Helping others become bilingual

23/4/2019

I recently read a lovely article recently by a gentleman named Francois Grosjean Ph.D who speaks about the linguistic kindness of strangers and friends to those of us who are trying to learn a new language.  You can read the full article from the link below. 
This article however, got me thinking about culture and how it is shared. Different communities often enjoy keeping their culture alive through food and social gatherings to ensure that all that they love is shared with others. Cultural tolerance in society improves immensely when one has some understanding of the language and cultural idiosyncrasies involved in each different country. We, at VLLC, love teaching language. We have Tutors and conversationalists who LOVE to share their language and culture. Not only does the sharing of their linguistic culture help them keep their own language alive but they also enjoy watching new students gain an insight into their culture to their mutual gain! It is always inspiring to see how other people come to think the way they do, their reasons for learning another language and how we can help them achieve their goal!
Come to VLLC and learn a new language and culture.

Relaxation for mind, body and spirit in Thailand...

9/4/2019

0 Comments

 
For many people, the idea of spending a couple of days at a health retreat is quite appealing.  With hectic lives and good intentions, it can be difficult to find the time to prioritise your health until something goes wrong.  Attending a health retreat can be a chance to improve your health and set some goals to allow you to focus on wellness rather than illness. There are many "health retreats" in Thailand which offer packages for complete mind, body and spiritual restoration.
Picture
Wellness opportunities, as they are called, can include luxuries like detox (I'm sure you would feel great afterward but I don't think the process would be luxurious), stress and burnout, de-stress, replenishing and boosting energy levels, These programs are designed for people in need of the time and place to step back from their life and recover balance, relax, renew their energy and replenish their spirit. You can experience a range of therapies drawn from diverse healing traditions and a variety of holistic activities to de-stress, replenish depleted energy levels and boost the immune system.
Picture
Yoga is another program usually offered at these retreats.  Yoga can increase flexibility and reduce stress, but the practice can do more than help you twist your body into pretzel shapes and find inner peace. These hidden benefits can help you in many ways such as boosted immunity, easing migraines,  sleep better and fighting food cravings.
