I really enjoyed the common workplace expressions but i think there should be some active exercises to help us remenber them, because i find it easy to understand the expressions or idioms but i find it hard to use them when speaking. Thanks

Thursday, November 12th 2009

I really like this kinda lessons where you may learn expressions you know language is not only grammar items, but also vocabulary because anybody can learn strutures grammars but remembering thousands of words that’s the interesting part of being learning a language. keep on like this. I’m from venezuela by the way.

Hai valen, You are simply superb. I am a professional but struggling with english. Your lessons are so simple to digest . I like you so much since the sexpressions are very clear to understand. Make it twice and slowly .It is better to those out siders of Western Countries may also understand your lessons.

I mistakenly entered expressions read correctly as i intended. You are a honourable teacher. The teaching profession is a great job. You are educating lot of people.There is no other job is great in the world expect teaching field.
