I have now been taking weekly classes with Mrs. Viji for 6 months to improve my speaking skills and my vocabulary. Today we discussed two videos : one on Chat GPT and one on a weather report. As always, the class was very enjoyable because d Viji is not only very clear at explaining the words and their meaning but also is able to engage in an interesting conversation. She is very dedicated to making sure that her students learn but also shows a deep level of caring for her students. I look forward to each lesson with her.
