I will teach you to become a confident English speaker without schools and rules
I saw saw something unusual this weekend.
Saturday I left my temporary covid home at my parents’ farm and I crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains to visit my sister and her family.
I passed small towns, small shops and drove on narrow lanes.

It’s more than that.
This weekend I went online to see how much a ticket from the US to Prague costs.

Man, that’s cheap!
Have you ever tried to cross an ocean by yourself?
I haven’t.
I imagine it would be difficult.
What’s the average person’s #1 fear?
It’s not dying.
It’s actually public speaking.
“Fear and frustration.”

Fear: Fear of mistakes. Fear of what the other person will think. Fear of embarrassment.
Verb tenses…
Vocabulary…
