Some more exciting news: The Daily English Show is going to a summit.

What is a summit? A summit is the highest point of a hill or a mountain.
And: a meeting between heads of government.

In Wikipedia it says a summit is: a meeting of heads of state or government, usually with considerable media exposure, tight security and a prearranged agenda.

I think summit is also used to mean a meeting or conference.

And the summit we’re going to is called iSummit.

So what is iSummit? This is from the site: icommonssummit.org

The fourth global iSummit will be held in Sapporo, Japan from 29 July to 1 August, 2008. iCommons in association with Digital Garage, Creative Commons Japan and the City of Sapporo will bring together pioneers of the free Internet from over 60 countries around the world.

So we’re going to be going to be doing some reports about the event – to share with everyone what it was all about, what happened, what we learnt. And we’re also going to be interviewing a lot of interesting people too.

We’re really excited to be involved because as you know, The Daily English Show is part of the free online culture. All of the videos are free to watch and use in classrooms and so are all the scripts too.
And we use music that is licensed with Creative Commons licenses.
That’s why at the end of the show you can see a long credit roll, because part of the conditions of using that music is that you credit the artists.

If you don’t know what Creative Commons is, check out this site: http://creativecommons.org/

And iCommons was incubated by Creative Commons. And is an organisation with a broad vision to develop a united global commons front by collaborating with open education, access to knowledge, free software, open access publishing and free culture communities around the world.

So, if you’re going to the iSummit, I’ll see you there! And I’m looking forward to meeting you.

Word of the Day

Today’s word is considerable.

Considerable is a formal word for a lot.
So: considerable media exposure means a lot of media exposure.














conversations with sarah

　　Where is Bulgaria?

Dave
Where is Bulgaria?
　ブルガリアってどこにあるの？

Sarah
It’s in Europe.
　ヨーロッパ。

Dave
What language do they speak?
　言語は？

Sarah
Bulgarian.
　ブルガリア語。

Dave
What’s that like?
　どんな感じの言葉？

Sarah
It’s a Slavic language, so I guess it’s similar to Russian.
　スラヴ語系だからロシア語と似ているかも。

Dave
What alphabet do they use?
　どんな文字を使うの？

Sarah
They use the Cyrillic alphabet.
　キリル文字。

Dave
Is that different from the English alphabet?
　英語のアルファベットと違う？

Sarah
Yeah, English uses the Latin alphabet. But some of the letters are the same. Cyrillic has some really cool letters, like one that looks like a backwards n and another one that looks like an o with a line down the middle.
　英語はラテン文字だから違うけど、同じ文字もある。　キリル文字にはカッコイイ文字があって、"n"の逆さまや"o"の真ん中に線が入ったのもあるよ。

サラのメモ：
If you're interested in going to the iSummit and haven't registered yet, registration closes on Monday 21st of July.
