La scelta dell'insegnante
I started conversation lessons with Rod to maintain and improve my English.
I requested him to engage in conversations with me, correct my mistakes when he notices them, and help me choose topics.
He has a quality that makes me feel very comfortable talking to him, so I spend most of the lesson speaking rather than listening.
Of course, he always responds by sharing his opinions, telling his experiences, or correcting my English, so I can practice both speaking and listening skills.
I'm very satisfied with the lessons. They are helping me so that the words come more easily when I need to speak.
