I joined the General ESL program because my goal was to improve my English communication skill and become more confident when speaking. During my first week, I found it very challenging because the teachers spoke naturally and my vocabulary was limited. I could understand only a little, and I felt nervous. However, thanks to the 1:1 classes and the patience of my teachers, I gradually improved my listening and speaking skills. Although my pronunciation and grammar are still not perfect, I am no longer afraid to speak English. I am very grateful to all the teachers and staff at Philinter. This has been a meaningful learning experience and I am happy that I chose Philinter.
