The amount of courses and teachers promising and encouraging you to speak like a native is overwhelming! But is that or should it be the ultimate goal? I discuss this, giving mine as well others' points of view on this subject.

wet net jet pet

En este cuento verás lo que le ocurrió un día a un burro que
ya no quiso andar más porque no tenía ganas.

Antes de comenzar la lectura:

1. ¿Qué le ocurre a un polo cuando lo sacamos del
congelador?

2. ¿Qué les ocurre a los cubitos de hielo
cuando los ponemos en un vaso de agua?

3. ¿Qué le ocurrió al burrito con el hielo?
Adivínalo.

 Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesora.

Era invierno, hacía mucho frío y todos los caminos
estaban helados. El asno, que estaba cansado, no se
encontraba con ganas para caminar hasta el establo.

—iEa, aquí me quedo, ya no quiero andar más —se dijo, dejándose
caer al suelo.

Un hambriento gorrioncillo fue a posarse cerca de su oreja y le dijo;

—Asno, buen amigo, ten cuidado; no estás en el camino, sino en un
lago helado.

—¡Déjame, tengo sueño! Y con un largo bostezo, se quedó dormido.
Poco a poco, el calor de su cuerpo comenzó a fundir el hielo hasta
que, de pronto, se rompió con un gran chasquido.

El asno despertó al caer al agua y empezó a pedir socorro, pero nadie
pudo ayudarlo, aunque el gorrión quiso, pero no pudo.

June and Yuli have a talk about Chinese Blind Date, this episode is part 1: What's Chinese Blind Date, you will learn how to say 【tradition,social context】 ect. (This is casual talk so there're some repetition and unnecessary words, which is also very natural authentic dialogue.)
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
1st time: listen without looking at the text.
2nd time: look at the text and write down the new words, later look up the dictionary. 
3rd time: listen again without looking at the text.
4th time: repeat after it without looking at the text.
-------------------------------------------------- 
June：第一个问题，什么是中国式相亲？
Yuli：我觉得这个跟中国的（这个）文化传统、社会背景关系还挺大的，就是到了一定的年纪，父母会觉得你应该结婚了，然后会通过亲戚、通过朋友去帮你介绍一些男生女生给你认识。然后这个前提一般是以结婚为基础的这种。
June：你觉得在中国相亲大概是从多大父母会开始给你介绍对象？
Yuli：我自己的经验是，我们一般是读书的时候，父母说不能早恋，不可以谈恋爱，但是你一毕业开始工作他们就觉得你要赶紧找对象，赶紧结婚，所以我自己的经验是毕业22、 23的时候。但是后来我听周围的人说，有的人是从还在读大学的时候开始，可能父母家里已经开始安排相亲了，感觉这个趋势有点越来越早（的感觉）。
June：我自己也是从大学毕业后工作了一年吧，才开始相亲的。周围的很多朋友，他们也差不多是在大学毕业之后开始相亲。然后很多都是通过相亲、结婚，现在都已经有了自己的小宝宝了。
Yuli：我蛮多朋友也是，如果你本来没有谈恋爱的对象的话，基本上都是回老家以后，开始工作以后周围的人帮你介绍对象相亲，然后结婚生小孩。
