You practice English by yourself. Everything sounds pretty good! Siri understands you. Your AI understands you. You feel GOOD!! But then... Then you finally talk to someone: You: “________________.” Them: “Sorry?” You say it again. Them: “Sorry…what?” 😩 Frustrating? YES. But I want you to think about that moment differently. That's valuable information. You just discovered a pronunciation problem that you might NEVER have discovered while practicing alone. And here's something important: You do NOT need perfect pronunciation. You do NOT need to sound exactly like me. You need pronunciation that allows you to communicate clearly. That's why real conversation is so important. When you actually speak with other people, we start discovering: Which sounds are causing trouble? Which words aren't clear? Is your rhythm making you difficult to understand? Are you pronouncing something differently from the way you hear it? These problems can hide when you're studying alone. Conversation exposes them. And once we can SEE the problem… we can work on it. That's another important part of ABC. 🔥 The next ABC starts Saturday, October 3. I’ll personally be there LIVE to get you started.

Hi my dear friends. Today, I took part in my first "Random Hangout". It was a bit challenging, as I sometimes struggle to express myself in correct English. But I was so happy that you joined us. It meant the world to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💖

It’s around the corner! I just had my first mooncake of the year! Love me some mooncakes!!!🥮🥮🥮 What flavor did you have? Lotus seed, red bean, egg yolk, mixed nuts… or something more adventurous?
