Knowing she could never be happy in Iran, Tamila Soroush took her mother's advice to "Go and wake up your luck" and joined her sister in the United States. Now, after a spur-of-the-moment exchange of "I do"s with her true love, Ike Hanson, Tami is eager to start her new life.

But not everyone is pleased with their marriage, and Tami's happily- ever-after is no sure thing. With an interview with Immigration looming, Tami wonders if she's got the right stuff when it comes to love, American-style. Maybe her luck is running out. Or maybe she'll stand up for herself and claim her American dream.

Repeat some English phrases

Welcome back! In this post we will talk a little bit about a specific action that English students should do in order to learn more vocabulary and to improve their pronunciation with English.

Maybe you've been already doing it, but I should talk about it!
Have you noticed that some days, you repeat some phrases alone?
If you did, I think these phrases are now deeper into your brain!

Yes, in this article I advice each English student to repeat some phrases without thinking, just to make them go deeper and you learn much much vocabulary doing so.

For example: when learning English, or listening to a conversation you hear a good phrase that you like the pronunciation, then you repeat listening again and again (because you enjoyed it) and then you start to repeat it alone subconsciously (withing thinking and without feeling) you repeat it loudly, you copy the pronunciation, maybe you repeat it for a week or more!

Then next week you hear another phrase, then you start doing the same time with the previous phrase, and then you will see that these phrases are easy for you, you understand them faster, and you speak them with thinking (especially in a real English conversation)!

OK, that's it, now tell us if you have already do this techniques with phrases that you listened and enjoyed! it's for you now!!
