Conversation Practice and Personalized Instruction-grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and more!
I had a lesson on writing. Danielle has reviewed my writing script and provided me with precise guidelines for various places in the script. I learned several new and important writing expressions and styles. Thanks.
