Hello! My name is Kris and I am an experienced English teacher here on italki. I wanted to share an encouraging thought with the English learning community here on italki. As you embark on this journey of improving your English speaking skills.. BE OPTIMISTIC about learning English! BE CONSISTENT in practicing English! HAVE FAITH in yourself! TRUST your tutors! You might not be a fluent English speaker yet. But as you put in the effort and practice. You will get there. DO NOT GIVE UP! Feel free to reach out if you need help with improving your English speaking skills. Cheers Kris
