Klantrecensies
Great
Please keep up the good work! I love your show. It’s informative and enjoyable. Pleasant voices, concise. Thank you!
Five Stars.
I’ve learnt so much from you guys! I love using the expressions because they make me feel so confident at speaking English. Aside from that, I’ve learnt a lot about the British culture.
It’s easy to listen to the presenters due to their perfect intonation and enthousiasm in their voices. Monotonous voices are difficult to keep paying attention to, after all. I don’t face that problem when listening to BBC The English We Speak at all!
and it teaches me to pronounce words a British way rather than an American way.
