Free Post: My hobby.

One cent, with the saying: "Economía es Riqueza". Coin from 1898.

Hi readers

This is my last post. I got delay with one of the posts, and this one must be about a free topic.
So Im going to talk about one of my hobbies that is directly related with numistics, that is the study, presenvation and collection of coins -any types of coins and paper money- but specially the oldest coins. After all, the numistics work with the logic of fetichism and collection as museums do.

On my personal collection  I have a narrow pool of coins. I collect out of circulation and modern coins. On my case, at least the most of them are Chilean coins, being the oldest one form 1898, and it was found from my mother at his work, around 2010. I remember when she give it to me, I was really excited, after all, it was a real old coin. Even when I know that there are older coins on the world, this was special because it came from a place real close to my house, also it show us how our coins had changed across the time, and this one was made at least 112 years ago when it arrived to my hand, and today this coins has 120 years old.

If we think carefully,  this coin is oldest that any of us, also, think on every hand that olded it, when it was used to bought things, and when it was forgotten under a parquet floor, until it was found from my mother. The things that this coin saw and heard. One hundred years of history that only this coin can tell.

I wish I had more coins like this one, but I know that some day I will found an oldest coin that will form part of my collection.

Also, I have to say that along the 2008, a lot of coins with the typographic error of Chiie was made. I have a lot of them, and Im still collecting them because they are valuable on the market of coins of collections.

Check your coins, maybe you have a little trasure in your pocket and you didnt knew.

Thats all pals <3

About Preintermediate class.

Hi readers

This semester I was part of the course Preintermediate, where we learn how express ourselves across writting and speaking -also spelling- on english.

For this we write 8 different post -that you can check below-. Also we had listening and oral interactions -understood as speaking- between students.

Thus we did our best nonchalantly. So we got some fun doing that, it was a good way to do our learning. because none of us was actually a fluent speaker, and a lot of people feel embarrased about their english. So, it helped a lot. Of course, it was not perfect, even if the speak to each other, we could make a mistake, and for the lack of knowledge, none of the speakers would notice. Furthermore, the listening was a real problem even for the experimented one's, because the audio was on British accent, and the difference between american english -the usual for the chilean- and the british one, was huge or not easy to ignore. Even with that little problem, I could improve my writting, after all, im not used to it -to writte in a foreing language-. Also, it helped me to find my hearing problems. It's time to watch more British related audios -podcasts, documentals, etc.

I would like to include things more fun, like videos or movies, to watch on class or something, things related with different kind of expression (maybe that is part of the Intermediate course, I have no idea). The point is, that the class lacked of fun things sometimes. It was frustrating for everyone. It felt more like a routine. But all of us did our best in every way, and we all know that. It's not your fault miss.

About an extra thing, I have to say that the real way to learn any foreing or native language, you have to read things, and look for audios or movies that could help you. That was the way that I learnt the things that I know now. Maybe im not a real fluent speaker, but at least I try.

In conclusion, you have to be autodicat or self-taught person to learn any language, But even if you do that, you will lack of something that can be fixed with patience and practice.

Thank you miss and companions for be part of my class.

Greetings <3

The best Topic of my classes

Métodos y Técnicas de Laboratorio I: Lítica (AN01048-1)

Hi readers.

About my classes, I have to say that the more interesting one, on my actual mention, is called 

Métodos y Técnicas de Laboratorio I: Lítica, labeled as AN01048-1. 

On this class, we do the study and analysis of lithic technology and his applicattion to understand how the past people lived, after all, we can take evidence from this pieces of stone to make models and interpretations of the lifestyle of the past populations.

This models can help us to explain and study topics like: 

(1)Mobility and Technology.

(2)Provisioning and flow of raw materials.

(3)Lithic technology, intensification of economy and social complexity.

(4)Learning and technique abilities. 

(5)Know how and technologic style.

(6)Prestige technology, social agency and symbolism.

And to achieve that, we use different kind of schools. The French School of lithic technology focus his work on Chaine operative, which means the analysis and study of how this instruments are made, dividing this in four stages: Provisioning, Manufacturing, Use (recycling) and Discard. With an approach from experimentation. Instead, the American School of lithic technology use a methodology focused on etnographic (fieldwork) evidence also cloncluding in the division of the same four stages. Both ended with similar questions and answers.

In classes, we had a practice where we experimented with cores of stone, we tried to make flakes, then we tried to make stone tools, finally we tried use them on diferent kind of materials like wood and bones to make marks of use on them. We failed on the last one. To make a stone tool with obvious marks of use, it has to be used a lot (years). It was fun, so that's why I like this class more than others.

Soon I will have another class related to this called Métodos y Técnicas de Laboratorio II: Cerámica. I guess it will be fun too.

That will be all pals.
