Daily Practice -- 3 January 2020
After school, my daughter and I played badminton in the gym before going home. I patiently and proudly taught her how to serve the shuttlecock. She practiced diligently and repeatedly until finally, she could do it well. However, much to my chagrin, later at home when I checked a teaching video on YouTube about badminton, I found out that I had actually showed her the wrong way!*
Hi, Aiden. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. My sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you, Jonathan
*Actually, it was not the wrong way, instead, it was just a different, special, if not unique way of serving! (*-^)

Hi, Aiden,
Congratulations on the quality of your English!
It does not work to say “on the way home” at the end of the first sentence.
i suggest combining it with the beginning phrase:
“On the way home from school, my daughter and I....”
Your meaning is clear when you say, “finally did it well”, but it does not sound normal. Here are some options:
and finally mastered it
and finally succeeded
and now can serve with ease
