This Spanish Grammar online topic covers Reflexive Verbs and Reflexive Pronouns. In Spanish, a verb is considered reflexive if the subject (the performer of the action) and the object (the receiver of the action) are the same.
Here’s an example of a reflexive verb being used in English:
I wash myself.
In the above sentence the verb wash is considered reflexive because the subject or the one performing the action (I) and the object or the one receiving the action (myself) are the same. On the other hand, if I said I wash the baby, the verb wash is no longer reflexive because the subject or the one performing the action (I) and the object or the one receiving the action (baby) are not the same.
Spanish reflexive verbs consist of a verb and a reflexive pronoun. The following are reflexive pronouns or objects of reflexive verbs.
me
myself te
yourself (tú form) se
yourself (usted form) nos
ourselves se
themselves, yourselves
When there is just one verb in the sentence, the reflexive pronoun must come before the reflexive verb.
Me baño. I wash myself
However, when there are two verbs in the sentence, the reflexive pronoun either comes right before the first verb or follows the second verb.
Quiero bañarme. I want to wash myself.
Me quiero bañar. I want to wash myself.
Here are some examples using reflexive verbs.
Me afeito I shave myself
Te duchas You take a shower
Se llama Juan He calls himself John
Nos dormimos We fall asleep
No nos sentamos We don’t sit down
Se enojan They get mad
Se levantan All of you get up
Te cepillas los dientes You brush your teeth.
Literally, los dientes means the teeth and not your teeth. Since we are using the reflexive pronoun te it is obvious whose teeth we are talking about.
Here some common reflexive verbs in Spanish.
acostarse
to go to bed afeitarse
to shave oneself bañarse
to bathe oneself casarse (con alguien) to get married, to marry someone cepillarse
to brush oneself despertarse (ie)
to wake up desvestirse (i)
to get undressed divertirse (ie)
to enjoy oneself dormirse (ue)
to fall asleep ducharse
to take a shower enfermarse
to get sick lavarse
to wash oneself levantarse
to get up llamarse
to be named, to be called mirarse
to look at oneself peinarse
to comb (one’s hair) quitarse (la ropa)
to takeoff (one’s clothes) secarse
to dry one’s self sentarse (ie)
to sit down sentirse (ie)
to feel vestirse (i)
to get dressed
Now let’s try a few exercises. Translate the following into Spanish. The answers follow the questions.
1. My name is Patrick 2. You brush your hair every evening. (Use tu form) 3. You can wash your feet. (Use tú form) 4. Do you take a shower or do you take a bath in the morning? (Use the usted form) 5. He takes off his pants. 6. We wash our hands before dinner. 7. The wake up very late.
1. Me llamo Patrick. 2. Te cepillas el pelo cada noche. 3. Te puedes lavar los pies. Puedes lavarte los pies. 4. ¿Se ducha o se baña en la mañana? 5. Se quita los pantalones. 6. Nos lavamos las manos antes de la cena. 7. Se despiertan muy tarde.

What You Need to Know about a Forex Currency Trading System
Finding a forex currency trading system may seem like a daunting task to anyone who is just starting off trading currencies. Everywhere you look you see an endless variety of different forex trading systems.
The key is not to give into the feeling of dispair one might experience when trying to determine which forex trading system is best. That’s because there is no one best forex trading system.
You see, forex trading strategies need to be adapted to the individual trader.
Some of us like to trade on fundamental analysis — in the case of forex, this would mean those people who study and understand such things as interest rates, keeping a pulse on the world’s geopolitical climate, bank policies, statements made by politicians, and more.
Others like to base their forex currency trading system on technical analysis and charting in the hopes of predicting future moves based on what currencies have already done in the past.
And yet others like to employ a forex trading system that is a combination of both fundamental and technical analysis.
Some currency pros recommend that you keep your forex trading strategies simple, while others recommend multiple charts and a plethora of forecasting tools.
But just remember: nobody has the “right” answer. You must find the system out there are works for your personality and then cultivate your own trading style.
Whatever you decide on for your forex currency trading system, however, you almost certainly can’t go wrong by subscribing to some of the forex newsletters written by professional currency traders. These newsletters will offer both fundmantal and technical analysis of the markets.
Some lean more to fundamental trade indicators and others to technical…so pick whichever style you like best.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the currencies market is constantly changing, so your FOREX currency trading system must be able to change, as well. Rates of exchange are affected by many things the successful trader must be able to keep an eye on these things, somehow.
