Quando andavo al liceo, non sono mai riuscita a imparare e studiare l'inglese ho sempre avuto un blocco nell'impararlo.
Ad oggi con Queen sto imparando tutta la grammatica base, che fino ad oggi non ero mai riuscita a capirla quando andavo a scuola. Riesce a spiegare gli argomenti in maniera semplice e divertente, riesce a rendere tutto molto più interessante e ti invoglia a studiarlo sempre di più.
Sono contenta di studiare l'inglese con lei, sono felice di star imparando tutto quello che fino ad oggi non mi era chiaro.

Oggi bella lezione di Business English. Come già detto in precedenza Queen è perfetta per ogni livello. Infatti, come già detto in una mia precedente recensione, ho programmato ad un ragazzo di 16 anni, rimandato a scuola in Inglese, una serie di lezioni con Queen da luglio fino al giorno prima dell'esame. Il risultato è stato ottimo: 8 sia nello scritto che nell'orale e promosso al quarto anno. Provare per credere!!!

Mi è piaciuta molto questa lezione, ho avuto modo di scoprire tramite un esercizio di grammatica l'inglese che viene parlato a Edinburgo, è stata una lezione molto divertente per imparare della grammatica!!!
