I had been an auditor for the State of California for 23 years - before my retirement 10 years ago - and I still learn English with you on a daily basis for the past 9 months. The variation or the musicality in your voice expressing doubt, affirmation, astonishment or joy, effort, etc...is fabulous. I try to shadow them all and it helps a great deal. Thanks.
