👉How does it feel to be in a club with 2.4 billion other people? 🤔
👉You can already communicate pretty effectively with any of these people. (well, the non-natives especially!)
👉It’s possible, of course, for you to improve your English and understand people better, to feel more confident or to express yourself more clearly, eloquently and accurately.
👉But wait a moment…. isn’t that true for every human being in every language, including native speakers?
👉I was born into English but there are 10’s of thousands of words and expressions I don’t know.
👉Write to me and tell me about how it feels to be on a common journey with 2 billion people- all of whom you can communicate with effectively. Isn’t that pretty amazing?!😻🤯😁
👉That’s all thanks to your hard work and dedication guys. 🥳💪👏🕺💃
