 ☞The "是... 的" construction for emphasizing details
the 是⋯⋯的 construction is frequently used when asking or telling details about the past.Although this structure is called the 是⋯⋯的 construction, the 是 is nearly always optional. You will often hear this structure with 是 omitted, so be aware. The only time 是 is required in this construction is when it's being negated. Other than that, 是 is commonly omitted.

A: 你 骑 自行车 来 的 吗 ？(Emphasizing "by bike")

Each language has it's own way to pronunciate and express what you want to say. To express your thoughts. So in order to achieve that we a have one of the most beautiful tools within our body, the voice. The voice is a result of breathing, vocal cords and the mouth system. Muscles outer and inner ones, tongue, teeth and airflow basically. So if you want to pronunciate correctly from one language to another you just need to become aware and imitate the same movements.
How?
In fron of a mirror
read a list ow words in your own language and in the language you want to learn.
slowly pronunciate your words and the new words.
Become aware of the movements you give for granted and the new movements.
Feel your mouth.

It is a process where you need to slow down form any of your rush from the day. A chance to know better and a kind of mindful meditation as well. So many things to be grateful! Just play with it and with patience you are going to talk even better than me..

Yes but how do I know the new movements and how they sounds?
Listen to my podcast and search on videos that are showing you the mouth sounds, or simpler follow my simple method. Repeat!

List to use:

Ramarro (RRRRR, ramaRRo) - green lizard
palazzo (TSO, palaTSO) - building
colletto (Tstrong, colleTTO) - collar, white collar
coraggio (JJYO, coraJJYO) - courage
possibile Slong - SSSSSnake) - possible
tetto (Tstrong, teTTO) - roof
doppio (Pstrong, doPPYO) - double
pallone (Lstrong, paLLone) - ball

SituaZIONE (situaTSYOne) - situation

You can do it!

Going back to Japan (Intermediate)

저 어제 월급 탔어요.
제가 밥 사줄게요.
我昨天领工资了。
我请你吃一顿。

정말요? 그럼 저야 좋지요! 
뭐 사줄 건데요?
真的吗？ 那我可太高兴了！
你要请我吃什么？

이번에 우리 동네에 패밀리 레스토랑이
새로 생겼다고 하더라고요.
우리 거기 가봐요.
最近我们小区里新开了一家家族西餐厅。
我们去那儿吧。

신난다! 
근데 너무 무리하는 거 아니에요?
好开心！
但是你会不会有负担啊？
