Quick tip: as silly as It sounds, watching kids show in the language you're learning helps a lot ! :D I mean, if they're meant to teach kids to speak their very first language, why wouldn't it help older people learn a new one?

If you want to get fluent you have to view it as starting from zero, the same way everyone started from zero when they learnt their mother/first language as kids! Good luck!

Quick Funfact & tip:

Did you ever realise that different languages use different parts of the mouth/throat to make sounds? Once you realise that and identify where the sound comes from, it gets easier to learn pronunciation!

For example, English is spoken using the back of the throat— while Korean is spoken using the front of the mouth. This might explain why Korean-speakers pout so much while talking ahahah! Give it a try!

So there’s a scene near the beginning of the live action movie of Madeline where Miss Clavel runs to the dorm because “something isn’t right” and the following conversation ensues:

Agatha: Madeline is burning up Miss Clavel! Chantel: Should we call the fire department? Miss Clavel: No Chantel, that’s a metaphor. Vicky: Yeah, like Chantel is as thick as a plank. Miss Clavel: Victoria! Another Girl, thoughtfully: That’s a simile. 

Anyway, so that bit of dialogue is how, even as an adult that has taken every writing class I can get my hands on, I remember the difference between a metaphor and a simile.

Got any odd memory things like that?

Here is Cricket working on a recent trick, Play Dead! We use a finger gun motion and say ‘bang’. Then she’s supposed to flop over on her side and wait to be rewarded. My brother is the one doing the training with her, and my mom filmed it. Such a precious little bean Miss Cricket is! I can’t even begin to describe how much I love her.
