Ray encourages us to find hope and not feel fear during the corona virus. Two ways are to not read too much news and to read the Bible. Ray is also starting new online classes soon so get ready for those!
Ray encourages us to think about our dreams and start making them a reality by taking small steps.
Ray teaches us about English homophones! Can you find any?
In this podcast, Ray talks about four katakana words (キッチンペーパー、タレント、ホットケーキ、フライドポテト）and gives a quiz to see which ones are Janglish (和製英語) and which ones are normal English. Listen to the quiz and see if you can get them right!
Today we learn how to master the "R" and "L" sound by making a small circle with our mouths for "R" and a big smile for "L"! Ray takes us through several examples so we can practice and also recommends an app he made for iOS called "発音どっち？" ("Hatsuon Docchi?") which can be downloaded from the iOS app store. Happy studying!
Ray started a new diet this year! He talks about it and encourages everyone who wants to get healthier to go for it. Let's do it together!
Ray wishes everyone a Happy New Year from YouSpeak! He also encourages us to stop waiting for our dreams to come true. 2020 is the perfect time to start acting on the dreams God has put in our hearts and to see them come to reality.
Ray visits San Francisco and Silicon valley and gets some miracle rain on the way there!
