- Hello, everyone and welcome back to English With Lucy.
大家好，歡迎回到「跟著Lucy學英語」。
Today I'm going to talk to you about how to describe personality and character in English, and I'm going to help you with your pronunciation.
今天的課呢，Lucy要跟大家討論怎樣用英語去描述人的性格特點。還有呢，Lucy今天還要幫助你們解決發音的問題。
Before we get started I'd just like to mention, the sponsor of today's video, it is Italki.
那在我們開始之前呢，我想先介紹下，今天課程的贊助商-Italki。
If you haven't heard of Italki before, it's a huge online database of both native and non native speakers who give one to one lessons, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

So many people message me and ask me how they can meet and contact and practise with native speakers.
很多人私信我，問我他們怎麼才能見到母語人士，怎麼才能和他們溝通、練習英語。
Italki is a really good option because aside from the native qualified teachers, they also have community teachers who practise conversation with you.
