Some of you were confused when I said that I was taking Ancient Greek at school. A few people mixed up Ancient Greek and Modern Greek. Well, there is actually a difference between the two! Ancient Greek, the one that I’m studying at school, is an earlier form of the Greek spoken today, spoken at around the 5th century BC. You could compare it with the variant of English spoken at the time of Shakespeare - although much earlier! Even though it’s a linguistic subject, we cover elements of Ancient Greek history as well.
Modern Greek, however, is different from its ancient relative - there are differences in grammar and pronunciation, amongst a few other things. It’s the form of Greek that’s spoken in today’s world. But although Ancient Greek is no longer spoken anywhere in the world, it can be a very useful language to learn. Quite a few English words are derived from Ancient Greek (if you’re going into biology or medicine, it’ll be quite useful). For me, a linguist, the constructions and grammar of the language are good challenges for the brain, one of the reasons why I chose Ancient Greek over other modern languages. And of course, learning another language can be great fun!
So before you go to assume that learning a 'dead language' is useless, remember: there are quite a few hidden benefits to it!

#IELTSSPEAKING PART 2 - DESCRIBE A FAMILY MEMEBER
Well, it’s really hard for me to choose one family member that I admire because, you know, I love and admire them all equally. But if I had to choose one, it would have to be my dad.
You know, my dad is a very hard-working person. He gets up pretty early, at about 5 and 5:30 every morning. He often has quick breakfast and then goes to the farm. He normally works 10 or 12 hours a day on the farm. You know, farming for a living is hard work, especially during summer time, when the temperature can go up to nearly 40 degrees which is extremely hot. Working outdoors in this condition is a nightmare. Although my dad has to work super hard to support the family, I’ve never heard him complain about hard work or things like that. That’s the first reason why I really admire him.
And the second thing that I want to talk about is that my dad is a very dedicated husband and father. He always puts his family first. I feel like he’s willing to do everything to make his wife and children smile. Although he has to work super hard during the day, he always makes time for me and my brothers and sisters.
I’ve learned a great deal from my dad. You know, being a farmer’s daughter, I understand the value of hard work. My dad is always a good role model for me. Actually, there are so many things that I could talk about, but I know that I don’t have enough time for it. So if I had to choose one family member that I admire the most, I would talk about my dad.

The decision has been made ten days ago. Together with Datuk Seri Norza, we met at YB Sy Saddiq’s house and collectively agreed for my request to hang my racquet. They were solemn yet I managed to keep my emotions intact. It was heavy, very heavy. They were understanding, and I was grateful for that. They didn’t force me to play on. I simply couldn’t play anymore.
Wife made us brunch. My kids and I monkeyed through the meal. We had fun. Then my personal friend cum assistant came. He passed me the script I would have to follow in the press conference. I tried to memorize. It was piece of cake. Even Kingston said ,” Wah papa, your BM and England better than me”. We laughed.
After a long warm bath, I looked at the guy in the mirror, “Want to try one more time?” Then my sight gazed down to my neck and body. My body was so frail and thin. My muscles were jelly soft. The scar on my neck was so deep and dark after all the treatment.
Opening the wardrobe, I took out the Yonex Tiger Stripes Malaysia Jacket, chosen as my press conference attire. Standing beside me Mew Choo pointed out ,” Do you still remember when we started playing professionally, the national shirt we had was the plain white shirt with Proton Tiger logo as its main print? Never knew 19 years later, you would end it with a tiger on your shirt as well”. She looked into my eyes. I couldn’t utter any word. She hugged me, whispered, “You have given your all”.
Together we hopped on my friend’s car to Menara KBS. In the car, I was told worldwide media friends would attend the press conference. I took out the script, hoping to memorize one last time. My another hand? Clutching hard Mew Choo’s hand…
Suddenly my phone kept vibrating. My teammates. My relatives. My close friends. Words spread. They knew. I declined all their calls, trying to remain steady. I read their messages and heard their voice messages. Some cried. Some offered support. Many said thank you with pictures of me holding cups and the national flag.
Met my ex coaches Datuk Misbun, Datuk Seu Bock, Hendrawan at the center. They patted me and the pack. The conversations were short. Been with me too long. They knew I was focusing, trying to keep my emotions intact. I simply didn’t want to cry in public. Not in front of millions of live Malaysian and international audience.
Sat in between Datuk Seri Norza and Yb Sy Saddiq. I started off my speech. It was unimpressive. Facing the crowd, I didn’t remember the script at all, only relying on the key points to carry me through. Grammar out. Bahasa out. But I thought still okay. As long I didn’t crumble. Inside, I was trembling, shattering...
Then, started to thank my coaches, my team. All a sudden, flashbacks of how I trained in Penang came first. Flashbacks of my early morning trainings, jokes and banters with teammates, the walks into the court, the shouts of ‘Lee Chong Wei” from fans, the emotions of standing on the podium looking at the Malaysian flag”. I couldn’t hold back. I teared.
It has been a year. A year since I announced an end to my 25 years active badminton career span. It would never be the same for me again, but I think I still made the right decision. After all, I have given my all, my best, although sometimes the best may not be good enough…
一年前的今天,我宣布退役,结束我在马来西亚国家队19年的羽毛球生涯!过去一年我有更多的时间陪伴家人,也履行了承诺带老婆去旅行,幸运的是当时候还没有爆发新冠疫情,一切安排得刚刚好。
别问我会不会想念球场。
19年的国家队,6年槟州队一员,25年羽毛球职业生涯,占了我大半辈子人生,球迷们在场上一次一次大喊我的名字,那个场景那个声音,午夜梦回还总会在耳边回荡。
真心感谢球迷们对我的支持和爱护,就算我退役了,这份热情也少不了,还有谢谢教练团队,羽总主席,羽总的全体上下,所有帮助过我的爱我的朋友们......
阳光总在风雨后,这个行管令让我们有更多时间沉淀自己,好好想想未来人生;生活继续,加油努力,我们后会有期。❤️
今晚8点,Astro Arena有我的访问😊

If you're introverted, the idea of speaking to strangers might not be that exciting. I know the feeling. In the language community it seems it's always encouraged to talk to natives. This can be really beneficial, but can introverts manage to practice and use languages without needing to talk to strangers?
My friend Valeria asked me this question after our last video together, and although it's a short clip, I thought it would be valuable to share. ✨ Let's discuss!

although but grammar 在 Lindie Botes Youtube 的精選貼文
Hello friends! I've been asked this question a few times, so here's a video about it! In my case, I didn’t major in languages at university nor did I have time to do a language as an elective, although I would have loved to do French as a course at uni! I think studying languages or something like translation or interpretation is great if you’re planning a future with languages, but there are also ways to incorporate languages into your life and job going forward without having to study it at uni. I hope this video is useful and insightful for y'all!
Love you guys!
