In this episode, I make some observations about different conversational styles among native and non-native English speakers. I am generalizing, of course, and these are just my thoughts, based on what I've experienced in my life. *

I'd love to hear what YOU think! What have you observed? 

Here are some questions you might want to talk to yourself or write about - as we reflect on the year that has ended. Maybe you want to create a short monologue by recording your thoughts in a voice memo on your phone. Or perhaps you could try writing down your ideas on your phone or on a piece of paper. Do it for 5 or 10 minutes, and don't worry about your grammar or vocabulary. Writing is a great PROCESS - an exercise where you can use your English - anywhere, anytime, without a teacher or a listener. So getting in the HABIT of writing or speaking to yourself is as important as the words you use. Over time, your skills will improve! 

---- QUESTIONS TO ANSWER -----

What does the word SUCCESS mean to you? 
What does SUCCESS LOOK LIKE to you? 
What is something you have SUCCEEDED AT?

Based on YOUR definition of success - what made 2023 a successful year for you?
What will make 2024 a successful year for you? 

And here's a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT and a WRITING EXERCISE.
Imagine it is December 31, 2024. Using past tenses, write about what made 2024 a successful year for you. (This may feel strange, but it’s a great exercise for your English and for your mind! It can be fun and transformative, too!)

*Note - In this episode, I make the mistake of using the word "American" to refer to people from the US. This is a bad habit that I am (still) trying to break. The truth is that we are all Americans in the whole hemisphere - North and South. But, as they say, "old habits die hard" or existing patterns are hard to change.

4. How we speak with others & why we should talk to ourselves

这里是one minute Chinese, 中文一分钟，每天都不同！ 我们一起听一分钟，想一分钟，说一分钟，今天的话题，中国人的开门七件事。
在中国，有句俗话说：开门七件事，柴米油盐酱醋茶（chai2 mi3 you2 yan2 jiang4 cu4 cha2, lit. Firewood,rice,oil,salt,vinegar,soy and tea）。柴是柴火，有了他就可以生火取暖，做饭。米就是大米这些粮食(liang2shi, grain)，油和盐，都是为了做饭可以更香，酱和醋呢，是中国人发明的调料(tiao2liao4,flavouring)，他们发现细菌(xi4jun1,germ)和粮食在一起，发酵(fa1jiao4,ferment)后，会变成各种好吃的东西。有了他们，中国菜才会那么好吃。 最后一样，茶，过去，这可是只有客人来了才能拿出来的东西，不便宜的。回头一看，中国人早上起床打开门最重要的七件事，全部都和吃有关系，看来吃是中国非常重要的文化了。

Hello~
I'm Grace and your native Korean teacher.

How's your sentence reading going? ^^
Please make a habit of reading your Korean sentences.
I uploaded this Audio File so you can practice basic Korean pronunciation daily.

Look at this.
First ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅㅇ(X) ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ 자음 Consonants
Middle ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ ㅐㅒㅔㅖㅘ ㅙ ㅚ ㅝ ㅞ ㅟ ㅢ 모음 Vowels
End ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㄲ ㅆ 받침 Final consonatns

Remember, English is made from the back of your throat, but 한글 is mainly made from your mouth.
The sound comes from the front.
In other words, you use entirely different muscles when you talk.
So you have to practice it over and over again to become natural.

In Korean, the shape of the lips of the vowels should be correct,
And you have to understand the difference between the pronunciation of consonants in the initial consonants and consonants in the final consonants.

The basics are the most important.
Before reading Korean sentences with Korean grammar in Korean conversation sentences.
Read the basic pronunciation over and over again.

I uploaded a video.
