I've been seeing a trend recently that many teachers are saying focus on fluency ( communication) and accuracy (no mistakes) will come with time. This episode is my take on this. 

I'd love to hear your opinions in the comments

우리 이렇게 만난 게 얼마만이지?
我们这是多久没见面了?

대략 10년만인 것 같아. 오늘 맛있는 한 끼 먹자.
大概十年了吧。今天我们好好儿吃一顿。

냉면이랑 만두 먹는 거 어때?
吃冷面和饺子, 怎么样? 

맛있겠다! 생각만 해도 군침이 돈다. 
肯定好吃！一想到就流口水了。

대략, 약 大概
한 끼 一顿
냉면 冷面
만두 饺子
군침이 돌다 流口水

우리 이렇게 만난 게 얼마만이지? 我们这是多久没见面了?

New Year is the perfect time for people to try new things, like changing their diet or habits. Some people take part in Veganuary, an annual challenge where they avoid eating animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs during January.

Veganuary first started in 2014 as a fun way to explore a vegan lifestyle and see how it feels. Since then, plant-based eating has gained popularity, and it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer at least one vegan option on their menus.

But a study has found that many meat-eaters end up feeling disgusted by meat after trying Veganuary.

Researchers studied 40 meat-eaters before and after Veganuary.

They found that, although most participants went back to eating meat when the month had ended, they felt more disgusted about doing so. And people who ate the least amount of meat during the challenge felt the most disgust afterwards.

A separate 2023 study on 46 Veganuary participants found that they were much less likely to describe themselves as meat-eaters after taking part in the challenge.

Scientists suggest that this change happens because people feel uncomfortable when their actions don't match their beliefs. Many enjoy the taste and convenience of eating meat, but they also feel guilty about the cruelty of factory farming.

So by giving up meat during Veganuary, participants may start to think more about these issues and develop negative feelings toward eating meat.

This research shows that even a short-term change in behavior can change the way you think, says Natalia Lawrence, a scientist from the University of Exeter who worked on the studies.

"Normally, the idea is to educate people first to change their attitudes, and hopefully they end up changing their behaviour," she told The Guardian.

"But if you persuade people to change their behaviour for a month, it seems that these things follow."
