Learning languages I wanna talk about learning languages. I’ve lived in many different countries, both in Western Europe, Middle East, and now here in Hong Kong. And during all of that time, I’ve learned five or six different languages, to one degree or another. Before I came to Hong Kong, I lived in Barcelona Spain for ten years. Other things that helped me when I first moved to Spain, were watching the typical kinds of programs we see everyday on channels around the world. Other types of program that helped me learned Spanish quickly were things like game shows, where the same thing happens. As well as that, I used to pick up the Spanish newspapers. Anyway, by far the best practice I ever had was just talking to people in the street, or in shops where I'd rehearse in my head what I wanted to say beforehand, before I went in. It took me a long time to develop a good level of Spanish.
Confused koala discovers his home has been cut down (Photos) This koala looks rather sad. But who can blame him? According to Australia's Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES), the sub-adult male koala was recently discovered sitting atop the remnants of what was once his home in Vittoria State Forest, New South Wales. Although the logging operation was approved by the forestry service, judging by the koala's confused expression, not everyone got the memo. "Koalas would have been moved out of their homes in preparation for planned logging activities," says WIRES general manager, Leanne Taylor. "It is common for koalas to roam back to their home range afterwards and become confused to find nothing there. © Facebook The perplexed marsupial, found to have an injury on its eye, was transfered to a local vet before being relocated once again back into a different patch of forest.

Dogs doing tricks return at halftime of Warriors vs. Nuggets The only thing better than NBA playoff basketball? Dogs doing crazy things. Remember when those awesome trained circus dogs did the halftime show during the game between the Thunder and the Rockets last week? This is the James Bond of dogs. Oh and here's a dog riding a scooter because apparently that is a thing that can happen now. Did I mention that Tony Allen (yes, THAT Tony Allen) wants the dogs to come to Memphis to perform during a halftime show? This also gives me an idea for a reality TV show where Tony Allen lives with super talented dogs and tries to teach them to play basketball and stuff.
