Sinossi

Linguistic Shifts explores the captivating story of language evolution, revealing how languages have changed over millennia through interaction, migration, and cultural exchange. This book examines the mechanisms behind language change, the influence of language contact, and language's role in shaping cultural identity and historical narratives.

 
Did you know that the Great Vowel Shift dramatically altered English pronunciation between the 14th and 18th centuries? Or that borrowing words from other languages can significantly reshape a language's vocabulary and structure?

 
The book adopts a structured approach, beginning with the fundamental principles of language change, such as shifts in pronunciation and grammar. It then investigates the impact of language contact, including borrowing and creolization, before focusing on the relationship between language and culture, looking at how language reflects cultural values.

 
By weaving together insights from linguistics, history, anthropology, and sociology, Linguistic Shifts offers a comprehensive understanding of how languages evolve and influence society. The book progresses across chapters to provide a broad view of how language change reflects societal transformations.

    We broke our new series on learning Bulgarian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
    This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Bulgarian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Bulgarian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Bulgarian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Bulgarian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Bulgarian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Bulgarian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    -Asking about family 
    -Asking about relationship status 
    -Expressing frequency 
    -Talking about spare time activities and hobbies 
    -Using quantifiers/determiners

    Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Russian for pre-intermediate_Part 01 by Audioacademyeu. The course is deigned for  slightly advanced learners who have already studied Russian for one or two years and have mastered the basics.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. Because of its size, the course is divided into two parts. You are now reading the introduction to the first part. In total, you will find 3000 words and practice sentences in this course.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in Russian, in track one you hear the Russian word twice. Next, you have a word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Russian twice Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Russian (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts.  In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to.  In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English and Anna Makarenko and alexander Podolkhov in Russian.Lesson 001 Activities 01Lesson 002 Activities 02Lesson 003 LivingLesson 004 Travelling 01Lesson 005 Travelling 02Lesson 006  DayLesson 007 FoodLesson 008 Communication 1Lesson 009 Communication 2Lesson 010 Communication 3Lesson 011 City
