I Love Steno: The Student Edition- Great Practice For Theory Students!
A great way for theory and low-speed students to practice is to write to “Learn to Speak English” audio recordings and videos. This is such a great way to practice because the speakers are usually speaking at a fairly slow and steady pace due to the fact that they are trying to teach someone to speak a new language (just like us learning steno). Also, the speakers are usually using vocabulary that is on the basic or intermediate level- just what you need as a newcomer to steno.
There are also great “Learn English” videos that contain conversations between people. This is a great resource for students who are just becoming acquainted with Q & A.
You Tube is my favorite place to access “Learn English” videos. Here are some channel names and links you can visit:

Rules Of Grammar: Immigration vs. Emigration
Immigration is defined as coming to another country to live. Emigration is to leave one country to live in another country. The difference between the two terms is subtle. With immigration the focus is on the country being moved to. With emigration the focus is on the country being moved from.
Examples: I emigrated from America. I immigrated to Melbourne.
To remember the difference between immigration and emigration, remember the following analogy: Emigration is to export as immigration is to import.

“You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don’t have that kind of feeling for what it is you’re doing, you’ll stop at the first giant hurdle.” -George Lucas
