At last something easy to read and listen to at the same time, with the added advantage to download for further study in your own time. Cannot thank you enough.

Hai,
Thanks a lot for the mini lessons that you give students for free. I am busy with preparations for some exams in mid-june this year. Soon as I finish I shall be signing up with you straightaway. I have always wanted to learn French. Tried to learn from some independent tutor 3 years ago but because he mostly taught pronunciation and no grammar I gained nothing. I appreciate a lot that you teach grammar which are the building blocks of any language. Thanks and you hear from me soon.
Thanks
