This is very kind for beginners to be able to indicate a wish to do. It's notable that she sent me this before my lesson. The list helped to move on what I wanted to study, smoothly.
In a while, she called me, and, we introduced each other briefly. I selected the Pronunciation Lesson 1 that contained how to pronunce "L" and "R". Her lesson was; I spoke out the word/sentence on the textbook first, she would tell me if my pronunciation was weird. The words I couldn't pronunce well were below.
