Day 3 - Free Talk

Class data:

• Teacher: Orly (lr.orly)
• Lesson: Free talk (and little bit of pronunciation practices)
• Schedule: 09:00-

What we did today:

1. Introduction / 23 min
2. Pronunciation / 2 min

Summary:

Orly is a guy majored Nursing and already graduated. However, he said, Philippine doesn't have enough hospitals for new graduates. That is why he works at Langrich. I thought he still looking for his new nursing job.

He also liked talk about girls and daily doing. We talked about our recent situations.
After introductions, the topic was changed to the economy in Japan. I told Japanese economy is now steady. If China market went down, our country would also be down because we seriously are depending on China. Also, Korean electronic companies, such as LG or Samsung, hit Japanese companies. (e.g. Sony, Sharp, Panasonic)
When the this conversation was done, we realized the time was ending up soon. So I just asked two words to try to pronunce. The words were "see" and "she". I really can't make a pronunciation difference between them. He taught how to pronunce them quickly. "see" is "C" and "she" is like "shh!",  then our time was up. I felt I coud't take the pronunciation lesson enough. I will retry to study this tomorrow morning.
