    As an "exceptionally adequate musician", near DesMoines, IA I regret that I was not one of the six. But I think I know what he's talking about. It's about being genuine and true to your audience and music. That's all you need to do for it to be enough.

    While that ma have been a near-perfect concert, as Jeffrey describes it, I was fortunate to be present at THE perfect concert, back in the winter of 2002. He played a living room concert in Conroe, TX at the home of my dear (and recently dearly departed) friends, Jamie Coumbe. There were probably 15-20 of us who had gathered, most of us hearing Foucault's music for the very first time in that intimate living room. Just him and his guitar. It was perfect.

    The only Chinese she used in this speech(4:58) is wrong. It should be "一点点“, not ”一点一点“. I would not be so proud if I were her.

  • @howyuanlok15
    @howyuanlok15 3 місяці тому

    The ABC I know has good American slang. But have nothing to utter about. You learn a language because you have something to say in that language. Otherwise you can't learn successfully.

    😢This is very sad t by looking at all the response about she’s a good speaker and speak good English..etc she’s Asian and everyone forgot about what she actually said that she was born and raised in united state so English is her only language that’s why she had to go to college to learn to speak Chinese. So if you have Asian face , no one will ever treat you as American it is why you must keep your native language. It is pathetic that you cannot see the truth is nobody treats you is American but you can’t even know that that’s why you flunk your class because you didn’t think it was necessary to learn if you really think it was necessary to learn your native language you wouldn’t flunk that class because it was necessary. The whole time you think you were American look at the response everybody said to you that you speak good English no one cares what you actually said they look at your face they tell you you are good speaker you speak good English. They didn’t even listen to what you said in this video. The saddest part is everyone thought it was funny that you flunk your class and you thought I was a joke but can’t you see that they really didn’t care what you said they feel you’re a good speaker you speak good English. That means you’re not American in their eyes. After all you are not American in their eyes you can’t even speak your native language who are you
