As usual, it’s a pleasure learning English with you, Alex. I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress. And you, are you continuing to learn French? Thank you, Alex.

Very clear and really useful. Besides, your lessons are great to improve the listening skills. Thank you and congratulations!
Dear Alex, I appreciate your grammar lessons especially. I learnt in this class the difference between to be + Past Participle and to get + Past Participle. Both can be used meaning the same, the first one is formal, the second one is casual.
Thank you so much!
