Teacher Joseph's Podcast

Pronouncing the Letter "S" 【with transcript]

When your car stops working, it’s not just having a bad day; it’s had a "breakdown"

But hey, it happens to people too! When you’re totally stressed out

and start crying in the grocery store because they’re out of your favourite ice cream flavour
that’s a "breakdown" too!

But don’t worry, you’re not alone. Whether it’s your car or your emotions, just remember:

we all break down sometimes. But please, try not to do it over ice cream flavour .

See you next time, hopefully in one piece!

Plus, I’ll share how you can book a personalized lesson with me on iTalki to experience my teaching methodology firsthand. Tune in and let’s debunk the myth that age is a barrier to fluency!
