Le poisson congelé
Un jour, raconte le poisson tout rond, il faisait si froid que le dessus de l'étang était gelé. Mon copain Firmin était coincé dans la glace, gelé lui aussi.
Je lui faisais des petits signes, il ne pouvait plus remuer une nageoire!
Quelle catastrophe ! Je suis parti chercher tous mes copains et nous avons tapé, tapé dans la glace jusqu’à la briser, Firmin a été délivré. C’était gagné!

HSK1-sentences with an Ajectival Predicate

BOB: We’d like two tickets for the 3:30
show, please.
TICKET SALES: Here you go. Enjoy the movie!
[Inside the theater]
BOB: Would you mind moving over one,
so my friend and I can sit together?
WOMAN: No, not at all.
BOB: Thanks a lot!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• The 3:30 show Movies are shown at different times throughout the day. This refers to 
the movie that starts at 3:30. Notice the emphasis on 3:30.
• Enjoy the movie! Notice how the intonation rises on movie. This is said in a friendly 
way, and is followed by an exclamation point.
• Would you mind is a polite way to ask “Can you do something for me?” Notice the 
verb ends in “-ing.” Compare this structure to “Would you mind if I” plus a verb that 
ends in “-ed” (Would you mind if I opened the window?).
• Moving over one Here “one” is short for “one seat.”
• No, not at all is a way of saying “No, I don’t mind” or “I will be glad to.” Notice the 
answer to “Would you mind” is in the negative form.

Reading books is one of the basic things you must do if you want to really improve yourself.
I will be sharing a few lessons I learned from some of my favorite podcasters about how to choose books that will be useful for your journey.

How to choose the right books to read?

Why Sleep Matters for Language Learning
1.	Memory Consolidation
During sleep, especially in the REM stage, your brain organizes and strengthens memories. Studies show that newly learned vocabulary and grammar rules are more likely to stick if you get adequate sleep after studying. Skipping sleep disrupts this process, making it harder to recall what you’ve learned.
2.	Problem-Solving and Creativity
Sleep boosts your ability to solve complex problems and think creatively. If you’ve ever woken up with a solution to a problem, you’ve experienced the power of sleep in action. This applies to cracking tricky grammar rules or composing sentences in your target language.
3.	Cognitive Resilience
Lack of sleep impairs focus and mental flexibility. Research shows that even one night of poor sleep can reduce your ability to absorb new information by up to 40%. For consistent language progress, consistent sleep is non-negotiable.
