Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it.

friend Ling asked me to help her with her English pronunciation at the beginning of this year. I tutored her for two weeks and we did not have very official tutoring time; so mostly, we communicated in English and I corrected her whenever I spotted a mistake. She is a Chinese girl who comes from Chengdu, and she has problems producing some of the sounds. For example, she always pronounces “six” as “sex”, which ultimately made her come to me since it kept embarrassing her. I first taught her some basic