Statistics show that 90-95% of currency speculators lose their initial investment in the three to six months following that first trade. This shouldn’t dissaude you from getting involved in the exciting game of forex trading….but it should at least concern you enough to want to equip yourself with the best knowledge possible before taking the plunge.
In addition to developing your own forex currency trading system, take advantage of some of the generous free offers by various online forex brokerages that allow you to trade in real time with paper money so you can get the hang of how things work.
Then, take a course or two offered by some of the professional currency traders and subscribe to some of their newsletters. In time, you will probably develop your own forex trading strategies and hopefully attain the success that you seek.
Learn to speak Spanish and doors will open that are otherwise closed. First, learning another language is a great way to stretch your learning capacity. Second, it just makes sense.
If you live in the United States, it is in your best interest to learn Spanish. English may be the “official” language, but a large part of the population speaks Spanish. While many believe that all Spanish speakers should speak English because they have come to an English speaking country, believing it will not get them anywhere. The majority of Spanish speakers learn English, too. There is nothing wrong with meeting them halfway. There are areas within the U.S. with heavy concentrations of Spanish speakers. If you do not know how to speak Spanish, you will miss out on much of what people have to say. If you firmly believe they should speak English, learning Spanish is one way to help them your language.
The ability to speak another language will often mean better pay at work. Bilingual people take on more responsibility because they can communicate with more people. It may get you the job in the first place. If a company needs to fill a position and has people with similar educational and experience backgrounds, being bilingual could be the only edge you have over other applicants.
Of all the major languages being spoken throughout the world, Spanish is the fourth in line. In fact, of all the languages, English and Spanish are the two preferred languages to learn as a second language.A French person who is bilingual but does not speak English is likely to speak Spanish as a second language. Travel becomes easier when you know more than one language!
If you learn Spanish as a second language, other languages will come easier to you. This is because of the Latin origins of Spanish. You will hear it said that French and Italian are easier to comprehend once you have learned to speak Spanish. The same goes for English.
If your children have a choice of languages to learn and they already speak English, Spanish is a great choice. The older a person is when they start to learn another language, the longer it will take them to get proficient. It is not impossible, by any means – do not let your age stop you. Still, the younger generation should be encouraged to learn another language while they are still young. Spanish is a good one with which to begin.

Blogging, the hottest trend in online publishing right now, is currently spreading like wildfire across the Internet.
A cross between an online journal and a bulletin board, everyone from rock starts, politicians, business leaders and your average “Joe” or “Jane” can instantly become a center of influence online using blogs.
But, as with any social interaction, certain rules apply (my grandma calls them manners) in order to be viewed as behaving “properly.”
One of the things that give blogging such strong appeal as an online publishing method revolves around “comments.”
Blogs that allow “comments” enable readers to respond and elaborate on the information posted by the blog owner.
These comments and the free exchange of information, opinions, links, and new ideas creates the dynamic and growing content that makes blogging such a popular online activity for both publishers and readers.
However, rules and unwritten customs about the proper use of “comments” on a specific blog are also where most of the problems and controversy will arise.
Since a successful blog eventually becomes a community of people (albeit in cyberspace), proper social behavior is critical to be an effective and accepted member of the community.
Keep these basic rules in mind when approaching a new blog that allows commenting by readers so you won’t find yourself on the wrong end of a scolding by people who operate with a different set of rules than you.
As with any social circle, violating the group’s rules and customs will instantly cause a negative backlash.
** Keep It Relevant **
Stay on topic with the post you’re commenting about in a blog.
Nothing will earn you the wrath and disdain of your fellow posters and the blog owner faster than posting an off-topic comment.
** Watch What Others Do **
Different blogs operate under different rules. What rates acceptable in one blog would earn you a verbal thrashing in another.
Before posting (especially if you have not posted to a specific blog before), look to see the types and quality of posts others make regularly.
Are they long or short?
Do they contain a link to the person’s website?
Is there a “signature” under their name?
** Be Polite **
It’s fine to disagree with people when making a comment, whether it’s the blog’s author or a comment made by another reader.
It is not, however, acceptable to launch a personal attack on anyone or make nasty comments in someone else’s blog.
If you feel the need to do so, do it in your own blog.
It’s the same principle of you can say whatever you want in your own house, but when you’re in someone else’s house, you act right (and better than you do at home).
** You Can’t Respond to Everyone **
If you operate a blog and someone asks a question, try to respond, but both sides should understand that you can’t respond 100% of the time.

