more people can benefit from that as well. My name  is Ella and my native language is Mandarin. I grew  

更多的人也能從中受益。我叫艾拉，母語是國語。我從小

up in China, and I've been living in Canada  for more than three years. I know many people  

在中國長大，我在加拿大生活了三年多。我認識很多人

think that if they have been living in a country  for a few years, they are going to be naturally  

以為在一個國家生活了幾年，就會自然而然。

good in pronunciation, but that's not the case.  Right, so I'm trying to make some efforts.

發音好，但事實並非如此。 對，所以我在努力。

So I came across um Rachel's YouTube channel a  few months ago, and since then, I found it's a big  

我幾個月前發現了瑞秋的YouTube頻道 從那時起，我發現它是一個很大的。

treasure. So I enrolled myself into the Academy  in order to learn this in a more systematic way.

寶。於是，我自費報名參加了學院的學習，以便更系統地學習這些知識。

節奏等。這也改變了我的心態，因為作為一個喜歡接近

new knowledge with logic and analysis, I didn't  realize that imitation is actually the key  

新知識的邏輯和分析，沒想到其實模仿才是關鍵。

to learn pronunciation. Imitation is just  so much more important than I thought.  

來學習發音。模仿比我想象的要重要得多。

And also like Rachel said when you try to  imitate someone, don't just use the technique to  

也像Rachel說的那樣，當你想模仿一個人的時候，不要只用技術來

talk like him. Try to be him, be him. So yeah  that's really, that's really inspiring for me. And

Rachel also has a regular video  course with random students where she  

瑞秋也有一個定期的視頻課程，隨機的學生，她在那裡

corrects their pronunciations over the video.  That's also very helpful because um the students  

通過視頻糾正他們的發音。 這也是非常有幫助的，因為嗯學生

are from all over the world, including China, so  I can easily relate myself to the Chinese students  

來自世界各地，包括中國，所以我很容易與中國學生聯繫在一起。

and see the same mistakes that I have in my in my  own speech as well, in my own speaking as well.  

並看到我在自己的演講中也有同樣的錯誤，在自己的演講中也有同樣的錯誤。

I can talk more about the Academy, but it's  going to be a long video. So if you are someone
