“Every day I use English which I learned in this class. It has helped me speaking with friends and in discover[ing] new information on internet.”
- Student
“[All the students] made incredible progress in all areas of their English–vocabulary, grammar, speaking and listening. But most of all, many of them stepped out of their shells, to become more confident and more willing to speak with others.”
