			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='embed-vimeo' style='text-align:center;'><iframe src='http://player.vimeo.com/video/36741648' width='400' height='300' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hoje, em diversas partes do mundo, tem um clima de romance no ar. Isso porque, em muitos países, se comemora o Valentine&#8217;s Day ou, como é chamado pelos falantes do espanhol, &#8220;Día del amor y la amistad&#8221;.</p>
<p>As origens do Valentine&#8217;s Day (Dia de São Valentim) ou Dia dos Namorados remontam à época do Império Romano.</p>
<p>Há duas versões da história. Uma diz que o Bispo Valentim vinha realizando casamentos cristãos clandestinamente, desafiando a proibição do Imperador Cláudio II, o qual era pagão, tendo sido, por esse motivo preso e condenado à morte.</p>
<p>A segunda versão conta que o mesmo imperador proibira a realização de casamentos durante as guerras por acreditar que os solteiros eram guerreiros mais dedicados.<br />
Seja como for, o Bispo Valentim ficou encarcerado por algum tempo antes de ser executado e, neste período, muitos jovens lhe enviavam flores e bilhetes, o que deu origem ao costume que existe até hoje em muitos países.</p>
<p>Há ainda a lenda de que, enquanto na prisão, Valentim teria se apaixonado pela filha do carcereiro, que era cega. Valetim milagrosamente devolveu a visão à jovem e, dias antes de sua execução (segundo a tradição da Igreja Católica, no dia 14 fevereiro) teria lhe escrito uma mensagem de adeus, assinada como &#8220;Seu Namorado&#8221; ou &#8220;Seu Valentim&#8221;.<br />
O Dia dos Namorados é comemorado em 14 de fevereiro nos Estados Unidos e em muitos países europeus como no Reino Unido, Dinamarca, Noruega, Eslovênia e Grécia. Alguns países latino americanos como México, Equador e Porto Rico, celebram o &#8220;Día del amor y la amistad&#8221; no dia 14 de fevereiro.</p>
<p>Em alguns países o Dia dos Namorados também é associado a São Valentim, mas é comemorado em datas diferentes, como na Romênia, que celebra no dia 24 de fevereiro.<br />
No Brasil não existe uma ligação entre o Dia dos Namorados e a história de São Valentim. Como sabemos, o Dia dos Namorados é celebrado aqui em 12 de junho, por ser a véspera do dia de Santo Antônio, o santo casamenteiro, e também por motivos comerciais, pois o dia 14 de fevereiro é muito próximo do Carnaval e, assim, poderia facilmente ser ofuscado pelo festival mais importante do país.</p>

<p>Chamadas de &#8220;comics&#8221; nos EUA e &#8220;mangás&#8221; no Japão, as revistas em quadrinhos, gibis, histórias em quadrinhos ou, simplesmente, HQs, com sua estética inconfundível, são reconhecidas por pessoas do mundo todo, independente de idade ou nível de escolaridade.</p>
<p>Antes associadas a leitura de baixa qualidade, com o tempo foram ganhando respeito e espaço e acabaram sendo incorporadas por outras áreas, como a literatura, as artes plásticas, a publicidade&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="A Divina Comedia" src="http://www.aquilaidiomas.com.br/news/ADivinaComedia.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="263" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-align:left;">Com elas, ler os grandes clássicos da literatura mundial se tornou mais divertido. Muita gente não tem tempo de ler ou acha que tais livros são muito longos e chatos. É uma questão de começar, mas para os leitores que pretendem iniciar nos clássicos, existem muitas opções, como por exemplo, A Divina Comédia (Dante Alighieri) na versão do designer americano Seymour Chwast e o Auto da Barca do Inferno (Gil Vicente) com os desenhos caricaturais do brasileiro Laudo Ferreira. Estes são apenas alguns dos muitos títulos já disponíveis sendo lançados por diversas editoras.</span></p>

<p>Comemorado na terceira segunda-feira do ano, o Dia de Martin Luther King é um feriado nacional americano, criado em homenagem ao famoso ativista de direitos civis estadunidense. Estabelecida em 1983, é uma data para promover a igualdade de direitos a todos os americanos, independente de sua origem.</p>
<p>O governo incentiva os americanos a se dedicarem neste dia a algum trabalho voluntário em grupos de ação cidadã. Nem todas as escolas fecham e, algumas, aproveitam para ensinar aos alunos sobre o trabalho de Martin Luther King e a sua luta contra o racismo.</p>
<p>Também conhecido como Martin Luther King birthday e Martin Luther King Jr Day, é um feriado relativamente novo e não tem muitas tradições. Em alguns estados, como o Arizona e Idaho é comemorado junto o Dia dos Direitos Humanos.</p>

