Summary

This multidisciplinary approach to cultural mediation brings together insights from anthropology, sociology, linguistics and intercultural communication to offer a detailed depiction of family life in immigrant Chinese communities. Utilising a strongly contextualised and evidence-based narrative approach to exploring the nature of child cultural mediation, the author provides an insightful analysis of intercultural relationships between children and parents in immigrant families and of the informative aspects of their everyday lives. Furthermore, the family home setting offers the reader a glimpse of a personal territory that researchers often have great difficulty accessing. This ethnographic study will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals working in the areas of intercultural communication, childhood studies, family relations and migration studies.
Available since: 06/23/2014.

    We, Gordon and Cynthia of LightSpeed Spanish, are totally excited to bring you the book that really does demystify the Present and Past Spanish Subjunctive. 
Most students of the Spanish language shy away from this subject and it's no wonder! So many books on the market make it look complex and difficult to understand. 
Yet here, at LightSpeed Spanish, we have developed the perfect system to walk you through the entire range of the Spanish Subjunctive, step by step. 
This comprehensive book uses simple, easy to understand explanations that won't leave you mind boggled, while it guides you through the creation of over 600 Subjunctive sentences. 
By the time you've finished this learning journey we anticipate that you will be more confident, more at ease and far more able to use the Spanish Subjunctive in every facet of your communication. It really is a must buy for any serious student of the Spanish language! 
Un saludo, 
Gordon y Cynthia:)

    So you have to prepare for a speech, huh? Even worse...you have to do it by tomorrow, and you haven't even started?Ah, the humanity! You have to choose your speech topic, come up with your presentation ideas, then write your speech and rehearse your performance to make absolutely sure it's impeccable in front of all those people who will be looking and judging you — and you have to do all of these by the next day.Can you just feel the panic yet? Yikes! Fear not; not all hope is lost. You can create and deliver a memorable, convincing speech all within 24 hours or less (even overnight when your fatigued body wants to throw in the towel and your dreary eyes want to take you to dreamland)."Impossible!" you say? Not necessarily. What is speaking?
