thank you !
just wanna thank you
I am leaning so much!
Mandy is the best at explaining English pronunciation. I am leaning so much! I have been studying English for more than a decade and this is the best stuff I've ever seen.
Really useful
This is a really useful podcast.
The explanations are concise and helpful. Also, the topics taught here range from basic pronunciation issues (how to articulate certain sounds and what are their common spellings) to those tricky irregularities that native speakers do when are talking more naturally (such as the informal contractions, or the t sound pronunciation).
I have studied English for more than 10 years and never had this kind of explanation in class, what makes me feel like this is a unique opportunity to improve my English, both listening and pronunciation.
