Phoenix had an accurate pronunciation and was able to distinguish different types of vowels. She was eager to learn and having fun. I'm very proud of her!

Zaharra was actively taking part in reading the words she wanted to learn. She had remembered most of the consonants and vowels, and also was able to correct herself if she had made a mistake. She did a great job.

Phoenix had a smart and creative way to remember Hangul and the pronunciation. I loved her confidence and her enthusiasm!

I noticed that Ayrelia and Zaharra put in a lot of time to practice Hangul and get their pronunciation right. They were very attentive and did a good job getting through the lesson.

    I haven't found many K-dramas that I do not like. Most recently, Fated to Love You and Goblin hit my top 10 list and I just rewatched Falling for Innocence and Healer. Honestly, I'm a sucker for romance, so I really love Korean Dramas, and I appreciate the comedy.

    "Jerk Off" has only one meaning. It means to masturbate. But in certain contexts, it can mean the same as another profanity, "F*** off". When dismissing someone because they are annoying or aggravating, we can tell them to "go jerk off somewhere". Not quite as common, at least not around here, is using it as a noun. Calling someone a "jerk-off" is an insult. This is not my favorite form of speech, but there are quite a few slang words out there.

    I most often hear this sentence when people are referring to leaving their house. The Outside world is used to mean anything that is outside of your normal life, but it is mostly used when referring to people who have a very limited experience or don't take chances in their lives.

    1. Son-in-law. This is a compound word, three separate words becoming a singular noun, so it needs hyphenated. Also, you are overusing the word real. It is not necessary for either instance. "...was giving her a hard time...". For the second instance, you could say "...she gave him quite the tongue-lashing." As for "...tongue-lashing/She really gave it to him tomorrow.", I don't understand the use of the /. You should remove it. Also, you cannot give in past-tense (gave) something tomorrow as tomorrow means the next day. I am going to assume you meant yesterday, as in the day before. You could easily write this as "...she gave him quite the tongue-lashing yesterday." 2. It does sound odd, as it is a rather old way of speaking. If you are looking for a more natural, modern way to say this sentence, I would suggest something like "I'd love for you to come." or "It'd be great if you came." Again, you have a very old way of speaking here. "Want some coffee?" or "Do you want some coffee?" and "Yes, I'd love some." Try to use conjunctions as much as possible when you are looking for natural speech in dialogue. Native English speakers use conjunctions as easily as we breathe. 3. As an avid gamer, I'd like to point out we curse a lot more than we should, but avoiding curse words here, I would suggest you drop really altogether. Really is an adverb that we don't use as often as most people think. Try to use interjections if you want to sound more natural. "Oh, you are really going to get it now. You're going to lose badly this time." or "Ah, you are going to get it now! I swear you are going to lose this time." Something I want to point out here is that we don't need adverbs to emphasize a sentence. While we do use them a lot, it is suggested in writing that we avoid them. 4. "...self-interested and mouthy" might be a better way to say this sentence. I hope this helps you out.

    Okay, strange English grammar, here we go. First, I'm going to establish that the direct object (noun) is "voice", based on your question. So I am assuming that the sentence is written as "...passionate political voice..." Based on those assumptions, this is my best explanation. Adjectives are a pain. We have cumulative and coordinate adjectives. Coordinate adjectives can be separated with a comma or the word and. Cumulative adjectives struggle to be rearranged and cannot be separated with a comma or the word and. Can you replace the comma with the word and? "He spoke in a passionate and political voice..." Can you reverse the order of the adjectives? "He spoke in a political passionate voice..." This sentence sounds really strange to a native speaker's ears. It is out of order and doesn't roll off the tongue. I would say no here. It isn't an easy concept to understand, but a few really good everyday samples to keep in mind when working with adjectives would be Christmas tree and fire truck. We say "green Christmas tree" or "first Christmas tree". We do not say "Christmas green tree" or "Christmas first tree". In similar situations, we would say "red fire truck" or "old fire truck" but not "fire red truck" or "fire old truck". I hope that helps clear things up a bit.

    This is the sort of sentence I hate the most, but the answer rests with the ending of the sentence. Take the last portion of the sentence "Bryan writes in the introduction" and move it to the front of the sentence. Bryan writes in the introduction: "Ashley Bryan's ABC of African America Poetry honors twenty-five poems and one spiritual, "the root of Black song and poetry." This changes the structure of the sentence to make more sense, but it is still one of those sentences that is difficult to read. It actually rates poorly on the readability scale but it is still grammatically correct. You make the main sentence statement, then breath and finish it off with the note that Bryan wrote this in his introduction.

    In America, a holiday is a day of celebration based on religious or government ordained dates. We have Christmas and Independence Day, and many others. A vacation is a break, time off of work or away from home, to enjoy yourself, your friends, and your family. Usually these are unpaid days off work, though some companies, including the military, have paid vacation days. These are also similar to our medical leave days for things like maternity leave for new moms. I think American English can be too specific at times.
