In this friendly speech, Smith takes the stage to discuss the contrasting approaches to English language learning - ESL and EFL. Smith highlights the limitations of the traditional ESL method, which focuses on vocabulary and grammar memorization without delving into the deeper meanings of words. In contrast, Smith advocates for the EFL approach, which emphasizes understanding, natural variations, practical discovery, fluency, and long-term confidence. The speech concludes with an invitation for learners to explore personalized lessons with Smith, allowing them to enhance their language skills in a more tailored and effective manner. It's an empowering and informative talk that sheds light on the benefits of the EFL approach and encourages learners to take their English proficiency to the next level

New portion of Russian tongue twisters!
This time let’s specifically focus on really tricky Russian sounds that are confusing for many foreigners – [ч], [ш], [щ]. 
I'll recite each tongue twister twice: once at a slow pace and then gradually closer to a normal speed.

четЫре чЁрненьких чумАзеньких чертЁнка чертИли чЁрными чернИлами чертЁж чрезвычАйно чИсто. (ч,р)

сАша шУстро сУшит сУшки,
сУшек вЫсушил штук шесть,
и смешнО спешАт старУшки
сУшек сАшиных поЕсть. (ш,с)

хрящ хрустЯщий у щенкА, он хрустИт хрящОм покА. (щ,х)

Try to articulate them as clearly as possible, please don’t chase the speed. Good luck!

Russian tongue twisters - part 5

今天我们要聊一个特别有趣的中国节气——立春！
你知道吗？在中国，春天不是从日历开始的，而是从“立春”开始的！立春通常在2月3日到5日之间，是二十四节气里的第一个。
古人怎么庆祝立春呢？他们会穿上漂亮衣服，走上街头，大声喊：“春来了！春来了！”，这叫“报春”。 还有人们抬着一只用泥做的“春牛”游行。游行后，用小棍子把春牛打碎，再把泥土带回家——这叫“打春牛”。他们相信，这样做，今年庄稼就会长得特别好！
立春还有一个超好吃的习俗，叫“咬春”！人们会吃春饼或春卷。把萝卜、豆芽、韭菜、生菜……还有肉丝，统统包进薄薄的饼里，卷起来，咬一大口——又香又脆！好像真的把春天吃进肚子里啦！
立春不仅是春天的开端，更是一个寄托着希望和美好愿望的节气。别忘了在立春这天，和家人一起吃春饼，为新的一年讨个好彩头！
Today, we’re talking about a super fun Chinese solar term—Lichun, or “Start of Spring”!
Did you know? In China, spring doesn’t begin on the calendar—it begins with Lichun!
It usually falls between February 3rd and 5th, and it’s the very first of China’s 24 solar terms.
So how did ancient people celebrate Lichun?
They’d dress in their finest clothes, head out into the streets, and shout joyfully:
“Spring is here! Spring is here!”
This was called “Baochun”—“Announcing Spring”!
They also held parades with a clay ox called the “Spring Ox.” After the parade, people would gently hit the ox with sticks until it broke apart. Then they’d take the clay home with them—a ritual known as “Beating the Spring Ox.”
They believed this would bring a bountiful harvest that year!
And here’s the tastiest part: Lichun comes with a delicious custom called “Biting Spring”!
People eat spring pancakes or spring rolls. They wrap thin pancakes around fresh ingredients like radish, bean sprouts, leeks, lettuce… and even shredded meat, roll them up, and take a big crunchy bite—so fragrant and crisp!
It really feels like you’re eating spring itself!
Lichun isn’t just the start of a new season—it’s a time full of hope, renewal, and good wishes for the year ahead.
So don’t forget: on Lichun, gather your family, share some spring pancakes, and welcome the new year with a lucky bite of spring!
