herring [ˋhɛrɪŋ] 是大西洋的「鯡魚」
它原本並不是紅色的，而是經過醃漬後的顏色
以前的人會用這種魚肉來訓練獵犬
所以現在red herring被用來指轉移或誤導別人注意力的事物
使人沒辦法關注真正的議題

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
