PIRF VIP students might benefit from this!! This is something I made for my VIP PERSONAL students! Here are the lyrics: Courier Kerry’s Curry Carrier Once upon a time on a Navy career day, There worked a courier named Kerry, they say. And this Kerry was known from the deck to the bay For carefully carrying curry the perfect way. Yes, you could say that Kerry’s curry Was carefully carried, never in a hurry, Never cold, never burned, never wrong — Just colorful containers all day long. Well, the demand for curry climbed and climbed, So Kerry carried containers of every kind. On Career Day, right across the carrier, Courier Kerry carried curries like a warrior. There were also Corey, Karen, Curtis, and Carl, They stood on the carrier and began to cheer and call: “Look at Kerry carefully carrying Colorful curry containers across the carrier!” And every courier checked the current schedule with care, Corrected careless errors that shouldn’t be there, Confirmed each customer’s curry order twice, Made sure every carton and card was precise. But Kerry never carried cold curry, Never burned curry, never the wrong curry. Because Corey constantly compared every card, Every carton, every curry label — hard! Thereupon the courier crew celebrated their careful work, Congratulated Kerry (they didn’t even smirk), Encouraged every curious customer standing near: “Come back next Career Day for more delicious curry here!” Yes, on the Navy carrier on Career Day, Courier Kerry carefully carries curries the careful way. Corey, Karen, Curtis, and Carl cheer, While Kerry carries colorful curry containers year after year. And the courier crew keeps checking, correcting, confirming with pride, ’Cause careful curry carriers never let quality slide. So if you’re curious and craving that curry so fine… Come to Career Day on the carrier — Kerry’s curry line!

@Jiyeon Song Welcome, i'm happy to have you in the class! it was a great class, great questions!!

I'm starting a personal challenge to track the vocabulary, expressions, and phrasal verbs I notice in real life. Whenever I hear or see something we've learned in DDM—whether it's in a podcast, movie, TV series, YouTube video, or conversation—I'll share it here. For each comment, I'll include: - 🎧 The word, expression, or phrasal verb - 📍 Where I found it - 💬 The original sentence - 🧠 What it means - ✍️ My own example sentence My goal isn't to memorize long word lists. It's to recognize these expressions when native speakers actually use them and gradually make them part of my own English. I hope this also encourages other English learners to notice English in the real world. Feel free to add your own examples or corrections! Let's keep learning together. 🚀

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reached out to me, and especially to our dear Coach @Shane Peterson for the kind post. It honestly meant more than you know. Life happened, and I needed to step away for a little while. I never expected anyone to notice I had been gone, so seeing your messages and all the comments was such a wonderful surprise. It reminded me how special this community truly is. Having people who notice your absence, make you feel like you belong, and take the time to check in on you is something truly priceless—something I'll never take for granted. Thank you all so much for your kindness and support. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of this community. I'll be back soon! ❤️

Three months gone. It was a hell of a ride, but a great one! Thank you so much,CS! @Shane Peterson
