Living in a digital world with ever-changing technology, the education system looks – and feels – very different from how students learned 20 years ago. From new devices to increased expenses, this can be an overwhelming change for parents. Aside from this, online school has become a mainstream form of education since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. With this abundance of educational resources and countless new options for learning, where do you even begin? That’s where we come in.

Portugal is a country with a rich cultural heritage, with ramifications throughout time and space. In this series of blog posts, we’ll briefly go over Portugal’s history, traditions, and cuisine, and hopefully understand a bit more about the country and its people.
Writing a summary of Portuguese history is a nearly impossible task. Not only is Portugal an old country with a long history, this is a complicated history that has been thoroughly whitewashed. So you’re considering learning a new language. Maybe you’re moving to a Portuguese-speaking country, or maybe you’re just curious. Either way, choosing a language to learn is the beginning of a long journey, so here are 6 reasons for you to learn Portuguese.
While growing up in Portugal, my favorite TV program was Cartoon Network. I woke up early on Saturdays to watch the Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack, and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends… In English. With no subtitles.
I and many other people my age were exposed to English early on, which allowed us to start getting used to the language while relatively young. This, allied with the fact that it’s uncommon to dub films in Portugal, made learning English a lot easier for a lot of people. While there aren’t a lot of widely available cartoons made in Portugal, there’s a wide variety of dubbed cartoons. In this article, we’ll cover cartoons for all ages. Learning a new language brings benefits to your brain. As you acquire new words and structure sentences to set your ideas, you are establishing new connections, maintaining your brain cells active and starting to exercise your memory.
Picture this: you have a test coming up. You go to the library or a café to study. You get there early, get your best markers out (the pastel ones), and open your book. There’s so much to do, you don’t even know where to start. So, you read and underline a bit, then get distracted, then stop working, and put off studying, ending up pulling an all-nighter before your assessment to prepare. Does this sound familiar?
Studying can feel like a dreadful chore to many. But it doesn’t have to be. So, let’s look into how to study effectively. Music is a language that needs exploration in order to be understood; it has the same importance as any other spoken language since it allows you to communicate. Language has grammar, pronunciation, and expressions; music has melody, harmony, rhythm, and form.
Even if you resist learning a new language even though you’re living in a new country or are unwilling to learn music theory because you just want to play the guitar, you’ll still need a pinch of knowledge to understand what is happening. So, what is music theory and why is it so important? If you’re thinking of moving to Portugal and you have kids, one thing that might be holding you back is the lack of knowledge about the school system in the country. Well, fear no more! In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know.
Are you feeling overwhelmed with your own musical practice, or unsure how to help your students on their musical journey? Do you ever feel like you're staring at a messy room, not knowing where to start cleaning? Don't worry, this week's guide is here to help! We'll give you some tips on how to effectively practice and stay organized, so you can make the most of your musical journey. So let's get started!
Homeschooling and online school can seem very similar at a first glance. They’re both an alternative or complement to traditional schooling. And while they share some commonalities, it’s their differences that will affect a parent’s choice. So, how do they differ and why does that matter?
Homeschooling is a type of education that is parent-led and home-based, as the name suggests. Parents decide, for reasons we’ll discuss, that traditional schooling is not the best option for them, and take their children’s education into their own hands. There is some freedom for the parent to build their own curriculum, though in some states there’s mandatory testing that will condition what’s taught. Online school, also called virtual school or cyber school, is an umbrella term that refers to an educational service whose content is shared only through virtual means. This can include public and private online schools, university sponsored-schools, credit recovery programs, and any sort of specialized education that might be hard to find in your area. This specialized education can include upper education like nursing school and law school, and also education in subjects like language and music. |
