Language level

A1 Elementary

I find it a very welcoming and interesting page, I like it, especially in the academic field.

I ser this page as a great help to Learn

Not because I can't pronounce the language well and I'm unfamiliar with certain words.

I want to talk to you to improve our English since pronunciation is difficult for me

I found it a very interesting and dynamic activity.

A matter of understanding each line and performing in a complex way

I found the exercises to be very dynamic and enjoyable. I didn't find them too difficult. However, I believe I need to improve a little bit and not become overly confident.

Hi, the voice messages were a bit complicated for me, but I am improving with practice and effort.

The most interesting thing for me, is to understand the language with these exercises.

I found this activity very interesting and very useful for learning to listen in English.