Education, Would you Hire Sir Isaac Newton, the Introvert with the Bubbly Personality?

I’ve been learning a lot about Sir Isaac Newton because he personifies some of the outstanding introvert characteristics that you can learn to prize in yourself, your introverted child or your introverted lover. If you’re an employer, you can also learn to identify two of these qualities in job interviews to your advantage. Introverts make terrific employees. These are the qualities: Sir Isaac Newton could concentrate like a Concentratin’ Fool. He loved his dog Diamond. And he was a modest man. He had these three things in common with most introverts.
Sir Isaac Newton was born in 1642 in England. He is considered by some to be the most brilliant man that ever lived. Other contenders are Mozart and Goethe. Newton is credited with developing calculus and discovering the Laws of Gravitation and the Laws of Motion (more correctly, the “Three Laws of Motion underlying Classical Mechanics”). You probably learned in school at about the same age as he discovered these laws that an apple fell on his head which got him thinking. As the story goes, he wondered why the apple fell and the Moon didn’t. His 23rd year was a phenomenon, an Annus Mirabilis. Later he also wrote Principia Mathematica in 1868-87 and Optics in 1704.
Young Newton was a real seeker. As a young person he wrote in his notebook, “Amicus Plato; amicus Aristoteles; magis amica veritas” which means “Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but the truth is my best friend.” Latin was the language in which the educated class in Europe communicated with one another.
Some of Newton’s personal handwritten notebooks were deposited at the the Pierpont Morgan Museum and are now online, well worth a look.
Newton was recently in the news because of his Bibles. Like most introverts, Newton read a lot and one of the books he read a lot was the Bible. He had at least thirty of them. I’ve been running a book survey on my website for introverts. One of the questions I ask is whether people dog ear and write in their books. From the results of my survey, most people wouldn’t dream of it but Newton’s answer would be “yes”. You can take the book survey here .
In a recent interview with Patricia L. Paddey of Bible Network News, Dr. Stephen Snobelen, assistant professor of the history of science and technology at University of King’s College in Halifax, said, “We actually have 30 of [Newton's] personal Bibles at Trinity College, Cambridge that can be examined…. His personal Bible that he used for looking up references is a very small, hand-held Bible. That is a remarkable artefact [sic] to handle physically, because you can actually see the dog-eared pages. You can see the soiling. You can see this physical testimony of a lifetime.” Dr. Snobelen is one of only a handful of academics worldwide who now study [Newton's Bibles and other non scientific manuscripts] for insights into his theology. These papers were willed to Cambridge University by the economist John Maynard Keynes in 1946.
Newton was an intense reader. “While it is possible that some dog-earing was the work of subsequent owners,” Snobelen continues, “it is evident from the fact that most instances of it point quite precisely to passages of demonstrable importance to Newton that the vast majority is his own. He used dog-ears not merely to mark pages but to align the page corners with specific passages of interest (hence the fact that pages may have their corners turned down, up, or both).”
To see a list of Newton’s alchemical works with precise evidence of the dog earing and notations, go here.
According to the London Daily Telegraph, Newton was consumed by apocalyptic research and reluctantly predicted that the world would end in 2060. “Thousands of Newton’s papers, which had lain in a trunk in the house of the Earl of Portsmouth for 250 years, were sold by Sotheby’s in the late 1930s. John Maynard Keynes … bought many of the texts on alchemy and theology. But much of the material went to an eccentric collector, Abraham Yahuda, and was stored in the Hebrew National Library. It was among these documents that the date was found.”
Sir Isaac Newton was an INTJ introvert. There are eight different types of introverts, according to Keirsey Personality Theory and Myers-Briggs Temperament Inventory, both based on the Jungian approach to personality interpretation. Newton was an INTJ Introvert, called the Mastermind. This is a rare one per cent of the population according to estimates by the Keirsey Temperament Theory.
According to Keirsey, “Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful.” Other famous INTJ introverts are Niels Bohr and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Not all introverts are brilliant scientists and metaphysicians, but there are three things most have in common. Focus/concentration, love of pets and modesty are typical of most introverts.
Newton’s ability to concentrate was just amazing … just like your favorite introvert; however, most of us have more social awareness than the British genius. Here are a couple of anecdotes, the first taken from T. Moore’s Memoirs, Journals, and Correspondence.
