self introduction🙋‍♀️ 自己紹介（じこしょうかい）してみましょう。

Anita: OK, so we’ve got three possibilities for the advertisement we will be using here and I want to talk about each of them with you and get your point of view. So first of all, here’s number one. What do you think, Gerry?
Gerry: Oh, that’s interesting! I like the colors. They’re very warm. I didn’t think a cartoon would work very well, but I think this is quite fun. Tina, what do you think?
Tina: Personally, I don’t think it works. We’re really aiming at customers who are 20 and older. I think it might look a little young for them.
Brett: I’d agree with Tina, I’m not very keen on it. These will be used in magazines and on trains and buses. I don’t think it will really stand out. It’s very nice to look at, but I don’t think it will really get anyone’s attention.
Gerry: OK. I see what you mean, Brett. Well, let’s have a look at the others then. Well, I think it’s great, but I may revise my opinion when I see the others.
Anita: I will say that this one is cheaper than the other two. Right, then. Here’s number two.
Brett: Oh, I like that much more. It’s really creative. That’s a beautiful photograph and the name of the product is really clear.
Tina: I’m not sure about the model they used. She’s beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But she looks a bit unhappy. I don’t think that gives the right message.
Gerry: I like it, but I don’t think I feel strongly about it. I’m sure we could get them to find an older model if we wanted. It just seems very serious compared to the last one and I’m not sure I like it as much.
Anita: Yes, although I should point out that if we do that, it will add to the cost of the advertising. Also, I don’t know if this will change anyone’s mind, but the cost of using a photograph for the advert will be far higher than using a cartoon. About 40% more altogether which will leave us less to use for future advertising.
Brett: Well, I think this would work really well. If we need to change the model, we can do that. But I think it’s really exciting to look

LEARN BY LISTENING

STOP Tolerating These Popular Problems

In today’s episode, I explore how the heart chakra—Anahata—guides us in language learning and healing. The heart chakra, glowing green and resonating with the sound YAM, supports compassion, balance, and authentic expression. Science shows that activating the vagus nerve lowers stress, regulates heart rate, and improves memory recall. When we engage with vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, speaking, and listening, we not only strengthen our fluency but also nurture our heart. Vocabulary connects to emotional memory, grammar creates balance, reading calms through breath, writing heals stress, speaking vibrates through the chest, and listening fosters compassion. Different languages such as Malay, English, Chinese, French, Dutch, and Italian resonate with the heart chakra in unique ways, from soothing rhythm to expressive melody. By studying through the heart, we don’t just learn words—we cultivate love, resilience, and healing in both body and soul.

THE CHARM OF BOOKS

Mujercitas capitulo II

Language is about connection, and connection requires authenticity. This Pride Month, I want to celebrate my own journey as a non-binary individual. Coming out came with its challenges—including facing silent rejection in my teaching career and dealing with indirect pressure over gendered spaces. But those moments taught me the true power of community, solidarity, and acceptance. To all my current and future students: my classroom is a safe, inclusive space for everyone. You are welcome here exactly as you are, and we can build your language skills together in a space where you can just breathe and be yourself. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈
