“Super-AIMS” Math Test To Include Physics and Chemistry

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008




Several situations in physics and chemistry use algebra and geometry anyways. SO, I might as well include physics and chemistry question in the independent completely different way to test student achievement in high school.

I have already released the sample questions from the new test to some teachers in the field. Great feedback so far. Thank you all.

I will not release the new sample test questions to the public until later because the Arizona Department of Education “finds innovative streams of thought” from this site. I want to fine-tune then copyright the first edition of the exam.

More details later.

Girlfriend in Mandarin Chinese is — nǚ péng yŏu — But how do you prononce it? Use the Primezero i18n Terminal

Friday, February 22nd, 2008



How do you pronounce girlfriend in Mandarin Chinese? Well, we already read it from the title, but do we understand how to say it.
For your learning methods, you have a choice:

  • the usual visual method with Hanyu Pinyin — nǚ péng yŏu – like in textbooks. that’s boring and you are not sure if your pronunciation is correct.

    -OR-

  • the audio method using the Primezero i18n Terminal: nǚ péng yŏu, where you can go at your own pace and practice the pronunciation. As you practice more, your kinesthetic learning style is also used.

    this audio method that i call “pinyintype vocalization” is useful for documenting rescue languages.
