I'm shy about speaking
English professionally.

我不覺定雙語教學是否有必要,
但是這個老師很帥所以我加減留下來聽課。

I need to practice speaking
with a natural accent.

Teacher says...

Homework

Accent evaluation. "Please call Stella..."

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Welcome back!

Don't worry.
