English is to translate and to be translated, to reflect and to be reflected. In greek terminology, it's called hermeneutics. The nearest meaning of hermeneutics is silaturahim. So the best way to learn english is using a silaturahim method.

What kind of silaturahim that can we doing? many kind of silaturahim that we can doing, for example are silaturahim to bbc, silaturahim to library, silaturahim to encyclopedia,silaturahim to electronic dictionary, silaturahim to Mr.Marsigit, silaturahim to Mr.Marsigit's blog etc.

Silaturahmi is not only in learning english or mathematics, but also in learning attitude and the others like physics, biology, chemistry, and even in learning society's fenomena and sociology.

In the class we should understand the aspect of teaching and learning mathematics. First we need to understand of inovative teach learn math. As an innovative teacher, we must know that there are many kind/definition of mathematics, not only one kind of math. Everyone can products or make their own definition of mathematics. There are definition based on Aristoteles, Plato,etc.

So theoritically the number of math is the same as the people think of math. But mainly we can divide math in two categories, that are school/realistic/concrete mathematics and formal/axiomatic mathemathics.

Some people describe mathematic as a beautiful thing, but it's different with description of mathemathics in children mind. So, we can not say that mathematics is a beautiful thing, because everyone's opinion is different, especially children.The beautiful math can be a very scary math to children.

This can be seen from the reality that looking for children who love math is hard, but look for children who are learning math can be found everywhere.
