minimal pairs like warn/warm with rn or rm at the end I am looking for some minimal pairs like warn/warm, they only differ by one phoneme at the end I found that is difficult for me to produce m at the end of a sentence or word because in spanish words only finish on n, and that challenge is even bigger when the word is preceded by a r sound as in the words: warm or perform, I know that minimal pairs are very helpful to train my pronunciation between similar sounds so if you know more mimal pairs like warn/warm it would be greatly appreciated thanks.

What am I working toward? I know that I can change nobody only myself and there are many things that are not under my control. Having said this I am going to focus only on the things that I can change of myself and my general mission is to be a better person than yesterday. *Think less, act more: I have seen in many aspects of my life that I think too much to do the things that I know that I have or want to do, sometimes I search for the "best", "easiest", "most safe" ways to do the things, but I end up doing nothing else than thinking and wishing. *focus on a limited number on things or habits and say no more frequently: sometimes I do things on behalf of others and there are things that occupy my time and hamper me from doing the things that I want to do. *Learn how to manage better my time and avoid distractions.

What didn’t go so well this year? I cannot make the progress that I expected to have on my language learning goals: I focus too much in reading and searching for better ways to learn languages that I lost a lot of time that I could spend actually learning and using my targets languages: English and French. I know that I have a good level in English but I think that I hit a plateau and I would like to feel that I am improving and making some progress. In French the case is worst, practically I only listened to audio courses and podcast while commuting to work.  Another factor that impeded my progress was a lack of time management. I am aware that my current job absorb a lot of my time and I have a wife and family who needs my attention but I also know that having a better organized agenda would have helped a lot on that pursue. There is also another issue that I suffered and It was a sleep disorder that I think that I am learning to overcome it.

daily video recording This year I am commited to record videos of me speaking in a daily basis. The purpose of this is to track my journey of learning. Also that way I ease a little bit of the tension I have when speaking in public specially in a foreign language. This is my 2 day. I don't know if someday I am going to share those videos. But I think that It would help me to improve my fluency in english and french.

bullying I read about bullying and I dont know what to think about it. It is a difficult topic and no matter how you slice it, what you believe is the correct way to treat it other people will disagree with you. I agree with the autor of the article, he says that at first your child should try to talk passively with the bullier but if he/she insists on hurting him/her, he/she must defense her/himself and if necessary react violently.

Préférez vous regarder la télé ou lire un livre ? Je préfère lire un livre, mais comme je suis marié, je besoin de temps avec ma femme, et nous pouvons regarder la télé plus facilement ensemble. Lire un livre est plus dificile du faire ensemble.

Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares ... Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares for a year if you would be rewarded with extraordinary wealth? Absolutely no, I think that sleeping well has no cost and it is more valuable than having extraordinary wealth, my wife suffers constantly with this issue and it affects our health and energy, also wealth is something that can disappear easily and sometimes can arrive to you easily.
