Ep. #12 - Natur

I use HSK 1 vocabulary to tell you a Chinese folktale, the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid .

八百年前，有一个人，他有一只牛，他没有钱，他的家很小很小，大家都叫他牛郎。牛郎天天给牛吃好吃的东西，牛很喜欢牛郎。牛郎十八岁了，还没有女朋友。牛郎的牛会说话，有一天，他说，牛郎，你明天工作的时候，晚一点回家，你会看见一个美女，她是你的女朋友。 
天上有一个女人，她很漂亮，大家都叫她织女。织女八岁的时候，喜欢了一个男孩。这个男孩有一只牛。织女在天上工作，她工作的时候，可以看到牛郎。织女很想和牛郎说话。可是她的妈妈说，她太小了，现在还不可以有男朋友。现在织女十六岁了，她很想有一个男朋友。
有一天，她和朋友一起去玩水。她们很高兴，玩了五个小时，还不想回家。晚上六点，她们要回家的时候，下雨了。雨很大。织女的朋友们都飞回家了。可是织女的衣服不见了。这时候，织女听见一个人说：你好，请问这是你的衣服吗？织女不好意思地说：是的，谢谢你。织女看见这个人是牛郎，她心里非常高兴。织女很漂亮，是一个大美女。牛郎很喜欢织女，他很想织女做他女朋友，他说：“现在下大雨，你要不要去我家坐坐？” 织女高兴地说：“很谢谢你，我们去你家吧。” 牛郎做饭给织女吃，织女做漂亮的衣服给牛郎。织女和牛郎住在一起了，他们都很高兴。织女的妈妈知道后，她在天上看织女的男朋友。 她知道牛郎没有钱后，她不高兴了，她不想女儿和牛郎在一起。她叫织女回家。可是织女很喜欢和牛郎住在一起。织女不想回家了。一年后，她和牛郎有一个女儿。他们的女儿很可爱。织女很爱这个家。
织女妈妈知道后很不高兴。她去了牛郎家，带（dài = to bring）织女回家。织女回家后很不高兴，她很想回去牛郎家，看看牛郎和她的女儿。织女的爸爸很爱她，他叫牛郎七月七日来天上，看看织女。牛郎很高兴，他和女儿每年七月七日都会坐牛飞到天上，看织女。

In this episode we are going to learn how to talk about【Weekend plan】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

周末计划 Weekend plan（for beginner）

My English grammar is poor - how to improve that? Episode 399

Why learners think their grammar is poor:

1 .Comparison with Native Speakers
2. Fear of Judgment
3. Perfectionism
4. Focus on Mistakes
5. Cultural Differences
6. Lack of Confidence
7. Unrealistic Expectations
8. Overly Focused on Formal Grammar

Which one are you? Did you even know that ALL students do it and you are not alone in it? :)

How to correct the thinking pattern:

Reframe the Belief: Instead of “My grammar is poor,” rephrase it to something more constructive, such as: “My grammar is still developing,” “I’m making progress in my English,” or “I’m learning new grammar every day.” This shift in mindset is crucial.

Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Celebrate small victories. Notice your improvements, no matter how subtle. Track your progress.

Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities: View mistakes as opportunities for growth. Don’t dwell on errors; instead, learn from them and move on. This is a key part of the language learning process.

Compare Yourself to Your Past Self, Not Native Speakers: Focus on your own improvement, recognizing that language acquisition takes time and dedication. Celebrate your progress.

Build Confidence: Engage in activities where you can feel successful. This might involve writing, speaking, or simply listening to English. Focus on the positive aspects of your ability.

Focus on Communication, Not Just Accuracy: The most important thing is to communicate effectively, even if your grammar isn’t perfect. Emphasis should be on understanding and being understood.

Which point did you like best that you are going to incorporate in your mental image from now on?

and let me know what are your current challenges are that I can help you to overcome them step by step.
