Bare Naked Ladies are a Toronto, Canada rock group popular in the late 1990s and the early part of the new century.  In episode 1, I commented that food, blue, and blew all had the same vowel sound.  Indeed, bare (meaning naked or basic) and bear (the animal) are pronounced the same. In this episode, I am going to guide you through (not throw) the E ear and A air sounds.
Here are the lists of the words in this lesson.  Notice that the spelling of the vowel sound is not consistent.

从前，有个孩子在山上放羊。他看到很多人在山下干活儿，想捉弄一下别人，就故意大声喊叫:“狼来了！狼来了！”山下的人听到喊叫声，立刻跑上山来。可是，山上根本没有狼，是放羊的孩子在撒谎，人们被他欺骗了。

过了几天，人们又听见这个孩子在山上喊:“狼来了！狼来了！”大家又跑到山上去，结果还是没有狼，人们又被撒谎的孩子欺骗了。

又过了几天，狼真的来了。这个孩子又喊:“狼来了！狼来了！狼真的来了！”山下的人们听到喊声，再也没有人理他了。结果他的许多羊都被狼吃了。

I've been seeing a trend recently that many teachers are saying focus on fluency ( communication) and accuracy (no mistakes) will come with time. This episode is my take on this. 

I'd love to hear your opinions in the comments

Learning a language - accuracy or fluency?

A veces es fácil perder de vista lo que se ha vuelto tan natural y es frecuente a nuestros ojos. Es una invitación para mirar a nuestro alrededor con ojos de turista.
