Customer Reviews
Excellent
Recommended for those who want to improve their English skills and sharpen their speaking. This podcast will walk you through all the things you should have learned before grammar. I wish I had access to similar resources when I first started learning English, would have saved me time (and trouble). This excellent podcast explains pronunciation into detail, details you won't find in the English books out there. I have noticed improvements in my speaking after the first 10 lessons. I have a long way to go but feel confident I will be able to correct many of my mistakes (or at least identify areas for improvement) by practicing the elements discussed in the lessons. Thanks to Mandy and her team for making this available to the world.
