The joy of learning

Just started on the Speak English like a Native course taught by Siu Sir.

Siu Sir is superbly insightful about how the Cantonese language has moulded the way we make sounds. And he's surprisingly effective at helping us find ways to make novel sounds we've never made before, and feel new rhythms we've never felt before. In doing so we don't just learn to lose the Hong Kong accent; we are in fact exercising parts of our brain that the Cantonese language never touches. For that I know I'm going to be eternally thankful.

This course is so different from all the others, because this time I'm learning for the sole purpose of enriching my mind. Haven't had this feeling of pure bliss in a while.
