I believe that I am much more confident in English now due to the lessons. This will help me in my entire life so I am very grateful for that.
Rik Hermus
One of the most valuable things is that this course inspired me with a new vision in English learning. When I studied English in high school in China, passing the exam was the only purpose for most Chinese students, so most of us mainly focused on the reading part. After this course, I realize that any language is virtually a communicating skill, and the ultimate purpose of learning an language should be to use it freely.
