I'm slowly mastering it.

The author was able to challenge me to master the stress in the correct syllables for me to sound like a native English speaker. I am amazed how interesting it is learning it the right way!

an accessible, go-to grammar piece

An accessible, go-to grammar book that emphasizes the importance of writing to an intended readership. After studying this book for few days, I can’t say I’m already the best, but I did make some improvements and made some realizations of the words I’ve been using wrong.

2 Title: better than Learning from school

This help remains natural at communicating in diverse situations. Would like more advanced vocabulary and some more out of the ordinary situations but perhaps that's for another level of proficiency? This is worth listening to. Great job Whitney!

Interesting

It seems I am too lazy to open up my mouth when I talk. Usually, I just change the shape of my lips instead of really make an effort to widen my mouth. I do think that is common in a Mandarin-speaking environment. Anyways, this audiobook is perfect for those with an Asian accent or just ESL in general. I would recommend this.

Superb!


This is a really great audiobook~ Here's a teensy little technique i actually use to study regularly. I surf around youtube videos often. Instead of watching videos in korean, my mother-tongue, i search for the videos to my taste which is only in english. This goes the same for my reading habits. I find some books about the things i'm interested in also in english to put myself in english even more!

I prefer this audiobook

I got the paperback and audiobook, but I prefer audiobooks more. I can just listen in my car. Overall, the teaching of this book is helpful, some words I don’t understand. I would recommend a more advanced English speaker. 5/5.

No drills, no specific examples. Useless.

This book presents only methods to improve fluency, no drills, samples or nothing.
The methods are already widely known and nothing new. Just garbage. Don't waste your time and money.
