Summary:

Today was the second time the teacher Rina taught me. Every teacher in Langrich might take some notes of lessons or students. At this time, she remembered my weak points.
She pointed out one of my weaknesses that I wasn't able to pronounce "æ" well last time, and did again. I tried though. Today's pronunciation practice was "t" and "d". They are really easy to say. Tongue twisters weren't so hard.
And good news is I finally overcame the common and frequent word; dollar. Every time I go to the united states, native americans cannot understand my "dollar". But, it's over! No more "buck" instead of "dollar". I now can pronounce "dollar". Teacher also said there were no funny sounds.
I really don't know why but I can't write today. My sentences I typed are very messy. So, I just end this up for today.
