It's hard! Faces are always moving and changing, and emotions are very fleeting. A lot of learning can happen through TV. If you have a friend or partner, you can watch an emotional show together and pause regularly to talk through what you see on the person's face. For example, pause and do your best to analyze which emotions you see in the face of the person/people on the screen, then ask your friend if you're on-target or if you're missing/misinterpreting. You can also ask your friends to stop periodically and tell you what they're feeling when they have a particular facial expression you're unsure of. It doesn't hurt to be honest that you have trouble with those! xo
