Show 1190 Monday 8 March
Watch today's show at YouTube
Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.
As you may know, last month I did a language learning challenge which was to write a diary on this site.
And I’m doing another challenge this month. I’m doing a series of videos which I’m posting
I did a project before with that channel where I did a video blog every day for a month in Japanese and I got people to correct my Japanese. And that went really well.
And this time I’m trying something different. What I’m doing is copying something a Japanese speaker has said in a video that I’ve seen online. I think copying people is a really useful language learning exercise, so I’m going to try copying all kinds of people saying different things in different situations.
