laptop is that you can be mobile, anywhere. Instead of a desktop that is just in your house. If you aren't a mobile person, and you just work at a job and it tires you out and you just have to go to bed afterwords. You still need a laptop. There is another reason why you need a laptop if you don't have one. If you don't have a laptop, and if you are tired. You will use the computer less if you have a desktop. This has been proven by me that I get really tired when sitting a chair in front of the screen instead of working on the computer when you are laying on something relaxing. What I am saying is that you can use a little more of your computing battery for your computer if you get a laptop and sit somewhere that is comfortable enough to work. You can't just sit behind a desk all day! You will strain your back and get tired fast. Just get a laptop if you don't have one.

The reason why you should have a desktop. The desktop is the all in one powerhouse. It is also a very good media hub. That means you put everything from your laptop or other computers around your house or wherever you live onto the computer. Then you put it on the computer then you back up the desktop with an external hard drive. Another reason why you need a desktop is that it's really powerful. If you really need the performance, the graphics, the nice displays, and storage options. Get a desktop! Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I am not going to work at a job when I get older.

One of my many unknown goals in life is to never have to work for someone except for myself. Why am I against working? I am against working because I don't wanna work I wanna to work for myself or with someone, like a partner for a business. Screw working for only a couple dollars an hour instead of working for a couple years on your business to have the potential of being worth lots of money. Also if you start your own company you can create and tell things that you want people to know. You can create and manage your own company! That's why I am going to be a entrepreneur instead of just a worker. I want to create content that other people enjoy. I really don't want to just work for someone or a company for 20 + years just for a pension. Screw that... Plus I want to have free time traveling and working on my business or businesses when I am mobile. I want to go traveling and stay in certain country's in Asia for a while. And if someone ask for me to speak or something, I will come and speak and continue onto my normal life like a guy with mobility. I was also thinking about not going to college either, and rather instead just create a business and make people happy and make myself happy. Then my dad said "Just go for the Foreign Exchange programs at the very least" I said okay... That actually might only be the only thing that attracts college in my mind. Going to a different country and spending the governments money for the experience. Because our family is kind of sick of the middle class syndrome zone. What I mean is that my parents just want to have a fun time for the rest of their lives instead of being lawyers. Well I guess I can say that my dad kind of wanted to be a lawyer because he kind of wanted to just how to speak. And he does know how to speak well at most times. Because my dad is American even if he was adopted from Korea to America. Yea this is my thinking process right now. At least I am a rebel with a cause instead of a rebel without a cause. Like the Canon Rebel T4i LOL... Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

How many Koreans were adopted to US from 1953-2001

I have found out how many Koreans were adopted from 1953-2001 by searching on Google. The answer is 99,061 Koreans were adopted in the US during 1953-2001. I really think that they might've had stopped this study a couple years ago. The reason why I wanted to figure this out is that I wanted to know how many Koreans were adopted by the time of 1960-2012 for the documentary that we are making right now. You can look at this information by looking at this picture.

How long does it take to learn Photography?

When you start out Photography and some people may think that you maybe a expert in Photography in a couple years. That is simply not true. You can specialize in something but it doesn't mean that you are a professional. Photography in my opinion is a fun and never never ending learning experience. I can tell you why Photography is a never ending learning experience. If you work with people or travel to different places or do it all at once, I promise you that you will learn something new either off a mistake or a new technique that you have made on the way while shooting your photos. If you think that you are a expert and you only had the camera for 2 or 3 years, that is not really a long time. Only if you are old it is. Just search Photography videos on YouTube. YouTube has so much Photography content so you can improve your Photography by getting the confidence and the right skills. If you don't know how to use your camera, watch videos on your camera first or the modes of your camera. Then if you are shy of taking pictures of people on the street. Like hey can I take a picture of you? They have videos on that too! Photography has unlimited unlimited possibilities and experiences. Photography comes with awesome life baggage that you can talk about with friends and family and even with your dog or cat. If you are just getting started just look up videos on YouTube. Just search how to use manual or something that has function on your camera. Just keep learning like I am learning. And keep shooting. I hope to take tons more photos this year. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Why I think that you should just buy 32GB cards for your DLSR.

The reason why that I will only buy and always will buy 32GB cards for my DSLR is that it only takes about a little over 2,000 photos to fill up a 32GB card with RAW files. If you are like me and you shoot a lot of photos or just don't want to delete that photos that are already on the CF card while shooting other things. Go ahead and buy that 32GB card. I really think that guys need a 32GB card because you will never have to worry about running out of storage while taking photos. That actually happened with me once with the 32GB card while I was shooting at a Obama rally in our state. It was not pretty deleting a whole bunch of beautiful photos while Obama was speaking. That was a bad experience. Just buy two 32GB cards and two 16GB cards. I think that would be enough storage for us. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.
