Naruto was walking alone in the Konoha village, he saw Hinata and waved to her. Fortunately
Hinata turned around and walked over to him.

"Hey, Hinata, would you like to take a walk with me?" Naruto asked smilingly but Hinata blushed and looked down, quiet for a second.
"Hm? What's wrong?" Naruto ask looking at her.
"Oh! Um nothing Naruto kun. I... I love to.. walk with with you." Hinata said shyly.

Naruto placed his hands behind his head and smiled. Hinata walked by him as the two were silent for a moment. "Hinata, why are you so quiet all the time?" Naruto broke the silent.
Hinata didnt answer, then hesitated, "....I.... I've... always... been... that way." She said softly.
"I see. You need to talk more-- how am I supposed to know more about you, if you don't talk. You're always acting weird around me." Naruto pointed out.
Hinata looked at him shyly then looked down looking ashamed. "S.......sorry. I--"
"Hm?" Naruto replied not opening his mouth.
"I..... I l--li.....like y.. you!" She said finally committing her feelings. Her face blushed a deep red.

Naruto stopped walking. He didn't know what to say. Silence took ove the moment.
Tears filled in Hinata's eyes "S-sorry!" She said in a quiet tone as she took off running, ashamed. Tears flew from her eyes as she ran passed.

Naruto ran after her. But Hinata ran fast. Suddenly She tripped on a tree stump. Her face implanted in the dirt, as her hands clenched the grass and dirt. She sobbed quietly.

Naruto finally caught up to her. He crouched down, placed his hand, shaking on Hinatas shoulder. "Hinata... do... do you really like me?" He asked in his quiet tone.
Under her muffled crying voice, Hinata answered, "y...yes..."
Naruto didn't answer for a moment, then he replied, "Well... I have...feelings for you too.... I like you, Hinata"

The ability to master a foreign language is like running a marathon. Crossing the finish line when the race is over is a great accomplishment, but that 26.2-mile run has many ups and downs along the way.

Just when you think you have the hang of the trail, hills and bumps start appearing. Sometimes when the road looks easy, it is actually the hardest part of the run.

A welled trained marathon runner prepares themselves for weeks and makes sure they are equipped with the right tools to make their run as successful as possible. A never give up attitude, along with their preparation and tools, overcomes human weaknesses such as fatigue and body soars acquired along the route.

Learning a Language like a Marathon Runner

Just as a marathon runner prepares and makes sure they are equipped with tools to run a successful race, language learners need to take the same approach with learning a language; the tools and preparation required to learn a language are different, but they are just as important.

There are many tools language learners can use to learn a language. Dictionaries, literature books, language learning software, television, and native speakers are just a few of the tools language learners equip themselves for success.

Using Tools to Help You Succeed

While spending 24 months in the country of Haiti, I armed myself with the tools listed above to run the language learning marathon. I remember the plane ride into Haiti from Miami. At the time I could only pick out a few words from the native speakers, but I had been studying with Haitian Creole speakers and a dictionary with flash cards two months prior. These tools helped me get a great foundation for learning a foreign language but when I first arrived in Haiti and started hearing these words spoken from native speakers I realized speaking like a native was a whole different ball game.

Haiti Picture

The first day into the country, I was placed in a house with 4 native speakers, and was there for 12 months. The only English I saw or heard was from my English-to-Haitian Creole dictionary and letters from home. This tool was vital to helping me understand the language I was starting to learn.

Each month that passed was like a mile in a marathon, and I became stronger in the language each day. I went from only knowing what was being talked about by picking out a few words of a conversation, to finally being able to converse.

By the time I left the country, I had mastered the language. I even made natives astonished by my vocabulary, pronunciation, and the speed in which I could speak Haitian Creole.

Mastering the English Language

After returning home, I entered college and went back to mastering my native language of English. I became aware of how lucky we are to have spelling and grammar automated tools, and wished there was one for every language spoken. I know I could have used them when I was learning Haitain Creole!

Given my experience with learning a foreign language I believe spelling and grammar tools are undervalued. If used effectively, I believe they can only speed up the pace of mastering a language. These tools help explain why the English language works the way it does, not just that you have made a mistake.

Remember that learning a language is a difficult task. It will not come in one day, but rather over a period of time just like finishing a marathon. Arm yourself with the right tools to succeed, and look for tools that you might have over looked. Happy Learning!

The use of phonics in reading is considered to help students make connections between written words and the sounds of spoken words. When teaching students to read through phonics, teachers must explain the sounds students learn. Among the vowel sounds, which are vital to every word. There are two types of vowels: long vowels and short vowels. Students must learn to identify not only sounds but also when the sounds are used and how to choose which vowel sounds to make when they read.

Explain the Vowel Sounds to a Student

Information :

Give details to students vowels. To understand the vowels, students must understand the purpose of vowels and vowels. Brain Pop Jr., a website that provide educational videos for students K-3, says that teachers should explain that the vowels are "a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y." Tell students that the vowels are used to make words when joint with consonants, which are all the other letters in the alphabet.

Tell students that vowels can make different sounds in the words. Give some examples of how words can contain the same vowel, but may look different. For example, writing the words "see" and "soon". Although both words contain an "o", using the double vowel letter and change the sound of a long vowel.

Show students some pictures with words written underneath. Focusing first on short vowels and then show words with long vowel sounds. Ask students to sound out the word as displayed and point to the sound of vowels.
Vowel Sounds

Give students a project to write lists of words and say the words as they write. This will strengthen the vowels and the words are different when the vowels of words.
Read a book aloud and ask students to notice when there are short vowels and when there are long vowels. This will help them learn to recognize vowel sounds in a variety of words.

Allow students to play interactive storybook activities designed for the recognition of vowels. Scholastic, a resource for the development of early learning programs, a online, interactive activities to help students learn the vowel.

Questions how is the most important thing in speaking English. As most of the time your conversation begins with a question if it is necessary to improve it. Here are some tips to learn the techniques of interrogation:

Effective Questioning Skills

Tip 1: Keep the rules to the question in your mind.

Rule 1:
W / H family helping + verb + subject + verb + object (if applicable) +?
For example: When did he take food?. In this sentence when l / h family, contributes verb, it is subjected, is to take the word, the food is subject to and after the question mark.

Rule 2:
In case you need to start Whose your question, how much, or how, this rule applies only:
W / H + + designed to help families verb + subject + verb +?

For example:
Q. whose car he was driving?
Q. How much water does it meet?

Rule 3:
If there is no subject and the sentence is affirmative, you do not have to use past tense verbs help undefined undefined and present.

For example:
Q. Who wrote the letter with a pen?
Q. whose brother went to London?

Tip 2: Do not keep the rules of the time in mind. When you have to ask questions related to these things, ask questions only present as:
Q. Why do you always late?
Q. Where has it been that long?

In the past:
Q. Where did it go yesterday?
Q. When were you studied last night?

In the future:
Q. Where will he play?
Q. which car will you buy?

Tip 3: Practice is the most important thing in speaking English. The more you practice, the more you would.
