Before I joining the Real English Fluency Program, I was totally lost in the English world and didn’t know where to start. There are many English learning resources online, but most of them are useless.The program helped me to find my weakness of my speaking and writing, and then I focused on them. Now I make a huge progress with my English, and I feel more confident about my life in Australia.
