You will be responsible for the operations of the restaurant and know company policies as well as do paperwork. This may include calculating budgets, payroll, and coming up with schedules. You must be knowledgeable of everything that goes on in the restaurant because when the manager is either out sick or on vacation, you will step in and play the role of manager. That means you will be responsible for overseeing the work of a number of people. You will be expected to not only fill in for the manager but also for a waitress, bartender, host, or help in the kitchen. It’s important to know that the role is versatile when needed. You may also be expected to lead training and hire staff. via Pixabay Education requirements Depending on where you apply, you typically do not need a degree or even a high school diploma to become a restaurant assistant manager. The skills and knowledge needed for the role can’t be learned in a classroom but from the experience of working in a restaurant. It can, however, put you ahead of other applicants if you do have a degree in hospitality or management. Expected pay Different than a waitress, restaurant assistant managers are paid salary on average around $36,200 per year. You may be able to receive bonuses and pay raises depending on the company or restaurant. via Pixabay Customer service Just because you are responsible for operations behind the scenes doesn’t mean you get to skip out on offering excellent customer service as a restaurant assistant manager. When there is an unhappy customer and they demand to speak to the manager, this responsibility may fall on you depending on if the manager is busy or not. Your job is to calmly address the situation and satisfy the customer the best you can. via Pixabay Multi-skilled As a restaurant assistant manager, you will be pulled in all different directions throughout your shift. The manager may need you to assist them with some tasks or a waitress may have a complaint about the restaurant that you need to address. It’s essential that you are able to multitask and have multiple skills in order to fulfill all of the necessary duties handed to you. If you need to stand in for a waitress, you must know how to take orders, turn them into the kitchen, and take care of customers at the table. via Pixabay Leadership Holding a higher position in a company requires you to oversee the work of employees and staff. This means that you are responsible for making sure the wait staff and cooks are doing their jobs well and efficiently. Your team should look up to you and respect the authority that you hold. This also means that it is necessary for you to have excellent leadership skills such as listening attentively to your staff, delegating work, and offering a good work experience. via Pixabay Office work If you were working on the floor of the restaurant before, as the assistant manager, you will most likely be in the office more often. Get used to doing paperwork and working on the computer rather than interacting with customers. This part of the job also requires you to be very organized and good at prioritizing tasks. Be prepared to sometimes stay late after the restaurant closes to sit in the office and review numbers from the day while the staff goes home to their families. Room for advancement A benefit of being a restaurant assistant manager is that there is room for advancement. If you enjoy working in the restaurant industry and want to gain more responsibility and an increase in pay, you may look into becoming the restaurant manager. After years of experience in the food industry, you may even decide to open your own restaurant. After working in a management position at a restaurant, this gives you a great advantage for opening a successful restaurant.

Shanghai Expo and May Holidays

Shanghai Expo and May Holidays The World Expo is about to start in Shanghai, and we are excited to be here. Shanghai has been under construction for years in preparation for this event, and now the world will be able to see the results of that work. This years Expo theme is Urban Development, and there will be numerous pavilions dedicated to how we can improve the way we live. We think this theme is very timely, given the level of urbanization in China, and the problems it faces in terms of sustainable economic growth. Events like the Expo present a great opportunity for people to exchange ideas about these increasingly universal issues. italki is also trying to facilitate the exchange of ideas, virtually through the internet. Even though technology has driven the costs of communications to almost zero, language still represents a significant barrier in communication. Its hard to imagine how people can work well together to tackle global issues if they cannot communicate well with each other. If you are coming to the Expo (or are just curious), try posting it on your blackboard or in your notebook. Many italki users are interested in meeting in person, and there are lots of members in Shanghai (where we are based)! If you also happen to be in town (for the Expo or otherwise), please come and stop by we like using Skype, but wed love to meet you in person!

