I share your passion for spreading the ‘words’ on getting English right!
Hi… How are you teacher? I really appreciated your teaching way. You have best teaching. In this English Lesson can make me understand well and improve my english better as well as speaking, Listening, writing. Right now I am following English Course at the College Entry 3 Course. So sometimes I go to your Website to learn more. I am continuing learning British English however I prefer North American English because of their Accent. I talked to British People I used North American English not British English.
Thank you.
Bye…..