<p>Ideias podem servir de inspiração para nossas próprias mudanças.<br />
Neste primeiro post do ano, selecionamos alguns projetos motivadores, criativos e o melhor: em inglês. Esperamos que gostem!</p>

<p><a href="http://idiomasaquila.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/playing-for-change1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-969" title="playing-for-change" src="http://idiomasaquila.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/playing-for-change1.png?w=300&#038;h=28" alt="" width="300" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>Você já ouviu falar do Playing for Change? É um projeto musical criado em 2004, que tem o objetivo de promover a paz no mundo, inspirando e unindo pessoas através da música. A ideia partiu da crença de que a música é capaz de superar a distância entre as pessoas. Dirigido por um grupo de documentaristas, o projeto iniciou com um estúdio de gravação móvel, viajando pelo mundo e buscando talentos musicais nas ruas.</p>
<div class='embed-vimeo' style='text-align:center;'><iframe src='http://player.vimeo.com/video/4651674' width='400' height='300' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<p>Em 2007 foi criada a Fundação Playing for Change, que fornece recursos para músicos e suas comunidades ao redor do mundo, viabilizando a educação musical aos que sonham em tê-la. A Fundação acredita que a paz e a mudança são possíveis através da linguagem universal da música.</p>
<p>Depois, foi criada a banda PFC (Playing for Change), formada por músicos de rua de diversos lugares do mundo interpretando canções famosas. O grupo esteve no Brasil em novembro deste ano.</p>
<p>No <a href="http://playingforchange.com/" target="_blank">site</a> há mais informações, vídeos e novidades sobre o Playing for Change.</p>
<p><a href="http://idiomasaquila.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ted_logo.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-972" title="ted_logo" src="http://idiomasaquila.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ted_logo.gif?w=150&#038;h=28" alt="" width="150" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>TED é uma organização sem fins lucrativos dedicada a &#8220;Ideas Worth Spreading&#8221;, ou seja, ideias que vale a pena espalhar. Tudo começou em 1984 como uma conferência anual dedicada à Tecnologia, Entretenimento e Design &#8211; daí TED &#8211; e seu alcance vêm se ampliando desde então. As conferências falam sobre ciência, artes, política, assuntos globais, arquitetura, música e muito mais. Os palestrantes vêm de diversas comunidades e têm até 18 minutos para apresentarem suas ideias de forma inovadora.</p>
<p>A Conferência TED acontece em Long Beach e uma outra ocorre em Edimburgo, na Escócia, e qualquer pessoa pode participar. Já palestraram pessoas conhecidas como Hilllary Clinton, Bill Gates e Al Gore, e outras não tão conhecidas, mas todas com ideias importantes para compartilhar.</p>
<p>Com a contribuição de voluntários para traduzir as palestras, muitas podem ser vistas com legendas em diversos idiomas.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/-S7RLRglhls?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>Para atender às comunidades e organizações locais, foi criado o TEDx. Em São Paulo já ocorreram mais de 20 conferências desde 2009, nas quais educadores, médicos, jornalistas, músicos e ambientalistas falaram sobre questões da atualidade e os trabalhos que vêm desenvolvendo.</p>
<p>No site do <a href="http://www.ted.com/" target="_blank">TED</a> há diversos videos das conferências internacionais e <a href="http://www.tedxsaopaulo.com.br/" target="_blank">aqui</a> é possível assistir  às palestras de uma das conferências feitas em São Paulo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Você está em país de língua inglesa e gostaria de uma recomendação de um restaurante. Aqui vão algumas sugestões, publicadas na revista <a href="http://www.goenglish.com.br/" target="_blank">Go! English</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://aquilaidiomas.com.br/news/Dinner.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="305" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Para pedir sugestão de restaurantes em geral:<br />
</strong><em>- Could you recommend a good restaurant, please?<br />
</em><em>- Do you know of a good restaurant nearby?<br />
</em><em>- Could you suggest a restaurant, please?<br />
</em><em>- Would you be able to suggest a restaurant?</em></p>
<p><strong>Mais informal:</strong><br />
<em>- Do you know a good pub?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Do you have an idea for a restaurant?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Any thoughts on a restaurant?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Any suggestions for a restaurant?</em></p>
<p><strong>A pessoa poderá perguntar detalhes:</strong><br />
<em>- What sort of food do you like?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Do you like Indian food?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Are you looking for somewhere smart?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Do you want something inexpensive?</em></p>
<p><strong>Você pode dizer:</strong><br />
<em>- I prefer to eat local specialities.</em><br />
<em> &#8211; I’m ready to try something original.</em><br />
<em> &#8211; I would prefer something not too expensive.</em><br />
<em> &#8211; I don’t really mind, as long as it’s good.</em></p>
<p><strong>E também perguntar:</strong><br />
<em>- Do I need to reserve?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; When do they start serving?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Do you know if they’re open on Mondays?</em><br />
<em> &#8211; Whereabouts are they?</em></p>
<p><strong>Sugestão de resposta:</strong><br />
<em>- Yes, it’s probably better to reserve. They’re very popular.</em><br />
<em> &#8211; From about eight, I should think.</em><br />
<em> &#8211; I’m afraid I’ve no idea.</em><br />
<em> &#8211; They’re very easy to find. I’ll draw you a little map.</em></p>
<p><strong>Para agradecer a indicação:</strong><br />
<em>- Thanks, that restaurant was a great suggestion.</em></p>