“Newton invited a friend to dinner but then forgot the engagement. When the friend arrived, he found the scientist deep in meditation, so he sat down quietly and waited. In due course one dinner was brought up. Newton had forgotten to tell his servant a guest was expected. Newton continued to be abstracted. The friend drew up a chair and, without disturbing the host, consumed the dinner. After he had finished, Newton came out of his reverie, looked with some bewilderment at the empty dishes, and said, ‘If it weren’t for the proof before my eyes, I could have sworn that I have not yet dined.’”
Not only can your favorite introvert concentrate like this, s/he needs to concentrate like this. If there’s one thing designed to stress your introverted pal to the max, it’s interruptions. That’s why we don’t like and I mean h a t e telephones and especially cells.
Here’s another amusing example of Newton’s ability to concentrate. On his way home from town one day, Newton dismounted and walked his horse by its bridle so it could rest. The anecdoter continues, “As always his mind wandered. Perhaps he was thinking about the four wheel carriage he’d just built or the system of shorthand he’d created or maybe he was just watching the sunlight on the grass and wondering what made the grass green … miles and hours later he arrived at home not even aware that the horse had long ago slipped out of its bridle and he had walked the whole way back, alone.”
Do you know anyone like this? If you try to change them, you’ll destroy one of their greatest gifts, the gift to concentrate, and give them nothing in return. Please let introverts be more consciously introverted and don’t make them try to be extroverted to have your respect. Liza’s father was a brilliant introvert. They bought him umbrellas by the dozen because he left them on the Chicago “L” going to and from work in the rain. He always left them. Always.
Another common characteristic of introverts is their love of pets. Sometimes a pet is the introvert’s best companion. N*O S*M*A*L*L T*A*L*K.
Sir Isaac Newton had a dog named Diamond who has become famous right along with him. I guess he was pretty smart. Newton once bragged to his friend Wallis about his little dog Diamond. ‘My dog Diamond knows some mathematics. Today he proved two theorems before lunch.’. ‘Your dog must be a genius,’ said Wallis. ‘Oh I wouldn’t go that far,’ replied Newton. ‘The first theorem had an error and the second had a pathological exception.’” I know, you had to be there.
An even better story concerned the night Diamond knocked over the candle on Newton’s desk, starting a fire that destroyed records of many years’ research (!). Legend has it that Newton, viewing the destruction, said only, “O Diamond, Diamond, thou little knowest the damage thou hast done.” (R. Hendrickson’s The Literary Life and other sources … this is a very popular tail, I mean tale!)
Last but not least, Newton was a modest man considering his accomplishments and intelligence. Asked one day how he had come to make his remarkable discoveries, he replied, “By always thinking about them.”
If you’re hiring someone for a job, it would be good to know this characteristic of introverts lest you underestimate their capabilities based on their modest but accurate representation of themselves and hire a showy extrovert with half the talent instead(!) Introverts lack the desire to dress their own windows, a quality you will come to appreciate if you hire one. Instead of window dressing, they will focus, concentrate and produce.
Look for these qualities when interviewing an introvert: ability to concentrate and modest, accurate communication. As for the pets, they might even have a photo in their wallet.
Some books you can read to learn more about Newton’s non scientific religious and alchemical studies are Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist, and Teacher by John Hudson Tiner and The Foundations of Newton’s Alchemy : Or,’The Hunting of the Greene Lyon’ by Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs.
An interesting discussion connecting Newton, the Theosophical Society and the author’s PhD research into the deep ecology movement and its links with the ancient wisdom tradition was presented by Dara Tatray at Australian National University in September 2002. Go here.

There is much written about the ways in which children today are overscheduled. Between school, homework, sports, dance, band, and community service projects, it’s difficult to carve out even an hour a day for family time. Still, many parents find themselves considering whether or not to get tutoring for their children. It’s rarely an easy decision to make, so here are five tips to help you determine when it’s appropriate to engage the services of a tutor.
1. Raising Grades. Tutors can help children raise their grades. If your child is falling behind in math, for example, a math tutor can work with your child to help him or her understand the curriculum and become better prepared for class work and for tests. If your child is falling behind in several subjects, tutoring can help him or her raise his or her overall grade point average.
2. Acceleration. Tutoring can be an excellent tool for gifted and accelerated students who either need more advanced coursework or who could benefit from work with more depth and complexity. Keeping a gifted or accelerated learner engaged and interested in schoolwork can sometimes be challenging, and tutors can provide your child with the stimulation he or she needs to stay on track in school.
