Hey, guys. This is Nina, and you're listening to the pronunciation challenge. How are you doing? Today's topic is about shame.

Well, It's your shame that's talking to you. If you also have that voice in your head, don't worry! Today's video will help you recognize if there is shame inside you and walk you through how to get rid of the shameful feeling. So, don't forget to check out today's video!

But first, Let’s get to the sentence of the day.

to say or write something that seems to be true in most situations or for most people, but may not be completely true in all cases.
概括，歸納

2. undermine v. [͵ʌndɚˋmaɪn] /ˌʌn.dɚˈmaɪn/
to make someone less confident, less powerful, or less likely to succeed, or to make something weaker, often gradually
（常指逐漸地）削弱信心、權威等，損害

Okay. That’s all for today’s episode. For the questionnaire in the video, how much did you rate yourself with those questions? Did you have anything over an eight? Well, if you did, it's alright. Lots of people have this kind of feeling. We just have to know how to deal with it. I really like what the speaker said in the last part of the video. Unlike the usual answers that we'll get when facing this kind of problem, like "You just have to trust yourself!" or "You just have to tell yourself that you're beautiful." The speaker encouraged us to accept that we humans as a group are all quirky and broken in our own way. Everyone is imperfect, and being perfect is never a "normal" thing. We may not do everything right, but so does everyone else! And the moment we start to accept this, that'll be our way out of shame. Furthermore, suppose you still feel a little insecure about yourself, in that case, I recommend a movie called "Tall Girl 2". It's about how to face your shame and fight the negative voice inside your head. Anyways, don't forget to leave a comment down below with your recordings, and hope you enjoyed today's content. Stay weird. Stay unique. I'm Nina. See you next time.