The Dos and Donts of Learning Romance Languages

The Dos and Donts of Learning Romance Languages The Dos and Donts of Learning Romance Languages Romance languagesâ€"just the name can make you swoon.But while its true that Romance languages like Italian and French have reputations for being a bit seductive, they actually dont earn their name from  romantic connotations.Instead, they all derive from the language of the Roman Empire: Latin. The Empires influence still holds today as almost a billion people  speak a Romance language as their native language. 300 million more speak a Romance language as their second language.So why not join them?Before you get started, though, decide which language youll learn first. Well show you what to consider. Then, take note of the essential dos and donts of learning Romance languages. Even though they have their differences, there are some standard rules you can use to quicken your learning. Which Romance Language Should I Learn First?Are you taking a trip to a country that speaks a certain language? Do you want to communicate better with someone in particular, or need to learn a language for work? Does one language just sound particularly beautiful to you? Knowing what you want to do with a language can be as important as choosing the language to learn.If you have a definite answer to any of the above questions, then that makes things easy. The first Romance language you should learn is the one you want to learn!If you know you want to learn a Romance language or several Romance languages, but one isnt necessarily more useful or captivating to you than another, then  we recommend you start with Spanish first. Its one of the most widely spoken Romance languages, which means youll have a greater chance of putting it to good use right away. Plus, its popularity means it might be more familiar to your ears.We also recommend you learn Romanian last, as it has the fewest similarities to the other Romance languages. Between Spanish and Romanian, order the others (French, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan and Occitan) based on your strengths, weaknesses and interests. Note that many people choose to learn Spanish, Italian and French first with Portuguese close behind.Some people plan on learning Romance languages simultaneously. For those people, be sure to pair your languages well. You could pair a harder language with an easier one, to challenge yourself while preventing burnout. You could also pair two similar languages to build your vocabulary through cognates.The Dos and Donts of Learning Romance LanguagesThe Dos of Learning Romance LanguagesDo: Pay Attention to Gender as You Learn New WordsUnlike English, nouns in Romance languages have a grammatical gender. A words gender determines what articles you use with it and how it agrees with other words (for instance, an adjective that describes a feminine noun getting a feminine ending). Think of the gender as part of the actual word when learning nouns.For example, if youre planning to label objects around your house to build your everyday vocabulary, use color coding for different genders. Or to make i t even easier on yourself, check out VocabularyStickers, which are pre-made, durable labels that already come with color coding for gender (as well as for plurals). VocabularyStickers come with more than 130 labels for everything from utensils to office supplies to your clothes and much more.Sometimes the ending of a word will help signal its gender or plurality status. Spanish nouns, by way of example, often end with an  o or  or for masculine nouns, and  a or  ora for feminine ones.Not all nouns follow this rule in each Romance language, though! Some words either give no indication of gender, or may even have an ending that doesnt properly correlate with the general gender rule of that language.Do: Learn the Regular Verb EndingsThere are three verb types in most Romance languages (Romanian has four) depending on how the infinitive of the verb is spelled. For example, French regular verbs end in either  -er, -ir  or -re;  Spanish regular verbs end in either ar, er or ir.Identifying the type of regular verb is crucial to understanding how to conjugate it. Youll need to take off the verb ending to get the verb stem, and add the appropriate ending depending on conjugation rules for that type of verb.Verb conjugation is one of the first concepts youll encounter in your Romance language studies and it can be one of the most frustrating to master. Making a habit of finding the infinitive ending will make the complicated concept of verb conjugation that much easier as you move forward.Pro-tip:  one easy way to find the infinitive ending for any regular verb in French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese is to search for the last  -r  in the word.  Then its just a matter of dropping that letter along with the vowel that comes immediately before it (and the one afterward if it applies).Do: Study Some Latin and IPAIf you plan on learning all the Romance languages, adding yet another language may seem daunting. However, learning a bit of Latin will prove worthwhile. Since L atin forms the base for all the Romance languages, its a great way to find the patterns throughout each.Furthermore, learning a bit of the International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA, will improve your ability to comprehend and correctly pronounce any Romance language. IPA is a standardized set of symbols that represent syllable and word sounds.Many dictionaries write the IPA next to its definitionâ€"even English dictionaries. Theyre often more accurate than the phonetic guides in phrasebooks as well. Plus, the sounds for IPA cover all Romance languages with the same symbols.So, as with Latin, if you learn IPA, youll have tips that apply to all the Romance languages.The Donts of Learning Romance LanguagesDont: Forget Article AgreementOnce you know the gender of a noun in a Romance language, then you have to add the article. Romance languages will specify a chair or the chair by using an article that agrees in gender with the noun at hand.Articles will also signal whether a noun is plura l or singular. Take this simple example from French:Le chien (The dog)Les chiens (The dogs)Notice how the article changes in French, but not in English?Articles can be very tricky for English speakers since English doesnt have gendered words or changes in articles from singular to plural words. So dont forget to pay attention to article agreement as youre writing or speaking in your target Romance language, right from the get-go!The more you practice, the more natural itll become.Dont: Instinctively Pronounce Words with Unclear VowelsOne of the reasons Romance languages are considered so beautiful is due to their pure vowels, also known as monophthongs, which are vowel sounds that remain the same throughout their pronunciation. In other words, you dont need to glide your voice to speak a pure vowel. This differs from diphthongs, which are two vowel sounds pressed together to make one sound.English speakers, and American ones in particular, tend to not enjoy a pure vowel.  Nearly eve ry Romance language does though. To identify this, take a listen to some native speakers, then compare it to non-native speakers reading a similar text. Maybe even read a text out loud yourself. What differences can you hear in the pronunciation?You can also watch native speakers to see how they form their vowels. Often theyll have much rounder lips than the average English speaker, for example.A great resource for this type of practice is FluentU, where you can watch authentic videos in your target language to learn it the way native speakers use it. The videos (including everything from movie trailers to funny YouTube clips to news broadcasts) come with interactive captions that you can click for instant, in-context translations of any words you dont recognize.That means not only will you be creating good pronunciation habits as you watch these videos, youll also actively build your vocabulary.Best of all, you can take your learning anywhere with the FluentU mobile app for iOS  or Android!Dont: Rely on English GrammarWhen learning any language, its tempting to build a sentence word-by-word based on the sentence structure we already know in English. But remember that Romance languages are structured differently. Adjectives, for example, often come after the noun in question rather than before it.Some verbs also dont translate well from English. In English, we say to be for many sentences where Romance languages say to have. We are hungry in English, but we have hunger in some Romance languages.Knowing these changes can make or break how quickly you learn a language and how fluent you become.Dont: Substitute One Romance Language for AnotherThe temptation to use cognates from one Romance language to replace the correct word in another can seem so great sometimes. After all, many native speakers of one Romance language can often understand you even if you accidentally speak another language. Still, its embarrassing at best and culturally insensitive at worst to do so.With any Romance language you learn, take careful note of the differences between them as well as the similarities to keep them sorted in your head. Learn about the culture to help you identify these differences better. Itll help you branch out into other kinds of languages in the future as well.Do these rules apply to all Romance languages?The short answer is yes. The beauty of Romance languages lies in their similar forms. However, each language requires emphasis on certain elements. French pronunciation focuses heavily on nasal sounds and dropped consonants, while the Italian language only has five vowel sounds and doubled consonants. Spanish and Portuguese use varied accent symbols when writing, which differ from the accents in Romanian.Every language comes with its own set of dos and donts. Remembering them can greatly enhance your learning process. And One More ThingLet FluentU inspire your Romance language learning. FluentU makes it possible to learn languages  from m usic videos, commercials, news and inspiring talks, and you can currently use it to learn French, Spanish, Italian or any combination of those.