<p>Here are some of the most common reasons that I think people &#8220;get stuck&#8221; and don&#8217;t improve.</p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #1: You don&#8217;t spend enough time on it.</span></h1>
<p>Improving your English ability requires a lot of time. To keep improving, you need to spend at least one hour every day practicing.</p>
<p>If you have a busy life and only study on the weekend, it&#8217;s going to take a very, very long time to become fluent. You&#8217;ve got to do it every day. Even spending ten minutes a day is better than nothing.</p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #2: You&#8217;re too passive.</span></h1>
<p>When I was a kid, I used to think I could learn in my sleep. I read a book in which a character became a genius by listening to lessons while he slept. I thought that was a great method!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, learning doesn&#8217;t work that way. You don&#8217;t learn much just by sitting back and passively absorbing language. You have to actively work on it.</p>
<p>Speaking is one form of active learning. But there are ways to be active even if you don&#8217;t have anyone to speak with:</p>
<p>•    Try to guess how someone&#8217;s going to finish a sentence.<br />
•    Remember new words that you hear and look up their meanings.<br />
•    Talk to yourself<br />
&#8230;and so on.</p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #3: You don&#8217;t review.</span></h1>
<p>This is a big one. A lot of people don&#8217;t review enough.</p>
<p>When you review something before you&#8217;ve forgotten it, it sends a signal to your brain that says &#8220;This is important! Remember it!&#8221; So when you have a choice to learn something new or remember something that you&#8217;ve almost forgotten, go for the review!</p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #4: You rely on your native language too much.</span></h1>
<p>Explanations of English written in your native language can be fun to read. They allow you to easily understand things that would be too complicated to have explained for you in English.</p>
<p>But a translation or an explanation in your native language only gives you knowledge about English. It doesn&#8217;t give you practice. Imagine that you&#8217;re trying to create strong connections between different pieces of English. Putting your native language in between them just gets in the way.</p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #5: You&#8217;re focused on &#8220;mistakes&#8221;.</span></h1>
<p>A lot of English learners want to know when they&#8217;ve made a mistake. The thinking goes that if you can fix all of the mistakes, what&#8217;s left will be perfect.</p>
<p>But here are some reasons why you shouldn&#8217;t focus on mistakes:</p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;"><em>•    There are a lot more wrong ways to say something wrong than right ones.</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#333333;"><em> •    Focusing on mistakes makes you feel shy, which makes you speak less.</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#333333;"><em> •    Some of the mistakes people point out aren&#8217;t really mistakes.</em></span></p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #6: You don&#8217;t put things in context.</span></h1>
<p>When you learn a new word, the first thing you should find out is not &#8220;What does it mean?&#8221; but rather &#8220;When can I use it?&#8221;</p>
<p>Context is super important. That&#8217;s why every PhraseMix lesson starts by describing a situation. That&#8217;s also why I suggest learning phrases rather than words: you need to know how words fit together with each other as well as what they mean.</p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #7: You don&#8217;t really need English.</span></h1>
<p>Sometimes people want to learn English, but in reality they don&#8217;t really need it. I have conversations like this with people a lot:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;"><em><strong>Learner:</strong> &#8220;I can read and write English well, but I have trouble speaking.&#8221;</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#333333;"><em> <strong>Me:</strong> &#8220;You probably just need to spend more time speaking to people.&#8221;</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#333333;"><em> <strong>Learner:</strong> &#8220;But there&#8217;s no one around here who speaks English.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t find anyone to speak with, it makes me wonder: Do you really even need English?</p>
<p>The truth is that people are very good at learning a language when they need to use it. It almost happens automatically. On the other hand, learning a language that you don&#8217;t have a real need for can be really tough.</p>
<h1><span style="color:#3333cc;">Reason #8: You&#8217;re too advanced.</span></h1>
<p>When you first started learning English, you probably improved very quickly. That&#8217;s because it&#8217;s easy to learn the most common English words and grammatical structures. In fact, 75% of spoken English is made up of less than 400 words.</p>
<p>As you improve, you start to move on to less common words and expressions. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them. Learning them all is a slow process.</p>
<p>In other words, it&#8217;s natural to feel like you&#8217;re slowing down. That&#8217;s a sign that you&#8217;re really getting good!</p>
