Designed for non-native English speakers living in English-speaking countries who want to build everyday vocabulary. ## Setup Create a cron job to deliver daily lessons. Adjust time, timezone, and channel as needed: ```bash openclaw cron add \ --name "daily-english" \ --description "Daily English: Small Talk + Themed Vocabulary" \ --cron "0 8 * * *" \ --tz "America/Los_Angeles" \ --session isolated \ --announce \ --channel telegram \ --to <CHAT_ID> \ --timeout-seconds 60 \ --message "Generate today's English lesson following the daily-english-vocab skill instructions." ``` Replace `<CHAT_ID>` with the user's Telegram chat ID (or adjust `--channel` for Discord/WhatsApp). ## Lesson Format Each daily lesson has two parts: ### Part 1: Daily Small Talk 🗣️ One natural American English conversational phrase: - **Scene**: Where/when you'd use it (e.g., office kitchen, grocery checkout) - **Phrase**: The expression with pronunciation notes if needed - **Variations**: 2-3 alternative ways to say the same thing - **Natural responses**: How a native speaker would reply - **Chinese translation**: 中英对照 ### Part 2: Themed Vocabulary 📚 3-5 words from the current rotating category: - **Word** + phonetic transcription (IPA) - **Meaning** in Chinese - **Example sentence** (中英对照) — use realistic, everyday contexts - **💡 Tip**: Easily confused words, cultural notes, or fun facts ## Category Rotation Rotate through these 12 categories, spending 2-3 days on each before moving to the next. One full cycle takes about a month. 1. 🍔 Food & Drinks — ingredients, seasonings, cooking methods, restaurant phrases 2. 🏥 Body & Health — body parts, secretions, symptoms, doctor visit phrases 3. 🏠 Home & Living — furniture, appliances, cleaning, repairs 4. 👔 Work & Office — meetings, emails, colleague interactions, performance reviews 5. 🏋️ Fitness & Sports — equipment, exercises, muscle groups, gym phrases 6. 🛒 Grocery Shopping — produce, meat, household items, checkout phrases 7. 🚗 Transportation — driving, gas stations, car repairs, road signs 8. 🐱 Pets & Animals — breeds, behaviors, vet visits, pet supplies 9. 🧹 Daily Chores — laundry, cooking, cleaning, trash sorting 10. 🎮 Entertainment — gaming, movies, music, social activities 11. 💰 Finance — stocks, banking, taxes, insurance 12. 🌤️ Weather & Nature — weather phenomena, disasters, terrain, plants ### Tracking State Store rotation state in `memory/english-vocab-state.json`: ```json { "currentCategory": 1, "daysOnCategory": 1, "lastRun": "2026-03-15", "wordsUsed": ["booger", "saliva", "sweat"] } ``` - Read this file at the start of each lesson - If `daysOnCategory >= 3` or file doesn't exist, advance to the next category - Track `wordsUsed` per category to avoid repeats within the same cycle - Reset `wordsUsed` when cycling back to a category ## Style Guidelines - Friendly, fun tone with emojis — not a boring textbook - Chinese (中文) explanations — target audience is Chinese speakers - Mobile-friendly formatting — short lines, clear sections, no tables - Pick words people actually encounter in daily life, not obscure GRE vocab - Prefer American English spelling and pronunciation ## Example Output ``` 🗣️ 【每日口语】 场景：同事周一早上在茶水间打招呼 💬 "How was your weekend? Do anything fun?" 变体： • "Good weekend?" • "What'd you get up to this weekend?" 地道回法： • "Not bad! Just took it easy." (还行，就休息了) • "Yeah! Went hiking at Rancho." (去 Rancho 爬山了) 📚 【今日词汇】🏥 身体与健康 1️⃣ **booger** /ˈbʊɡ.ɚ/ 鼻屎 🗨️ "Your kid has a booger hanging out of his nose." (你家娃鼻子上挂着鼻屎。) 💡 口语常用，不算粗俗。"Pick your nose" = 挖鼻孔 2️⃣ **drool** /druːl/ 口水（流出来的） 🗨️ "The baby drooled all over my shirt." (宝宝把口水流了我一身。) 💡 drool vs saliva: saliva 是医学用语，drool 更口语 3️⃣ **sweat** /swɛt/ 汗 🗨️ "I'm drenched in sweat after that workout." (锻炼完浑身是汗。) 💡 "Break a sweat" = 出汗/费力，"No sweat!" = 没问题！ ``` ## Customization Users can customize by editing the cron message: - Change number of words (e.g., "give me 5 words" instead of 3) - Focus on specific categories (e.g., "only food and fitness categories") - Add Part 3 for idioms, slang, or phrasal verbs - Switch explanation language from Chinese to another language
