This episode is a sequel to Episode #38 "A Christmas Lesson". Do you want to know how the Beatles jam went? Actually, after that, I had an online practice session of "Let it be" with the community of weirdos and GoGo-freaks. All the members told me that my guitar playing was fantastic! I thanked them and told them that my guitar teacher is a professional guitarist! "It's all thanks to him", I said. Being his student is a little tough, but I'm incredibly proud to have him as my teacher.

Just recently, I had a guitar lesson with him on December 20th- a year since that Christmas lesson. A friend of our community gave me some advice. She suggested that telling him my "Christmas Lesson" story, could be a good way to repay him for the lovely lesson last year. I agreed that would be nice, but I feel embarrassed that a native speaker would hear me reading aloud in English, and he always teaches me without wasting a single second in the lessons. I felt a little nervous to talk about anything other than guitars, and was worried that he might be annoyed, so I hesitated to tell him the story. At the end of the lesson, my friend's face came into my mind. Then it occurred to me that you never know until you ask, so I decided to go for it! I asked him," Actually..., I wrote a monologue about this guitar lesson and submitted it to a Podcast. Would you mind listening to it now?" When I read the story I could see on the screen that he was attentively listening to my story. Right after that, he left the lesson studio, but returned right away wearing the same Santa hat as last year and he improvised "Jingle Bells" on his metal guitar. "Wow! What a pleasant surprise!" I was filled with joy! He gave me Christmas spirit for the second year in a row!

Meanwhile, to my surprise, he said, "Thank you for sharing that story with me, send me a link to the Podcast!" I'm grateful to have such wonderful English learner friends, English teachers, and a guitar teacher in my life. —————————————————————— 🗣Do you study English? Join our club!
