Hey, what’s good, VoiceTubers? Wen here, again. Before we jump into today’s topic, there’s a little something:

Alrighty, today, we’re getting real and talking about (what’s that?) breaking bad habits. But wait, hold up. Uh, this has nothing to do with the tv series, Breaking Bad, right? Hang around till the end of the episode to find out! Right now, we’re shifting back to ourselves.

The funny thing about habits is that they seem all too deceptively innocent. I mean, what harm could come from just an extra 15 minutes of tv time? Look, I’ll just do the dishes later, it’s just a few plates. C’mon. Next thing you know, 15 minutes of extra tv time drags onto an hour, and there goes all your motivation to be productive. And notice how the plates have piled up in the sink (how did a 10-minute task just become hours of work?).

Look at us, always, always, underestimating the repercussions of our bad habits and their ability to land us into hot water. Lucky for us, it’s never too late to redeem ourselves! A video, titled “How to Break Bad Habits” shows us how to just do that in 4 simple steps, here’s one of them:

Sentence

phr. 去搞清楚吧！（衍生：真搞不懂。）

2. trigger ˈtrɪɡ.ɚ

Outro
That brings us to the end of today’s pronunciation challenge! Bad habits are usually a huge source of our frustrations, but with enough mindfulness and determination, they’re definitely fixable and if you’re smart about it, you could even transform them into positive habits that give you a seamless routine.

Now, here’s a show I’m going to recommend: Breaking Bad.

I haven’t finished the show but it’s a well-recognized series with a fascinating premise about a chemistry teacher ‘breaking bad’ and going into the drug- dealing world.
Going back to the term ‘breaking bad’ mentioned at the start - the term has no direct relation to breaking bad habits but rather, this term is a Southern American colloquialism meaning ‘to go wild’ or to a more extreme extent ‘to defy authority’. So, there’s a fun fact for you.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s snippet as much as I have! Let me know whether or not you’ve tried the steps and how they’ve worked out. I’ll do another shoutout, same time next week, in response to your comments! Please remember to leave your recordings, too! Catcha next time!
