After living and working in the US for many years, my accent had become thicker because of the isolation due to the pandemic. I wanted to practice efficiently before an important presentation and this course has been great. I made progress every single day and learned practical tips I wish I had known earlier!

Aulas didáticas, com ótimas dicas para adquirir uma melhor fluência no Inglês. Ponto negativo é que o curso é curto, poderia ter mais tópicos conteúdo como phrasal verbs e idiomatics expressions por exemplo.

The course covers important topics but the it's hard to learn from it: (1) There is no handout with the key concepts. I had to stop the video and copy (re-type) information from the screen. (2) Singing along is a good idea, but it's hard to understand the words without looking at the lyrics. But looking at the lyrics defeats the purpose. (3) Some phrases used in the course would make good exercises to repeat 6 to 10 times. But the instructor has made only pauses for us to diagnose a specific mode of speech. Rewinding and re-listening is not easy, because you can go to the desired place exactly. For example, you may have noted that good material is at the 4min 33sec mark, but you can't choose this point on the course display.
