์ƒˆ์†Œ์‹

Winter is finally here in the Southern hemisphere! I am hoping for lots of rain this winter since we are still recovering from a drought that’s been going on for the last couple of years. The part of South Africa I live in gets cold winter rain, not like in some Asian countries.

We had a big storm on Friday, the 21st of June. The wind was strong, similar to typhoon winds. We had heavy rain and a power line got blown over. We didn’t have electricity for a couple of hours but luckily that was fixed very quickly. Regarding the weather, I would like to share some interesting facts about my city, Cape Town. In the Early Modern Era, the first European to reach the cape was the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias on 12 March 1488, who named it the “Cape of Storms”. At Cape Point alone, a total of 26 shipwrecks tells the story of how many captains made the wrong decision in dangerous weather throughout history.
I waited out the storm and the rain under a couple of warm blankets with a cup of coffee and a good book to read. My cat decided to join me. In times like these, I often wonder how the homeless people over the world cope with weather like we recently experienced.

July 18th is Mandela Day, where people of all countries are encouraged to do 67 minutes of volunteer work. What you do does not matter, as long as it makes the world a better place. The teachers of Fluentella are going to do this, how about you?

ย  In China, We’ll start another summer vacation when July comes. My husband and I decided to go to Weihai, Shandong Province for a four-day vacation. Why choose Weihai? I visited my high school classmate in Weihai 12 years ago, where she was studying at university. As soon as I set foot in this beautiful coastal town, I was attracted by its cleanliness and beauty. There are beautiful beaches, clean streets, and fresh seafood to attract tourists. Many artists come here for inspiration. This time, our trip also involves visiting an island. There is nothing on the island but a cafe named C Island Artist.
C Island Artist is, in fact, a high-end sketch base, belonging to the Spring and Autumn Culture Group, adjacent to the Spring and Autumn Art Museum. It seems to be a paradise on the sea, welcome people who like art to visit. Hope we have a nice trip and get some inspiration for my language teaching, both in Chinese and English!

We need your help! These 4 teachers are still training and practicing before they officially become Fluentella teachers. I would like to ask you for 25 minutes of your child’s time or 50 minutes of your time to take a free lesson with them. Your level in the language is not important, you could take the lesson even if you have never spoken a word of the language! You will not be expected or asked to purchase lessons with them, the free lessons are just for them to practice the new skills they have learned. If you would like to help us, please visitย https://fluentella.com/shop/ย and click on Free Lessons. They are very excited to meet you and practice with you. I would really appreciate your help in this regard.

#tuesdaytip for learning #mandarin

“Speak first, then decide if you need to read and write.

Given the complexity of the Chinese written language, contrasted to the comparative simplicity of the grammar, prospective students of Chinese would do well to focus on learning to speak first, and only then tackle the written language if their studies or business require them to do so. While the tonal character of the spoken language is a challenge, this can be mastered fairly quickly, in contrast to the many years needed to achieve a working familiarity with the several thousand written characters that most educated Chinese adults have learned. Of course, most Chinese language programs simultaneously teach both the spoken and written language. It is up to the individual student to decide where to emphasize his or her needs.” Read more at

How you can contribute:
“Before you make a purchase, ask yourself 3 simple questions:

ย Do I actually need this?
ย Is there an option with less plastic packaging?
ย Is there an alternative made from recycled materials?

Be aware that recycling rules may change, and arenโ€™t necessarily always the โ€˜bestโ€™ option. In other words, โ€˜reduceโ€™ should still be your top priority. In saying that, you can still work towards becoming an expert recycler using these tips:

Find out whatโ€™s recyclable in your area:
ย Check the rules for recycling in your area (e.g. which items to separate, rinse or take to a specialist collection point)
ย Ask what can and canโ€™t go in your recycling bins (for example, many recycling systems canโ€™t take old toys, clothing, scrap metal or some types of plastic).” Thank youย @plasticfreejulyย for these great tips!ย 

Do you recycle? How do you reduce waste? Please share your ideas with us!

The Teachers at Fluentella are getting ready to take part in Mandela Day and contribute 67 minutes of their time to make the world a better place. So what exactly is Mandela Day?

“Over the past decade, Mandela Day has enjoyed global support and solidarity as an opportunity to practice commitment to uplifting the dignity of others and as a day to commemorate the lifetime of service Nelson Mandela gave to South Africa and the world. Mandela Day has moved away from an ad hoc, individualized, reactive approach and moved towards a sustainable, long-term, collaborative methodology to address issues affecting our society.

The new Mandela Day strategy will primarily encourage collaborative partnerships to support initiatives in the areas of education and literacy, food and nutrition, sanitation, shelter as well as active citizenship. This approach will see sharpened focus on early childhood development as a key investment area to make a significant dent in the scourge of poverty.” Read more at https://www.mandeladay.com/pages/what-can-i-doย

Tell old jokes on July 24th!

There’s nothing like an old joke to get you giggling and put some positivity back into your day.
One of the oldest English jokes is the classic ‘Knock-knock’. It has a quite unique and surprising history. It was once a popular game for adults. But before that, a similar form can be seen in Shakespeares’ Macbeth where a drunken porter meets three imaginary quests. Since then, the knock-knock joke became the first jokes westerners learn in preschool. Why are knock-knock jokes considered funny? They are question and answer jokes, usually ending in a pun. Here is a great example:
Knock Knock
Whoโ€™s there?
Boo.
Boo who?
Donโ€™t cry!
