Course testimonials

Tamara said: It's good experience for me but I had a hard time understanding because this class was not my level. My teacher is very nice and your class is good, but too hard for me.
Brunna said: I really appreciate how the teacher tried to help everyone in the class. Of course in 8 weeks it’s impossible to achieve a high level of English if you don’t come through. I think the topics, which were presented by Ana, have a high value for whom want use day by day. I liked the course. Unfortunately the day doesn’t fit well for me, maybe in another opportunity.
Tasnova said: Learning new words, grammar and vocabulary
Joohyeong said: The teacher taught really passionately.
Thi Ha said: The teacher is friendly, and the topics are interesting.
