    This course helps you refine your Spanish pronunciation and develop an authentic accent. Unlike basic language programs that focus on vocabulary and grammar, this one dives deep into phonetics and the cultural nuances that shape Spanish speech. 
    You’ll start with Spanish phonetics, mastering vowel consistency, consonant articulation, and stress patterns. You'll learn the precise tongue placement, resonance, and breath control needed for accurate pronunciation. Key skills include producing pure vowels (without English diphthongs), articulating challenging sounds like the rolled "r" and soft "d," mastering Spanish stress and rhythm, and using natural intonation for statements, questions, and emotions. 
    Through structured practice, including minimal pair exercises, you'll sharpen your ability to distinguish similar sounds and correct common pronunciation mistakes. You’ll also explore how culture influences accents, helping you connect more deeply with Spanish-speaking communities. 
    A media study component teaches you how to improve pronunciation by learning from films, TV, music, and podcasts. The course wraps up with an in-depth look at major dialects, including Castilian, Caribbean, Mexican, Andean, and Rioplatense Spanish. 
    Perfect for intermediate to advanced learners, accent reduction students, cultural immersion travelers, and professionals.

    "I was tired of feeling this way. I was tired of everything, and I just wanted it to end . . . What would happen if I lit the entire place on fire? What if I just stayed perfectly still and did nothing?"Kicking ASSpergers is the triumphant memoir of one man's journey with autism and his quest for happiness and self empowerment despite the many challenges life throws at him. Detailing his struggles with acute anxiety, depression, OCD, psychosis, suicidal ideation, as well as social stigma and medical bias, Jeremy Tolmie moves through his childhood, from the moment he was adopted by loving parents, through brutal school years being bullied and teased, and into adulthood, where he attempts to hold down a job, attend college, and live semi independently. Over time, Jeremy starts to alienate the people in his life with his erratic and dangerous behaviour, and finds himself in and out of various living situations, including psych wards. When he meets Dave Ray, a home share provider, Jeremy starts to learn how to "trust the process" and how not to let autism rule his life.Written with humour, honesty, and compassion, Kicking ASSperger's breaks down stigma and dismantles myths and assumptions about autism. This unique voice tells an inspirational story of friendship, trust, and perseverance in the face of adversity.

    Empire of God - How the...

    Western civilization is generally regarded as the child of Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome. That is, in the West, our philosophical and political thought is derived from that of the ancient Greeks; our Christian religion comes from the Jewish religion, and both of these came to us via the Roman Empire. 
     
     
     
    Western society has other forefathers as well: we would be unwise to give the Byzantine Empire short shrift. The ways in which it has influenced our world for the good, and indeed, created the parameters of our society at its healthiest and strongest, are insufficiently appreciated today. 
     
     
     
    If the United States were to last as long as the Roman Empire, including its Byzantine period, it would have to continue as an independent country until the year 2899. To maintain a unified nation state for over eleven hundred years is a remarkable achievement by any standard, and the Romans accomplished it while facing existential threats and efforts to extinguish their polity during virtually every period of their existence. Now, nearly six hundred years after the demise of the empire, its influence still resonates in a number of fields. 
     
     
     
    There is no arguing with success. It's time we took notice.
