I've benefited a lot by pursuing this course. Small pronunciation and word stress has been cleared. I would suggest non-English speakers to take up this course to enhance their English language skill.

Thank you for this course!

Initially it seemed simple, but it had lovely subtle nuances, that where very new for me.

Also, I learned some tips from peer reviewing. Overall, if one has enough discipline to push oneself, this course is helpful. Of course one can be lazy too - but then one won't learn much, and to take this course just to pass it - it's not worth it. You have to put your heart into it and you will learn a lot!

How proud you are that they pulled through and delivered great results. “I wanted to say thankyou to you to schedule such great project and tasks for us.

I have learned a lot from this course.  After speaking English for more than 3 decades, I left out some fundamental ways of speaking it.  I should have taken this course sooner. Thank you Leah Attruia and Amalia Stephens for putting this course together. I highly recommend that anyone who would like to improve their English speaking skills to take this course.

Personally, as a non-native speaker with probably c1-c2 level English, the course doesn't contain too much materials and perhaps 80% of the stuff isn't new to me, but this course really hits some common errors or points many people might have missed. I like it that the course allows me to notice some errors I never noticed before!
