Oh, while I remember the name. Why is a writer? Okay. This is another goal. Good.
Speaker 1
Good. Very good. All right. So, students, you guys saw, I'm going to tell them real quick. You guys saw the book that Danielle showed to you guys, the picture maker. You guys can check out that book. And he also mentioned some other ones as well. So, you guys can look at those too. So, thank you for those suggestions. Now, this is an interesting question. I really like this question because it's an opportunity to give their opinion. So, in your opinion, what makes a good English teacher? If you could pick three things, what are three things that make a good English
Speaker 2
teacher? The
Speaker 1
pronunciation?
Speaker 2
Convenience.
Speaker 1
Convenience? Cool.
Speaker 2
Cool videos. Cool.
Speaker 1
Pager?
Speaker 2
Cool videos. Amazing videos. Amazing videos. The teacher sent the good message and the videos. I like it too, because it's the person putting the camera and talking blah blah blah blah in the letters, and then letters, and then the kids, you videos are found. I like it. I like it. The third thing is the passion. I saw the passion while the teacher learned. The teacher, I saw the passion. I listened and said, hi, this is the passion. I love the passion. Wow. Those are good
Speaker 1
ones. Thank you. So, again, guys, Danielle said, the teacher's pronunciation, very important. I also think the same thing. When I was learning Korean, pronunciation was very important for my teachers too. Cool videos. Thank you for the compliment and also passion. Very good. You know what's funny, those are three of the main things that I focus on. It really feels like you know me. I really, yeah, when it comes to pronunciation, when I was teaching in Korea, I always made sure my students' pronunciation was good. I said, because even if you don't know the words or vocabulary, if we can understand your pronunciation, it's okay. And the second thing, cool videos. Yeah. I really like visual graphics because I want something to be interesting to my eyes too. And
Speaker 2
then, blow my mind and say, oh my God, what you said, put in the video, the schedule. Yeah. I say, wow, this is great. A little pizza here. Here. I feel good. Okay. This is amazing. This is amazing. This is for me. It's the best video. Thank you so much. Thank you for your show. I
Speaker 1
really appreciate that. I'm very happy that you are part of it. I'm very happy. Okay. Then let me ask you this. I know that you said you're currently, currently means now you're studying English because you want to get a better job. You want to get a better job? Yes. How has English changed your life?
Speaker 2
How? I have a morning. I have a lot of opportunity. Yeah. Maybe in the future, I will travel to another country. This is a problem with me speaking English. English may be open a lot of language because I have a reading because I wish to learn Italy. Italian?
Speaker 1
Italian?
Speaker 2
French and Germany. Oh,
Speaker 1
German. Nice. Yeah. But Germany
Speaker 2
is more than the comp, right? Yeah. So, often they will be in this open everything. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Very true. A lot of opportunities. Wow. Hopefully one day you'll be able to come to America and then we can go to a pizza place together.
Speaker 2
Good. Yeah. Bring
Speaker 1
your wife and we can
Speaker 2
all go to. I am invited. I am
Speaker 1
invited. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Yeah. In Korea, there's something they do. So, in Korea, they do, when you make a promise, they do a picky promise like that. So, I was picking a promise. So, yes. Picky promise. Good. Okay. All right. What is now? You told me your dream is to come to America and order pizza without using hand signals but actually speaking. Do you have any other dreams? I know you want to travel. Any
Speaker 2
other dreams? Yes. I visited my family. He'll leave. He'll leave. He'll just have all I saw in the multi-media. But it's not the... I like to touch the person. Okay. I love the top contact. But it's a place I love when I kill. It's a mountain, Rosemary. I'm out of Rushmore. Yeah. I love the nature. So, this is another goal.
Speaker 1
You want to visit Mount Rushmore again, huh?
Speaker 2
Yeah. I know. I crazy about it. It's just a thing. It seems real bad. I don't think
Speaker 1
you're crazy. I think it's an amazing dream. I always think it's good to have a dream and it's good to work towards something. You ever heard the expression, put the work
Speaker 2
in? No, never.
Speaker 1
Okay. Now, this is a sneak peek this week for our YouTube video lesson. This is an expression I'm going to teach but I'll teach you early. So, put the work in means to give all of your effort and to work hard. So, I believe that you can reach all of your dreams if you put the work in. So, I mean, if you work hard, no problem.
Speaker 2
You can do it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. You can do it.
Speaker 1
Okay. Last question is, do you have any advice? There are many students in the academy and they'll watch your video and they'll see you and I having a good conversation. What advice can you give other students? Don't
Speaker 2
have fears.
In today’s episode, you will learn more about one of my student’s experiences with studying English.
