I have spoken English as my one and only language. But I am gaining a wealth of help from your videos. I love how you have clear annunciation and don't rush your words. I need to slow slow slow down!!!! I just started a job at a law firm as an accountant. But this also entails phone answering as needed and I am flailing at it..... okay back to the videos to binge watch before work tomorrow 😅
