In "From Ghetto Lady to Critical Linguist ", author mentioned the struggled for them to pronounce four, more, and sour. That story reminds me my childhood English learning experience. It was hard for me to say some specific word such as, responsibility,cooperation, and restaurant. No matter how my teacher taught me to say them, i still said them really weird. Thus, I recorded the pronunciation than practiced rapidly. Even though the practice was boring, it did help me to adjust the pronunciation and i really cherished this experience.
"From Ghetto Lady to Critical Linguist" also inspired me that I should study more and deep for my culture literature because it is our duty to keep them as long as possible.
