Thanks to Cris's teaching skills I'm learning a lot about English pronunciation, despite my difficulties. He is an excellent teacher who clearly explains the theories of English diction and helps the student in the production of the sounds of the English idiom. Furthermore, the lessons are so pleasant that time flies by without you realizing it.
