VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Focus for pronunciation: “eh” in “friend”, “uh” in “wun”

Every time when I told someone I was learning English. They probably asked me a same question. Why don’t you make a foreign boyfriend to learn English? I think in their my mind, this is a good way to study English, but for me, it doesn’t work. First, I’m not a confident person and I’m a little quiet, so when I use a language that I haven’t know well I will be nervous. Second, if you really have a foreign boyfriend, but I guess the most important thing isn’t to learn a foreign language. I have met several foreign guys, but I didn’t learn too much from them, so I think it isn’t a good idea to find a foreign to learn English for me.

Every time when I told someone I am learning English, they mostly asked me the same question. Why don’t you get a western boyfriend to learn English? I think in their my minds, this is a good way to study English, but for me, it wouldn’t work. First, I’m not a confident person and I’m a little quiet, so when I use a language that I haven’t learned / don’t know very well I will be nervous. Second, if you really have a western boyfriend, I guess the most important thing isn’t to learn / learning a foreign language. I have met several western guys, but I didn’t learn too much from them, so I think it isn’t a good idea to find a westerner to learn English for me.
