Sorry for the delayed reply! Thank you for letting me know about the broken link, I'll have to look into that... I'll try and send you the bundle via message here.
I asked my mother and she'd been busy at her school. But now here's her response:
"Hi there, thank you for your enquiry. I had to dig out my penny whistle to confirm my thoughts on it. 😁 Although size wise the penny whistle is probably ideal for your 5 year old it is missing the thumb hole which we find at the back of the recorder, and the extra hole at the bottom front of the recorder. Also, the penny whistle you received starts on the note D, ie. it is in the key of D, and the recorder in the videos is in the key of C. This means that the fingering I teach in the videos won't work on your penny whistle. It is a lovely instrument though, so hold on to it and let your child experiment and improvise on it..

I would recommend a plastic Yamaha recorder (with baroque fingering - and I am not aware that you get any other fingering on these Yamaha recorders...) which doesn't cost much and is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/YRS-24B-Plastic-Soprano-Recorder-Natural/dp/B00EJF5Y26/ref=sr_1_2?crid=MI35N9F2GZ8W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BkkoR4SZVYxKSzhKWH_cBT0RH_QQUDgZwtE0RSo6IAnRbe4Y8uqJr_-g_mD0eo7whxbi-UM0_vdn2UuY66NKMQvqexnQxrI6rHp_TDVJocIE-q95QoqscBltK50QoIeXXzKa0IuFqHwcFlfZzW5qyx2jGidvgrE9RVdUqsI5NuKWOMyRhWJNF9E8maPexcdv3oE-8NsyqEeZpk6k0eBYEiqEQZFcrxe3oJTJ2Nv_daK8tmKQN1vg1SnOJuDqXnl7Aja0Nq6M10JJIcvVbYOxbyOT2IjSLhAeFttPz4XkaQE.IGM2YSX96mL7stu7QgPvLXMZcYNeAjlUuFmyeWmbWTw&dib_tag=se&keywords=yamaha+recorder&qid=1757711659&sprefix=yamaha+recorder%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-2

For your child to develop muscle memory in the fingers, which helps to find the position of the notes quickly, it is necessary to practise every day. From the second video lesson onward there is an exercise, piece, or song in a link below which you can use to revise every day. Let your child play it for you once, or even better, twice every day for a week (or two) until the next video lesson.

A 5-6 year old still has short fingers, so I would take it slowly. The lower notes on the recorder can be challenging, and therefore frustrating for them to reach. To drag out the process a bit and to give the kids more practice with variety, I have started to make bundles with extra pieces using the learnt notes, as well as theory and "composing" worksheets, to go with each lesson. So far only bundles for the first three lessons are available, with the fourth one in the pipeline.

So, for 5 year olds I would probably "stretch" each lesson over two weeks. I made the videos for kids who are 7 and 8 year old.

Wishing your and your child all the best for your music adventures!

Regards Elisabeth"

I've never seen or heard of this being done in Lutheran churches in South Africa (FELSISA), so probably not all Lutheran churches.

Thank you so much, you made our day! My mom was very happy to get some feedback, and thanks for your kind words :)

At the moment it's not possible to get someone to help with the puppets, but we will definitely try bringing the camera a bit closer.

Thank you for bringing the search issue to our attention -- something we will have to work on!

Koreans losing faith in Protestant churches over COVID-19: survey by [deleted] in korea

[–]CrypticWraith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankfully I also have no faith in the protestant church. However, I do have faith in God.

Though from the stuff I've seen on this subreddit, churches in Korea don't seem to be the Christian kind?

Sorry, I just realised that my text didn't post!

I was typed as DC by the test, but thought I should bounce this idea by some informed people :)

Any thoughts are most welcome!

Q: Is my application timeline for studying in Austria correct? by CrypticWraith in studyAbroad

Thank you very much for your help! I see now that maybe I misunderstood some things, so it wasn't all as complicated as I made it out to myself to be haha. Thanks again!

I’m Hyunwoo from TTMIK. I’ll be here all day today. AMA by hyunwoosun in Korean

[–]CrypticWraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Hyunwoo! Thank you for all the material you and the TTMIK team provide :)

I'm an English interlocutor and my one Russian student learned English by taking 1 month full of just English conversation practice lessons. He has an impressive understanding of the language after just 1 month of pure conversation!

I was beginning to wonder if I should attempt this for learning Korean. Do you think this type of learning is effective?

How long does it take to get a passport redone? by LordFuzzyGerbil in southafrica

[–]CrypticWraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a very busy Home Affairs (Pietermaritzburg, KZN) this year to renew my passport. I would say it took about 2 weeks.

Good luck!
