​Does this "map of chemistry" cover it? Is there anything you would add?

About half my students are engineers, with a solid grounding in physics, chemistry, math and computer science. Most have studied these subjects at the Master's level in French and other languages besides English. To these students I say, why not study physics in English, since you already master it in another language? Take a look at these great resources.

Looking for a good movie to watch in English? Check out these two lists for expert suggestions. For maximum punch, watch the movies in English with English subtitles turned on, so you can read along. Even if you don't need the subtitles to follow the film, turning them on is a sure way to boost your English. Send me a note to let me know which movie(s) you like.

     After Bob Dylan was named the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature last October, the literary commentariat wrestled with a fundamental question: Can song lyrics be literature? For some, the thought carried an unkind implication: Does something from the galaxy of pop music belong anywhere near the almighty pantheon of Great Lit?
     On Monday, the Nobel Foundation released Mr. Dylan’s lecture, a requirement for receiving the award (and its cash prize of about $900,000). In the speech, which is just over 4,000 words long — and about 27 minutes, in an accompanying recording — Mr. Dylan shows that he has been thinking about the question too, and gave a defense detailing his literary and musical influences, and ending on a note that every lit major should know. –The New York Times
