Teacher, what if they don't say words like "yay" or "oh no"? How do I know their feeling?

Hi Makara! That's exactly why we listen to the *music* of their voice. Focus on the PITCH (high or low) and the SPEED (fast or slow). Even if they just say "Okay", a high fast "Okay!" means happy, and a slow low "Okay..." means sad or tired. music_note

This is very common, Sita! A quick trick: Try to *smile* slightly when you speak English. It naturally raises the pitch of your voice and makes you sound much friendlier, even if your grammar isn't perfect! sentiment_satisfied
