"You're doing it wrong, you have to ehhh... you know, like this and like that..." Leslie moved the wooden sword in her hands in a way that seemed a bit... like a toy, or like a child swinging a stick while playing swords—or at least, that's how it looked to me.
"..."
With my eyes rolling. Even though Leslie is good with the sword, her style is a bit extravagant. She struggles when trying to explain things with words or teach the theoretical side of swordsmanship. Although it might seem useless, theory is just as important as practice. But in this case... seeing Leslie's confused expression, it was clear that she herself knew her explanation was complete nonsense.
"I think it's better if you watch and repeat after me?" she suggested, trying to find some kind of solution.
That could work too—after all, learning by watching is effective as well. It's a slightly easier method, I think.
"Alright," I agreed.
