Each language has it's own way to pronunciate and express what you want to say. To express your thoughts. So in order to achieve that we a have one of the most beautiful tools within our body, the voice. The voice is a result of breathing, vocal cords and the mouth system. Muscles outer and inner ones, tongue, teeth and airflow basically. So if you want to pronunciate correctly from one language to another you just need to become aware and imitate the same movements.
How?
In fron of a mirror
read a list ow words in your own language and in the language you want to learn.
slowly pronunciate your words and the new words.
Become aware of the movements you give for granted and the new movements.
Feel your mouth.

It is a process where you need to slow down form any of your rush from the day. A chance to know better and a kind of mindful meditation as well. So many things to be grateful! Just play with it and with patience you are going to talk even better than me..

Yes but how do I know the new movements and how they sounds?
Listen to my podcast and search on videos that are showing you the mouth sounds, or simpler follow my simple method. Repeat!

Sabores y comida en español que debes saber

Young people in South Korea are turning their backs on marriage, according to a government report.

A survey by Statistics Korea of Koreans aged between 19 and 34 found that just 36% have a positive opinion of marriage.

That's down from 56% in 2012.

The report found that many young Koreans feel they do not have enough money for marriage at a time when the cost of living is high.

Others said they don't think that marriage is necessary.

The report also found that only 28% of the women surveyed have a positive opinion of marriage.

This may be because women are choosing to put their jobs first — before marrying and starting a family.

Earlier in the year, Statistics Korea said that the number of marriages in the country in 2022 was the lowest ever recorded.

There were 192,000 marriages in 2022. The number of marriages recorded has now decreased in each of the last 11 years.

The government is worried, and has spent years trying to encourage young people to marry and have children, since the country's birth rate is also falling.

But more Koreans are happy to stay single. There is even a word for people who choose not to marry: bihon.

And instead of encouraging Koreans to marry, some people are asking the government to do more for single people who have chosen to live on their own.
