Learning English grammar and vocabulary is excellent fun!    However, to master the language, you must use it genuinely to discuss various topics and learn new things in English.     That means discussing issues and themes you like and those you do not.        I will be the first to tell you that perfection is impossible because no one and nothing is perfect.      With that said, it is human nature to strive for perfection.      Maintain your discipline and learn something new every day.    The key to improvement is consistency and repetition.    This is a brief introduction to the English conversation lesson, Embrace the Hard.   I'm sure you'll find it engaging and insightful.     You can access the webpage for the lesson Embrace the Hard here: https://links.artisanenglish.jp/LessonEmbraceTheHard   At ArtisanEnglish.jp, I emphasize helping students improve the sophistication of their English through meaningful communication, while providing 100% error correction and detailed written feedback after each lesson.      https://links.artisanenglish.jp/TrialLesson     If you'd like to try a FREE TRIAL LESSON, please get in touch with me, David, at https://www.artisanenglish.jp/contact/       If you are already an ArtisanEnglish.jp student, you can book or preview all the lesson materials.      Here are some other discussion topics related to resilience, which you may find interesting:    1)  Resilience Website: https://links.artisanenglish.jp/LessonResilience Spotify:  YouTube:   2) Pre-crastination or Procrastination Website: https://links.artisanenglish.jp/LessonPreOrProcrastination Spotify: https://b.link/ArtisanEnglishSpotifyPreOrProcrastination YouTube: https://youtu.be/9Z1p9Zrmp88  3) Self-talk Website: https://links.artisanenglish.jp/LessonSelf-talk Spotify: https://links.artisanenglish.jp/SpotifySelf-Talk YouTube: https://youtu.be/8bkncVD1NXY  4) The Silent Generation Website: https://links.artisanenglish.jp/LessonTheSilentGeneration Spotify:  YouTube:     As always, maintain your discipline and learn something new every day.     Cheers, David.  Website: https://www.artisanenglish.jp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artisanenglish.jp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.artisanenglish.jp/ X: https://x.com/ArtisanEnglish YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Artisanenglish Spotify Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/artisanenglishjp
