10. Pattern Reflection
Before moving to Lesson 13, ask yourself:
[ ] Can I talk about my family?
[ ] Can I describe family members?
[ ] Can I talk about family activities?
[ ] Can I connect multiple ideas together?
[ ] Can I speak about my family for one minute?
👉 If yes, continue. If not, practice again.
💥 Key Lesson Insight
Many learners know family vocabulary. Few learners can actually talk about their family. (ຄົນຮຽນພາສາອັງກິດຫຼາຍຄົນຮູ້ຈັກຄຳສັບກ່ຽວກັບຄອບຄົວ. ແຕ່ມີໜ້ອຍຄົນທີ່ສາມາດເວົ້າເລື່ອງຄອບຄົວຂອງຕົນເອງອອກມາໄດ້ແທ້ໆ).
Real English begins when vocabulary becomes communication. (ພາສາອັງກິດທີ່ແທ້ຈິງ ຈະເລີ່ມຕົ້ນຂຶ້ນ ກໍຕໍ່ເມື່ອຄຳສັບກາຍເປັນການສື່ສານ!)
