Who wants to sound like a native English speaker from the United States? Maybe you're wanting to visit the United States. Maybe you're wanting to move to the United States. Maybe you got a job in the United States and you want to be able to communicate with people in your new neighborhood. Or maybe you already live in the United States but were born in another country, but you want to learn how to sound more like you live here. You want to talk to people in the grocery store, book store and more! But your accent is bothering you. Have you ever had someone from the United States really judge your pronunciation? Really listen to all the sounds you make when you speak? Then let you know what letter sounds that you say wrong in American English? Then actually teach you how to say American English letter sounds clearly and correctly. So your nouns, vowels etc sound really clear and understandable. Not like.. 'Sort of like American English' but really American English. That way your listener knows exactly what you're saying without confusion, hesitation, assumptions, mis understanding. Wouldn't your listener appreciate that? Wouldn't that make the conversation more free flowing and more enjoyable? Check out my tutor profile and book a lesson of mine. I've been tutoring students around the world since 2018 to sound more American.

Hi! I'm still in Phu Quoc. I was able to change my hotel because it was too noisy in the old one. Well, I feel really tired because I've changed a lot of places for living lately.

Todos queremos mejorar a la hora de hablar Inglés, la pregunta del millón... ¿Cómo? Hay muchas maneras y me da gusto poder compartir contigo tan sólo una... Mi dicho es: ya todos hablamos Inglés es sólo que todavía no nos damos cuenta. ¿No me crees? Te lo compruebo justo ahora: tú ya sabes cómo se dice la palabra "enfrentar", ¿Te acuerdas cómo se llama esa red social que tiene la F azul? El face... y así se dice enfrentar o encarar en Inglés. ¿Te gustaría aprender más palabras así de fácil?

I came across an interesting comments online about the pros and cons when you turn on your personal computer(PC) all the time. I often use my PC at work and at home, too. So, I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points here. Many people might worry about if we should turn off your PC after you work every time you use it. Because it takes some time to start up your PC again once you shutdown it. The upsides to keep turning on PC are as follows 1) It turns on quickly 2) It puts less strain on Hard Disc Drive(HDD) 3) Data in the storage is hard to be gone. These are in case of long use at work. On the other hand, the downsides are 1) It eats a lot of electricity bill. 2) It deteriorates and shortens lifespan of a PC. 3) The cooling fan is noisy during the night 4) Sometimes it is forced to be shutdown for some reason. Especially regarding electricity bill, a penny saved a penny earned. The comments shows how you should handle depending on the use frequency of your PC. A) A few times a week: Shutdown every time after you are done. You sometimes start up your PC even when you don't have to use it. B) A few times a day: Use sleep function during the day and shutdown your PC during the night. C) Long time use every day: Basically use sleep function. Shutdown it once a week. I think I have to distinguish my PC depending on where I use it,
