O Chris é muito atento às pequenas diferenças nos sons entre português e inglês. Nessa aula, nós estudamos e praticamos os sons /p/, /k/ e /t/ e focamos na questão da aspiração. Parabéns, Chris! Estou muito feliz de ver o seu português melhorando cada vez mais.

    What do most tourists miss out on when they visit your city?
    Here in my city of Nashville, Tennessee, tourists come from all over the world to experience the country music downtown and to see the replica of the Parthenon from Greece. While Music City nightlife and historical monuments are always fun to visit, I think tourists are missing out on a fun bar called Santa's Pub. Adorned year-round with Christmas decorations, Santa's Pub is a karaoke bar owned by a sweet old man with a white beard and his wife who will always smile and applaud no matter how terribly you and your drunk friends are singing.
    During the night, you'll see several crowds of people come and go. First, there's the old school crowd. These are the ones who will sing the ballads only your parents know the words to. While the Baby Boomer crowd gets closer to their bedtime, It's time for the college kids and tourists to get up there and sing classics from the 90s and mid 2000s. Things can get a little emotional as singers dedicate songs to people who are no longer in their lives. At other times, you can feel the whole room vibrate and tremble as people stomp, clap, and sing until they can't anymore.
    If you ever come to visit Nashville, don't forget to visit Santa's pub where everyone will love to sing along to the song you've been listening to for the past couple of months.

    Which "secret" place do you think tourists miss out on when they visit your city? Leave your suggestions in the comments and I'll make sure to put it on my list of places to check out!

    What's the most difficult thing about your target language?
    Right now, I'm having trouble with Russian cases and aspects. There are so many different variations for a word depending on the context! 😭😭😭

    What's difficult for you to grasp in your target language?

    The perfect teacher
    If you had the chance to build the perfect teacher for your needs, what would he or she be like?

    What would you like about their teaching methods?
    What about their personality?
    What would make you keep coming back as a student?

    @vince I totally agree. Not being able to communicate sucks no matter what. My intermediate students argue that it's easier for beginners to feel good about their language level because their world is so limited and every small improvement is monumental. When you reach the intermediate and advanced levels on the other hand, learning a new grammar structure or connected speech technique isn't that impressive.

    If you could go back in time...
    If you could go back in time to give advice to yourself during the beginning of your language-learning journey, what would you say to yourself?

    When I look back, I can see so many missed opportunities.

    What movie/series villain are you most similar to?
    Personally, all my friends tell me that I remind them of Gus from <em>Breaking Bad </em>because of how my Spanish sounds. 😂

    Are there any villains you look like, act like, or relate to?

    Thanks everybody for your comments! I think we can all agree that, while success can mean many things, both education and hard work (among many other qualities) go into the things we covet most.

    @slice so true. Why do you think some parents try to push college on their kids? Do you think there's less pressure these days?