3. Increasing Self-Confidence. There are any number of reasons why a child may develop a defeatist attitude or lack self-confidence in an academic setting. Whatever the reason, this lack of confidence can negatively impact his or her attitude towards school, choice of friends, and grades. The right tutoring program can help your child become motivated to succeed and feel confident in his or her ability to master the class curriculum. In turn, that confidence will positively impact other areas of his or her life.
4. Instilling Self-Discipline. Children often fall behind because they haven’t developed good note-taking habits, good study habits, and good homework habits. Tutors can teach your child how to succeed in school both through being enthusiastic role models and through teaching specific strategies for listening and studying.
5. Test Preparation. Today’s competitive academic environment means that students must score well on tests like the SAT, ACT, and GRE in order to be accepted to the schools of their choice. Tutoring can help students both master the material that is likely to be covered on the tests, as well as teach students proven test taking skills that will ensure that their knowledge is reflected in their test scores.
If you decide to engage the services of a tutor, keep in mind that there are many different types of services available. There are, for example, franchises that require you to drop off your child for one-on-one or group tutoring. There are also companies that provide a tutor who will come in to your home for individual tutoring. Finally, there are companies that provide one-on-one online tutoring. Given most families’ busy schedules, companies that offer in-home or online tutoring provide the most flexibility – and often the greatest returns – on your investment in your child’s future.

Of course, kindergarten represents an environment for your four or five year old to discover the beautiful world around her. Preschool and kindergarten are meant to teach the kids how to share and care, make new friends and spend some time on their own, away from the warm cocoon of parents and home. Of course, kindergarten is meant to be a home away from home for the tiny tots. It is a great opportunity for them to learn new things on their own, ask questions and get the answers.

Dissertation Writing: Basic Steps
Writing a dissertation is a stressful time. But here are some basic guidelines that might help with dissertation writing:
1. Go over possible ideas. It helps, if you write them down. Choose carefully, and do not eliminate topics too quickly. Be specific and remember: the narrower, the better. A theme too wide does not do help in writing dissertations.
2. In writing a dissertation time management is important. Dissertation writing also supposes that you are familiar with scholars that might help you on your long way. It becomes especially essential once the topic is chosen.
3. When you are done with researches, it is time for dissertation thesis writing. Remember that a thesis is a central idea of any dissertation. Dissertation thesis writing is something you should think about all the time. When writing a dissertation, mind that neither of the following sentences should contradict your main argument. On the contrary, every new paragraph should unroll the thesis step by step.
4. While writing your dissertation, make sure that all the notes are in the correct order. It is important to organize detailed notes of all the references to be ready for writing an annotated bibliography (see below the tips on how to write an annotated bibliography).
5. Schedule your work carefully. Dissertation writing is not a one-day work. Check your timetable and mark the days you can commit to writing your dissertation. Give yourself from 1 to 2 hours of work on these days. The best help with dissertation writing is your time. You know how it sometimes goes: today you think there is enough time, but next thing you find out is that the deadline is right here, and you are not done with writing dissertation.
6. Go on with writing a dissertation by starting a draft. During the dissertation writing you can print out parts of it on colored sheets of paper, read them out loud, and correct the mistakes.
7. Do not forget about the structure while writing your dissertation. It must have an introduction, main body and a conclusion. Table of Contents and Sources are vital, too.
8. Use the table of contents to improve your manuscript. Dissertation writing is a complex and long process. It is natural, if you leave something out. That is why it is important to check yourself. While writing your dissertation, check with the table of contents to fill in the blank parts or those places that need to be improved.
9. The Suggestion for Further Research section is the last one you finish in writing a dissertation. Usually by this time you are exhausted. Probably this is the reason why it usually does not make any sense. Dissertation writing suggests that you earn some experience and be able to put forward reasonable propositions. After writing a dissertation go over it to make sure that your propositions are correct.
10. Now it’s time to do the last chapter in your dissertation writing. After you’ve had a chance to write your dissertation all the way to the end, turn back to Chapter One. Reread Chapter One carefully with the insight you now have from having completed Chapter Five.
11. How to write an annotated bibliography? It should include explanation of the purpose of the cited work, theoretical basis of the authors argument, work’s intended audience, your own brief impression. Writing an annotation may help improve the impression from your work.
12. Be prepared to defend your dissertation. Writing a dissertation is only half of the job. It is better to attend 1 or 2 defenses to see how things are going. Be open-minded, not aggressive.
If you take into consideration all of the above, writing a dissertation may be a little easier for you.