Daily Telegraph recommends us to tutors

Daily Telegraph recommends us to tutors Delighted to see the Daily Telegraph has recommended First Tutors in their piece on how to earn extra cash in the recession. Slightly disappointed to see they've also recommended two sites with no contact address/phone and in one case, hidden WHOIS details. We all have competitors; that's life and actually it is good for companies because it makes us pull our socks up and focus on doing a good job, but please, lets recommend the credible ones in the national press, not the dodgy ones. A word of warning to tutors and parents: pause before you enter your personal contact details and information about your children into a website without any contact details and where the site owner has gone to extreme lengths to hide their identity. You can see photos of our founders in the 'About us' section because we've got nothing to hide. There are numerous seemingly dormant tuition websites and agencies with no real contact details out there. We are an unregulated industry so please consider carefully.

Chemistry Unit Worksheets - Learns About Scales in Your Chemical Reactions

Chemistry Unit Worksheets - Learns About Scales in Your Chemical ReactionsChemical reactions take place within a specific system or environment and learning about chemistry has applications in other areas. Students learn how to study chemistry and gain confidence with other related areas like biology and physics. When working on your chemical reaction worksheet, make sure you use the correct scale.An easy way to help you choose the right scale is to figure out what the wrong scale means. You might think that a scale of 0 would mean 'no reaction' and one with a zero on it would mean 'absolute zero'. The correct scale is determined by the temperature at which the reaction occurs. If the temperature is below freezing point, then the reaction does not occur. On the other hand, if the temperature is higher than the freezing point, then the reaction can occur.Once you have determined the right scale, work with it to create a good diagram or worksheet. Remember that the scale will be used f or every chemical reaction. As an example, let's look at hydrogenation, which is a chemical reaction in which one base combines with another base to produce a different chemical product.This is a very important reaction in the production of some materials, such as nylon and plastic. The worksheet will show you how to create a worksheet that measures this reaction using the following scale. One scale item would measure the total amount of hydrogenate needed to complete the reaction. It will then display the range of temperatures that hydrogenate can be handled at.In the case of hydrogenate, hydrogen is a gas and so the scale can be left alone and work on other things. However, if you are trying to create an item that uses an element that is liquid, then the scale will need to be changed to show the density of the compound at various temperatures. In the case of water, the density is given by the number of molecules per cubic centimeter of volume.For instance, if you wanted to create a piece of clothing that was made of pure water, then the scale would be changed to show the density of the product. The scale will be changed again to indicate the specific gravity, which is the specific weight of the product. The density and specific gravity of the resulting product will be the same, regardless of the temperature.Creating chemistry unit worksheets that fit your style will make studying easier and more enjoyable. Once you know the scale of every chemical reaction, you will have a lot more confidence in other areas of your studies.
