Great conversation class with Andy! I've been active during this class and I've talked on many different topics with him for today! He gave me useful vocabulary and he corrected my mistakes in pronunciation and grammar that he noticed while I spoke. He also gave me a chance to ask him any questions that I had which is also good! He said that I was active and I was engaged in a conversation the whole time! It's nice to hear this amazing feedback from him! It was nice to meet him and have a tremendous conversation in English and I hope to have a lesson with him again soon!
