The course uses the "English" international extended edition of Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker, with assessments in English. To overcome language barriers, the student plans to form a study group with English-speaking peers. Recommendations for online resources include searching YouTube for physics lectures and utilizing MIT's OpenCourseWare for quality instructional content. The student expresses optimism in navigating these challenges with the right support and resources.

I'm taking Physics this year. The problem is that the lectures are not going to be in English, my native tongue, and I'm not yet fluent in the language of instruction. I'm an international student and will be dealing with this my entire studies.

The book the class is using is Fundamentals of Physics (halliday, resnick, walker) "English" international extended edition. Fortunately the text and tests will be in English.

Because I'm not fluent in the language of instruction I will try to build a study group of English speaking students. Can anyone "PLEASE" recommend some online videos/lectures of instruction in General (Freshman-for Engineers) physics? Especially if the lectures are based on the textbook I'm using.

Just go to YouTube and search for "physics lecture" (singular), and you'll find everything you want. I also happen to know that MIT gives some good lectures too at

Good luck :)
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
