Tea, Talk & Textbooks: An ESL Podcast

Halo semua! Apa kabar? Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Hari Sabtu lalu saya punya janji dengan dokter gigi untuk membersihkan gigi saya.
Dokter gigi ini adalah dokter gigi baru di sekitar rumah saya.

Ketika dokter sedang membersihkan gigi saya, dia bilang di gigi bagian atas dan bawah ada beberapa lubang kecil. Lubang gigi artinya "虫歯” di Bahasa Jepang atau "cavity" di Bahasa Inggris. Hmm.. sebetulnya saya nggak merasa sakit apa pun, sih… 

Waktu dokter selesai membersihkan gigi dan saya mau membayar, dia berkata "Kamu perlu perawatan gigi 10 kali dari sekarang. Ayo kita buat janji untuk perawatan berikutnya". Saya langsung merasa sedikit aneh. Dokter ini mungkin mata duitan ya! Kalian bisa bayangkan arti dari "mata duitan" ? Hanya ada uang di matanya!
Kalau di Bahasa Jepang seperti ini, あの人はお金に執着している。
Kalau di Bahasa Inggris saya pikir artinya "money oriented". 

Jadi, saya memutuskan tidak mau pergi ke tempat dokter itu lagi. 
Kalian punya pengalaman dengan orang yang mata duitan? Kita harus selalu berhati-hati ya! 
Sampai di sini podcast saya kali ini. Sampai jumpa lagi ^^

Are you trying to speak too fast in English?

So you want to sound more like a native English speaker. That means you have to speak fast English, right?

Noooo waaaay :)

There is a danger with speaking fast - you might lose clarity of what you are saying ..

You may think you’ll impress people with how quickly the words come out of your mouth, but what they really want is to understand you.

When you speak too quickly, you might start mumbling, dropping important sounds, or rushing through your vowels. 

Is this the kind of impression you'd like to create? What if people that are listening to you have a challenge with listening, what will this mean? ..

Listen to the recording and to some suggestions I have for you + listen to my speed too and reflect on my example when communicating in English daily 

Making it a permanent habit will make all the difference.

I hope it helps and chooe&book some of my limited slots to train with me now.
