Hello, buddies! Before going to bed, I would like to share a good way to practice our speaking! This is not new, but some people may miss it! Hope it helps you a little bit! @Shane Peterson thanks so much for your sharing!

📖 Book Don't Sweat the Small Stuff … and It's All Small Stuff by Richard Carlson, PhD. Synopsis: Simple ways to keep little things from taking over your life. The book consists of 100 short articles -- we'll go through them week by week. This week’s # 23: Experiment with Your Back Burner Here's what you need to do: 1. Read it yourself, take time to reflect on it and make notes. 2. Join the live reading on Wednesday. We'll read and listen to the article together, line by line. 3. Share your thoughts. Keep your answer under 4 minutes. Be clear, and focus on expressing your ideas about the topic to practice real English speaking. No debates, just sharing thoughts. ***** Your back burner is an excellent tool for remembering a fact or bringing forth an insight. It's an almost effortless yet effective way of using your mind when you might otherwise start feeling stressed out. Using your back burner means allowing your mind to solve a problem while you are busy doing something else, here in the present moment. The back burner of your mind works in the same way as the back burner of a stove. While on low heat, the cooking process mixes, blends, and simmers the ingredients into a tasty meal. The way you prepared this meal was to throw the various ingredients into the pot, mix them up, and leave them alone. Often the less you interfere, the better the result. In much the same way, we can solve many of life's problems (serious and otherwise) if we feed the back burner of our mind with a list of problems, facts, and variables, and possible solutions. Just as when we make soup or a sauce, the thoughts and ideas we feed the back burner of our mind must be left alone to simmer properly. Whether you are struggling to solve a problem or can't remember a person's name, your back burner is always available to help you. It puts our quieter, softer, and sometimes most intelligent source of thinking to work for us on issues that we have no immediate answer for. The back burner is not a prescription for denial or procrastination. In other words, while you do want to put your problems on your back burner, you don't want to turn the burner off. Instead, you want to gently hold the problem in your mind without actively analyzing it. This simple technique will help you solve many problems and will greatly reduce the stress and effort in your life.

So, February 26 — our weekly class: Throwback PIRFsday, every Thursday ⏰ 👉 Calendar Link Here’s what we’ll do: Go through one of the “old” PIRF assignments and… Do VF (Vowel Foul) 😜 Practice pronunciation 🗣️ Read the whole assignment 📝 My assistant Super Mariel @Mariel Liang will, as always, be watching out for me and lending a hand. 🤝 PRACTICING TOGETHER, IMPROVING BIG TIME! 💪 "PIRF 440 is small…but mighty! You’re talking about a mandarin (a small orange!)— but really, you’re talking about joy. Simple, everyday joy. No big speech, no deep meaning—just genuine happiness from something tiny and sweet. Keep your tone light, warm, maybe even a little silly. Make us feel that little burst of sunshine. Don’t forget the Vowel Foul!" Your English coach, Coach @Shane Peterson

Sorry, I’m NERDING OUT about Seinfeld again 😆 Today I was listening to the new episode, “The Chinese Woman,” of the Ruining Seinfeld podcast, and I want to share—once again—my Seinfeld Protocol. It really works for me when it comes to improving my listening and comprehension skills. Step 1: Listen to the episode in MP3 https://www.skool.com/lme/classroom/8f1b40f8?md=2108088068e34c0a8926ed902f5a730b Step 2: Listen to the podcast about the episode https://www.skool.com/lme/classroom/8f1b40f8?md=2108088068e34c0a8926ed902f5a730b Step 3: Watch the episode in HD https://www.skool.com/lme/classroom/8f1b40f8?md=2108088068e34c0a8926ed902f5a730b Step 4: Repeat (optional) The idea is that listening comes first, and while you’re listening to it, you use your imagination to try to figure out what’s going on. Then you watch the episode, and that’s where the magic happens. It’s like you’ve been in the dark for a long time, let's say in the tunnel, struggling to find the exit, and finally, you make it. I know different strokes work for different folks. Give it a shot though and let me know if it works for you. WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER!🤝
