岁月如歌，指引你不断前行💜

Great article, Facundo! :) Having lived in that part of the world (Paraguay), you've brought back memories for me and have made my mouth water (Asado ... mmmmmmm ... )!!! I'll definitely have to give Uruguay a go one day, and even more so now that one of my idols (Marcelo Bielsa) is going to be the manager of your nationa team.

Great article, Sam! As a pronunciation specialist, I couldn't agree with you more. Recording oneself is the single most powerful tool to have at your disposal. However, as Nao rightly said: "what if you hear something is different (a vowel sound for example), but you don't know how or why it's different?" That's when you need a professional teacher to help you to develop a deep awareness of the English sound system, how it compares to yours, and how you can make the sounds by using sounds you can already do correctly in English or in your first language. Once you have developed that awareness, there are no limits to what you can achieve.

Hi, Could you please give us more of a context, and then we can answer you properly. Where is this extract from? Regards, Andrew

Hi there, All good from Stallone except: rig a system: set up a system, typically in a makeshift (acting as an interim and temporary measure) or hasty way (done with excessive speed or urgency; hurried). I wouldn't say that it is done without any kind of planning. tinker: attempt to repair or improve something in a casual or desultory (lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm) way. By the way, those definitions are from lexico.com, which I find is an excellent resource. One last thing: maybe you already did, but try to work out the meaning of unknown vocabulary from the surrounding context. For example, it should be pretty obvious what a 'trapdoor' is, as we have numerous contextual clues, for example, door, hide. Kind regards, Andrew B

My non-sugar-coated opinion is: it's useless. Why waste time and resources adding pointless things to the platform when that time and those resources would be better spent on fixing existing problems/bugs which only serve to make the platform look shoddy. I mean, for example, does a student really want to read a teacher testimonial that has the end chopped off it? Answer: absolutely not. So, please listen to us teachers and fix things instead of painting over the cracks by adding more pointless things. Thank you in advance IF anyone actually bothers to read this and take action.

First of all, I want to thank you for staying in China, whether that is for your fans or for yourself. I know that you were maybe just kidding about what you said in the vlog, but after today's vlog, you've maybe received a lot of comments from fans about how to apply to xx University (a famous university), right? I just want to say that you live your own life and can actually do anything you want without trying to butter up fans. So please don't change yourself for the sake of your fans, and just keep being yourself! I hope that helps you! Best, Andrew

Would you like to share a wonderful song with me (in any language)? I'd really appreciate it.💖💖💖
