Adjusting to the American Way of Life: Charles Riverfest
http://newtoamerica-coach.blogspot.com/2009/06/charles-riverfest.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. This weekend, we went again to the annual Charles Riverfest in Cambridge. I love this time of the year when many towns and groups in Massachusetts organize festivals and Town days. Last weekend, we have been to the Greek festival here in our town, Arlington. The Greek community celebrates every year for two days with music, dance groups and ethnic food. Everyone is invited as the money raised during this event is for the Greek church in our town. We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon:.

Adjusting to the American Way of Life: December 2008
http://newtoamerica-coach.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2008. We don't know what we will be doing tomorrow evening. It's the first year without kids, since both boys are invited to parties, and therefore we want to do something special. Perhaps we will go to the Boston Pops, if we still get tickets. But regardless, where we will end up celebrating the start of a new year,. I wish everyone happiness, health and prosperity in 2009. Links to this post. Monday, December 29, 2008. Winter walk at Horn Pond. Links to this post. I'm still amazed...

Adjusting to the American Way of Life: Wet Start to the Summer
http://newtoamerica-coach.blogspot.com/2009/06/wet-start-to-summer.html
Sunday, June 21, 2009. Wet Start to the Summer. After spending most of this rainy Sunday inside, I finally ventured out for half an hour in raincoat and boots. I also took my camera for a few snapshots about the wet first day of the summer 2009:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adjusting to the American Way of Life! View my complete profile.

Adjusting to the American Way of Life: July 2009
http://newtoamerica-coach.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Bay of Fundy, Canada. Back from summer vacation. In the past two weeks we visited New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Our first stop was at the Hopewell Rocks of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. The Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpot Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion in The Rocks Provincial Park in New Brunswick. We were lucky and arrived at the Flowerpots at low tide. Links to this post. Labels: Bay of fundy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Adjusting to the American Way of Life: March 2009
http://newtoamerica-coach.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. I read today in the newspaper that a teacher in a cash-strapped school district in Idaho made a deal with the local pizzeria: The business will provide paper for handouts, worksheets and tests for his classrooms and in return, on each provided sheet of paper will be an ad for the pizza shop. So, while taking a history test the kids can already think about which slide of pizza they will buy for lunch: cheese or pepperoni? Links to this post. Labels: ads on school supplies. From m...

Adjusting to the American Way of Life: Junior Prom
http://newtoamerica-coach.blogspot.com/2009/06/junior-prom.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. OMG - time is flying. It seems like yesterday that my oldest son had his first day in kindergarten, and now it's already time for Junior prom. For us, this is all new terrain. There was a learning curve, which involved trying to find a Tuxedo 5 days before the event and remembering to buy a wrist corsage on the big day - without having it pre-ordered, of course. But we were lucky, and everything worked out perfectly. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Adjusting to the American Way of Life: Bilinguals: do they switch off one language?
http://newtoamerica-coach.blogspot.com/2009/09/bilinguals-do-they-switch-off-one.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Bilinguals: do they switch off one language? Recently it happened again: in the middle of a lecture about the history of psychology, I used a German expression. I didn't even notice it at first, only the puzzled look of my students told me that something was wrong. As I'm even thinking now more and more in English, it surprises me that occasionally German words would unconsiously sneak in when I'm speaking English. A group of Dutch psychologists now found an explanation:.
