Week 2 of the Challenge

Chilton Library - Chilton's Auto Repair Manual

My vehicle.  2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara with four wheel drive and automatic transmission.
1.  Three things that need to be done at 30,000 miles are:  Inspect the Auto transmission fluid, replace the air cleaner, and inspect and service as needed the front and rear bearings.
2.  The most recent technical service bulletin (TSB) was posted on 6/5/2013.  It was TBS # XL-7 11 03133.  It made corrections to the service manual regarding the transfer case oil seal installation.  It was for all 2010 - 2013 Grand Vitaras.  In addition to tw0 pages of directions, there were four pages of illustrations.  I felt they were clear enough that even I could follow them and remove and install the new part.  But, I won't.
3.  Brake Repair.  The manual broke down the information very thoroughly for the Vitara.  There were 77 subcategories under brakes.  I just kept clicking on them and more subcategories would appear.  I think anybody looking for information on their vehicle would find that nothing has been left out.  Subcategories ranged from the anti-lock brake system to specifications.  Illustrations were very clear.

Mango Languages.
This was a little bit more difficult to access.  I may have been following a link at first that wasn't through the State Library.  It said that Thai language would need to be purchased for $79.  Anyway, I was able to access it and did two lessons, one in Spanish and one in Dutch.  I am choosing Dutch for this blog.
Dutch is the language spoken in the Netherlands.  The Netherlands is also called Holland, but Holland generally refers to the western part of the country.  The people of the Netherlands call themselves Nederlanders and are also known as the Dutch.  Nearly half of the country has been reclaimed from the sea using dikes and canals.  Nearly all of the cities in the country were established before the 1500s.  They were actually a world power in the 1600s with ships sailing to all parts of the world.
I found Mango language easy to use.  The lesson had 46 parts to it and repetition was used through out.  I was able to allow more time to think when responding and go back and repeat individual pages.  I like the lessons being short because you could do one in a short time and that would allow me or the students to complete several lessons  without losing attention span.  I liked the narrator's enthusiastic voice and here positive like reinforcement.  My only dislike or frustration (and it's not that big of a deal) was the initial gaining access and that was more than likely me.
