Here's my lastest episode on the American R sound! The American accent is rhotic, meaning the /r/ sound is fully pronounced in words like “car” and “mother.”

Let’s see if you can tackle this challenging adverb order challenge

I came across an article online about "Wireless Power Transfer[WPT" for cars and would like to share here. We often have to charge our mobile devices during the day due to the spreading of smartphones and tables lately. Especially in the car, the WPT is very useful because we can charge them easily without a charging cable. The WPT is technology that uses an electromagnetic induction generated between chargers and devices, and provides power through an electromagnetic field. This enables devices to charge without cables. This technology is not only convenient but also has a great safety. It's because we don't have to plug in during getting behind the wheel and prevent from being distracting. The WPT had slow charging speed and low efficiency, but the current technological advancements have improved the speed and the efficiency drastically. Thanks to this, the WPT can charge many kinds of mobile devices such as wireless earphones as well as tablets and smartphones for a quick second. On top of that, wearable devices such as fitness trackers and smart watches are also becoming popular these days. That's why the need for charging in the car has been increasing lately. Many cars have recently come standard with the WPT. This is due to the spreading of electrical vehicles[EVs] and hybrid electric cars. Unfortunately, my car doesn't have this function now. Hence, I'd love to get a new car with this function next time because I don't have to worry If the battery is low in the future. I'm not sure if I can afford that time.

Traveling is my biggest motivation for learning a new language because it transforms the way I experience the world. When I visit a new country, I don’t want to feel like just a tourist—I want to connect with the people, understand their culture, and navigate daily life with confidence. Speaking the local language allows me to have real conversations, ask for directions without struggling, order food like a native, and even share moments with locals that I wouldn’t experience otherwise. It makes every journey more immersive and meaningful. Instead of just seeing a place, I get to truly feel a part of it. That’s why learning new languages excites me—it opens doors to deeper connections and unforgettable travel experiences.

a musician played and sang Jiang Kui's "first song of middle Prelude of rainbow skirt" for me yesterday. It was the first time I had heard that song played on the guitar and found it was unbearably sad. Even though he doesn’t understand it because of the cultural difference, just like I don’t understand western poetry. "I think back to my youth wandering, mountains and passes to the sound of the flute, the entertainment house under the Willows." Some things can only be understood through first-hand experience. Perhaps only people who move frequently can understand Jiang Kui’s wandering life experience and frustrations he laments, during his mid and later life. I need to move again tomorrow because the landlord wants to remodel. Today is my last night to be here. I wonder how many more last nights I am likely to bear.
