Good morning. ☀︎ I was very busy this week. First, I worked for ten hours on Saturday. Then, I moved on Sunday, so I packed my things until 3 a.m. I was very tired, but I went to bed late. I woke up at 7 a.m. on Sunday. The mover took our things to our new house. We arrived at our new house and cleaned up until midnight. There were many things to do, so I was very tired. On Monday, it was a holiday, but I had classes. I also had part-time job yesterday and today. I was busy every day, so I did not have much free time. But my favorite singer, Aimyon, released a new song. I was very happy, and I listened to it many times. Her new song gave me energy, so I could do my best. I will listen to this song next week, too. I think her songs will help me when I am tired.

What do you struggle with the most in regards to speaking American English with native English speakers? Is it coming up with words to say? Is it saying enough so you don't sound limited or be able to give enough variety in your responses so you don't sound repetitive? Is it phrasal verbs? Do you use them? Do you understand them? Do you know how many there are? What about your confidence? Do you second guess yourself when you speak English? Do you have a lot of 'ums' and 'uhs' when you speak American English? Do you repeat words and phrases? Do you have long pauses in between your words and phrases? Do you translate in your head before you say it? Do you depend on translating? Do you say the bare minimum which is only the few things you know how to say but if someone asks you to 'say more.' you'd have difficulty? Are you not really sure where you struggle? Have you ever had someone from the United States... a tutor or teacher really judge your speaking and give you feedback?
