In today's lesson, we will learn three words related to 感覺、直覺、錯覺、幻覺

感覺  feeling / sense

• It can refer to an emotional state or reaction, or to a physical sensation that is not an emotion.
  Most often, the abbreviation "感" refers to the emotional meaning, while the abbreviation "覺" usually refers to the physical meaning.

• 例句：
• 有些人有接近動物的野性直覺，會本能地避開危險。
  Some people have an almost animalistic intuition that instinctively helps them avoid danger.

錯覺 illusion

• 例句：

  Artists often use optical illusions to challenge the human visual system, such as creating a sense of depth or motion on a flat surface.

幻覺 Hallucination
