Thanks a lot, Dear teacher. You are doing great efforts for free. You deserve more than our words. I wish you make clear difference between similar sounds coming one after the other and how I say them, whether I mis=x, reduce or say separately such as in these words: less than, makes that, face the wall, etc. Love from Wael.

You're amazing keenyn, Actually my story is different, i need to present my ideas to investors in Europe and discuss with them then answering all their questions finally summarize meetings ... it's 3 to 4 hours sometimes ... during this if i speak like newly graduates they may underestimate me, I need to appear natural, super fluent and even creative since if I repeat same words after 2 hours they may feel boredom ... seems having IELTS 7.0 is not enough as i experienced so far ... finding your channel, really appreciate your videos, I hope I can turn into more native-like speaker who can discuss smoothly 🌹🌹
