Why Languages? Languages are very important nowadays. There are more than seven thousand languages in the world. Some of the languages are more widely spread than others like English, German and Mandarin language. It is important to learn languages because people travel a lot and then the communication is easier. In the world there are so many languages and it is impossible that we could speak them all. That's why there are some dominant languages. I think one of the most spoken languages is English, because so many people in the world can speak it. Some foreign languages are taught in very young age children. For example in Estonian children learn in school German, Russian and English

Isoleerivates keeltes väljendatakse grammatilisi suhteid iseseisvate, grammatilise tähendusega sõnade lisamise teel või sõnajärje abil (tegelikult on hiina keeles olemas liitsõnad ja tuletised). Hiina keeles on 4 erineva sagedusega tooni: kõrge toon, kerkiv toon, langev-kerkiv toon ja langev toon (on tavainimesele raske eristada ja võib segadusse ajada). Antud hetkel on hiina keel (Mandarin Chinese) maailmas populaarseim keel. On leitud, et Eesti keel ja Hiina keel võivad olla sarnased 6 Noorte idee: hiina keel igasse Eesti kooli Igas Eesti koolis võiks saada 1. klassist alates hiina ehk mandariini keelt õppida. Milleks seda vaja on? Hiina on maailma suurima rahvaarvuga riik maailmas, mis viimastel aastatel on kiirelt arenenud. Eestile annaks hiina keele õppimine konkurentsieelise teiste riikide ees.
Pitch (tone) the auditory property of a sound that enables a listener to place it on a scale going from low to high, without considering the acoustic properties such as the frequency of sound. To produce a stressed syllable one may change the pitch, make the syllable louder, make the syllable longer. Fixed stress always word-initial (Czech, Hungarian), always word-final (Turkish, French), penultimate (Polish). Dynamic stress Russian, English Tone languages Somali, Mandarin Stress-timed languages syllables may last different amounts of time, but stressed syllables appear at a roughly constant rate. Non-stressed syllables are shortened to accomodate this. Syllable-timed languages every syllable is perceived as taking up roughly the same amount of time. Syllables are given approximately equal stress. When words are combined into sentences (or phrases), only one of the syllables receives a

(literally "early spring") On New Year's Day, Japanese people have a custom of giving money to children. This is known as otoshidama (, otoshidama?). It is handed out in small decorated envelopes called 'pochibukuro,' similar to Goshugi bukuro or Chinese red envelopes and to the Scottish handsel. In the Edo period large stores and wealthy families gave out a small bag of mochi and a Mandarin orange to spread happiness all around. The amount of money given depends on the age of the child but is usually the same if there is more than one child so that no one feels slighted. Mochi Another custom is creating rice cakes (, mochi?). Boiled sticky rice (, mochigome?) is put into a wooden shallow bucket-like container and patted with water by one person while another person hits it with a large wooden mallet. Mashing the rice, it forms a sticky white dumpling
in the countryside and continues to retain its charm for many, as opposed to the commercialization of eating habits. Upholding of traditions is important to many. Black pudding (Estonian: verivorst), head cheese (Estonian: sült) and sauerkraut (Estonian: hapukapsas) with over-roasted potatoes have been part of the traditional Estonian menu that nowadays are mostly Christmas specialties. Also, typical Christmas treats have been apples, Mandarin oranges and gingerbread. What to Drink in Estonia Part of the fun of travelling is trying to local cuisine, or perhaps more importantly, the drinks. Given Estonia's drinking culture, there is no shortage of options for developing a hangover.

SOCIETY AND CULTURE OF ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES Introduction 1. Nowadays, English is so widely spoken that it can hardly be considered "a one nation's" language. The main countries where English is spoken are: the U.K, the U.S, Canada, Australia, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, West Indies 2. There are approx. 300-400 million speakers of English in the world. English occupies the 3rd place by its number of speakers; it is right behind Mandarin and Spanish. 3. ESL (English as a Second Language) used in your own country (e.g. India) EFL (English as a Foreign Language) used in a foreign country ESP (English for Specific Purposes) used in business, airlines, hotels etc. 4.

ahead – whether their interests are to promote English or to develop the use of other languages in their community (or, of course, both). If they miss this linguistic boat, there may be no other. [1, p. 26- 28 ] 1.5 The Role of English Today Today English is becoming the first world's universal language. It is the mother tongue of 500 million of people in 12 countries of the world. It is, of course, less than about 900 million of people speaking Mandarin. But English is thought to be second language of 600 million of people. About 200 million of people know the English language to some extent. It has official and semi-official status in 62 countries of the world. No doubts that English is much more geographically spread and more universal than Chinese. And the rate of the development of its use is incredible. Today about 1,5 billion
The big country is far from crowded. It is about the size of the UK but its some 16 million population is less than four time as big as Chicago's. There are about 50 000 aborigines. More than half of all the people od Australia live in its eight biggest cities. Sydney and Melbourne are two largest. Each one has about 3 000 000 people. Australia is multicultural diverse society. The languages most commonly spoken in Australia are English, Italian, Greek, Cantonese, Arabic, Vietnamese and Mandarin. The native Australians Aboriginal flag The word "aboriginal" means "the first" or "earliest known". Australia may well be the home of the worlds first people. More than 30,000 years ago the population of the world was small, and people lived in family groups, hunting, fishing and food gathering. There where no cultivated crops, animals were not herded for food and metalworking was yet to be discovered.
Society and culture of english-sspeaking countries Introduction 1. The countries of the world where the English language is spoken. 2. Approximate number of mother tongue speakers of English approximately 350-400 million native speakers. Which place does English occupy in the world by its number of speakers?After which language? English occupies second place by its number of speakers after Mandarin Chinese. 3. What is the difference between English as a Second Language, English as a Foreign Language and English for Specific Purposes? Give examples of situations where they are used. English as a Second Language (ESL or TESL) is a traditional term for the use or study of the English language by non-native speakers in an English-speaking environment. That environment may be a country in which English is the mother tongue (e.g., Australia, the U.S.) or one in which

The accusation is that a few Chinese-Americans working in American nuclear laboratories were responsible for furnishing China with the nuclear secrets. This, of course, has drawn howls of protest from Chinese-American leaders. But what struck me most was what one of the protesters said. In most American nuclear laboratories, in fact in most research laboratories, Mandarin seems to be the official language of communication. What in effect this means is that Chinese-Americans have so outnumbered Americans themselves in these research facilities that it becomes more convenient for everybody to speak Mandarin. Chinese Americans understand that knowledge is power. They have carved a niche for themselves where they can exercise power – in the highly classified field of nuclear warheads and missiles.
Although similar to the Turkish Angora, it is bred in a wider range of colours (including chocolate and lilac, which come from Siamese ancestry), its voice is similar to that of the Siamese and it is more fecund than the Turkish Angora. The British Angora is a Foreign Longhair bred to recreate or resemble the Turkish breed rather than reintroduce genuine Turkish cats. It is related to the Oriental and Balinese. Elsewhere in Europe it is known as the Javanese or Mandarin; in the USA it is a Foreign Longhair. The British Angora is more foreign in type with a longer, narrower head and larger ears than the Turkish Angora. This situation was rectified in 2002 when Britain's GCCF came into line with other registries and called the British variety Oriental Longhairs, thus removing confusion with the original Turkish Angora cats. The possibility of importing Turkish Angoras was apparently considered, but bureaucracy
