ð Esther in [comment section].
ð"I really enjoyed the translation. Thank you, teacher!" - Kelsey
âĪïļ"Ever since I met Esther, I've adopted a more 'military' attitude towards learning ð Esther is not only an incredible teacher but also an extraordinary person! Whenever she poses a question, she brings a fresh perspective and expands our worldview ðĪĐ" - Jack
ð"Today, I continued reading 'The Little Prince' using the rule of focusing on the main idea of each sentence rather than every individual word. While it's been said that you can read an English novel without constantly using a dictionary and try to deduce the meaning from context, I still find it challenging to put into practice. However, when Esther introduced me to 'The Little Prince,' I felt like it was easier to implement =)" - Anonymous
ð"Instead of following the teacher's lead and concluding the course, we spent a lot of time discussing the structure of the topic and then delved into related issues during our video sessions. The benefit is that you spend more time reflecting and discussing, which refines your own interpretation of the text. By the way, Esther also helped me create an English learning blueprint and plan, and I felt motivated after the first class~" - Anonymous
ð"The debate class was like a philosophical and pragmatic exchange of ideas that stimulated my curiosity to learn about the views and stories of people from all corners of the world regarding different issues. Through topic preparation and discussion, I not only learned more about the issues, but I also reflected more deeply on my own values and the significance of social care, which wasn't something I expected before the class, but definitely a price s gain after the course ended! Thank you Esther~ for designing the course with such care ð and inviting me to such an interesting class " - Macy

I also like the quote in the movie from Connie

Lastly we discussed positive reinforcement in the movie.
