Yasmine's English Reading

Hi everyone!
Today I want to share a fun Netflix animation called K‑Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s about a K‑Pop girl group, Huntr/x, and a boy group, Saja Boys.

The movie is full of amazing songs and cool action scenes.
You can also find many hidden Korean cultural elements, like 김밥, 라면, and 전통문양.

If you like K‑Pop or Korean culture,
I really recommend watching it!

Thanksgiving in America, part one getting the food ready, shopping. setting up the televisions for sporting events. It's a big weekend

English My Way

Thanksgiving part one

I feel Christmas and New Year's holiday in Japan and north America is opposite. In Japan, Christmas is more like party time, festival feeling, and new years holiday is more holy and family gathering feeling. 
日本のクリスマスとお正月。北米と逆だなと思います。日本はクリスマスはパーティーとかサンタクロースのイメージ。お正月がもう少し神聖な雰囲気で家族でも集まります。

A student from a very competitive culture felt that his English was not good enough. I shared a tip with him that changed everything. Listen to this episode to hear the fix.

He Thought His English Wasn't Good, Here's What I Told Him

In this episode, we look at five idioms about meeting new people. Here are the example sentences I use in the podcast:

How did you and Sara meet?
Well, she saw me reading a book she liked, and asked me what I thought of it to strike up a conversation.
It felt a little odd at first, since I had been so focused on the book. Then, she made a joke about how boring we both must be, to read a book like that. It really broke the ice. 
I really wanted to put my best foot forward, so I told her everything I knew about the book and its author. 
Fortunately, she was interested in what I said about the book, and we really hit it off. 
However, when I met her sister, I said the wrong thing and really got off on the wrong foot. She doesn’t like me at all.
