I know each person learns at their own pace, but I’m just curious, how many lessons did you take before you took the road test? Did you pass on the first time?

i first went for a written two part test - passed that
then i went to driving school it was a week long and then i had 10 hours with a driving instructor so they taught me proper rules of the road.
april 26 i go for my g2 licence and i’m nervous but happy.

How many lessons do I need to get a Drivers Ed certificate?

I’m in New York State, just got my license. However, I need to take drivers ed so I can drive after 9. This one driving school offers individual lessons, do you think they’d give me that certificate after just 1 lesson? That way I save boat loads of money. Otherwise a 7 lesson plan is like 350 bucks.

Only the driving school can answer your question, not random strangers on Yahoo answers.

Why did school history lessons start with the Normans and not the Saxon kings?

April 42010

There was reference to the last Saxon King - king Harold, and perhaps King Alfred was mentioned in passing, but it seems English primary school history lessons treat the Saxon kings somewhat harshly. What do others think?

I researched for two days on this and came up blank for the "most part". I don’t normally spend so much time on "two" points. What did seem apparent is that this was an oppressed time for the English. I offer a few links below that may assist in determining in your own mind that this oppression was not accepted well and therefore a time that would like to be forgotten by as many Englishmen as possible. I agree that history should be honest and true, but often time history is written by those who are either victorious in war, or have a power over the masses. Hopefully I helped somewhat. Good luck!… ☺

How many hours of driving lessons am I going to need?

I’m clever (not showing off but to answer my question you probs need to consider that) and I will practise in between lessons. I usually pick things up pretty quickly. How many hours of lessons do you think I’ll need?

I would say for you probably about 25-35, but book them in blocks because its cheaper and also this bears in mind the fact that youll be practising outside of lessons, my brothers passed first time with about this much, its a lot easier when you practice yourself too :D x x x x x

What age can you start swimming lessons?

I am not expecting my daughter to be able to swim alone or super well at her age (almost 2). But I think she would love swim lessons. She loves the water. In the bath tub she lays on her stomach holding herself up with her arms, kicks her legs (like she is swimming) she also loves to put her face in the water and blows bubbles. Does anyone know what age I can put her in swim lessons (of course I know I will be in the water with her)
Thanks! I will probably look into getting her into lessons this summer!

My son is in swimming lessons. They start it at 6 months but the 6 months-2 yrs is done with the parent in the water as well. After that they are just with the teacher.That’s how they do it at my son’s anywho)

What would happen about my driving lessons if I got to university?

I’m planning to start my driving lessons maybe next month, but what happens If I don’t pass by the times uni comes around. I mean can I still take lessons at my university, or will I have to start all over again. Because I really don’t want to be having to rely on public transport at university, because I’ve had enough of that already here lol, i don’t think i could handle having to get buses and trains while at university too.

While you can continue our lessons from the university you would be going, I like to take your consideration to some useful tips about driving.

What is the difference between lessons and training?

I have been interested in taking up horseback riding lessons since the age of five, but my mom has never had the money. This summer, I would like to maybe take lessons, but not just one lesson. I love horses to death, but don’t have a clue as to how to ride them. When I was looking online, and I saw different sections for lessons, and training. What is the difference? Is training meant for the horse, or you becoming a professional?

Training means for the horse. However, when some people say "my trainer" they mean their instructor, cause most instructors also train.

What kind of dance lessons are good to teach babies and toddlers?

I recently got a job teaching children and babies at a daycare how to dance. I want to start incorporating lessons into my classes, as well as change up the exercises each week. What kinds of things should I be trying to teach babies, and what kinds of things should I be trying to teach children from 3-5 years old?

Don’t expect amazing things from 3-5 year olds.

Here’s RADs pre-primary syllabus:
Running in a circle
Running en diagonale
Walking with stretched feet
Walking on demi-pointe
Skips
Demi-plies
Rises
Points
Knee bends
Jumps
Bounces
Claps
Marches
Pony steps
Pony trots
Pony galops

Here’s the primary:
Swaying
Step close step point
Knee lifts
Stork walks
Sautes
Echappes sautes
Spring points
Galops sideways
Jumps with eye focus
Skip change of step

Here’s grade 1:
Battlements tendus
Petit jetes
Bivided battlements tensud
Transfer of weight
Classical walks
Swaying
Spinning
Soubresauts
Galops forward
Step forward (heel toe)
Picked up runs

For babies, focus on rhythm and movement. Clapping in time, counting to 4, bouncing in time, ‘free dance’ to music, happy feet and sad feet (pointed and flexed), pretending to be animals /ghosts /trees /princesses /butterflies, etc.

How many driving lessons did you have before you passed your test?

My 17th birthday is in a week and i’ve saved up a bit of money for lessons and car neccesities but i looked at the DVLA web page and it said i need an average of 45 lessons. At like about £20 a lesson that’s just too much for me.

Were they right about that number or can it be done with a lot less paid lessons just home practise?

You are required to have a certain amount of hours behind the wheel before you take the test.
You don’t have to pay a driving school to have all the hours.
Just drive with a 21yr old license driver and document the amount of hours you’ve driven, but I do suggest you spend at least 6hrs. behind the wheel with a certified driving instructor, that will also help reduce your insurance rates.

Is it possible to find good acoustic guitar lessons on the internet?

December 212009

I want to get acoustic guitar lessons but with my current crazy time-shifting job it is impossible for me to be available during decent hours. I have heard there are video lessons on the Internet but I would like to get feedback from someone who tried it.

There are video courses available that you can pause and replay when and as often as you want. It is a definite advantage over a teacher who will be available for only an hour or so at the time and that you will have to pay by the hour.
