Alles wurde sehr gut und verständlich erklärt. Und nach jedem Teil gab es ein Quiz, um das Gelernte anzuwenden. Was auch sehr gut war, dass man sämtliche Unterlagen dazu auch runterladen konnte.

This is a real nice and useful course, I feel more confident communicating in my day-to-day work after I have finished it. Highlight: idioms are really great, they make my emails professional

By Ha Nguyen on 4/11/2023

This course is really valuable, besides the test after each lesson and the big test after ten lessons, the teachers will check your writing and speaking as well if you send them your assignments. Highly recommend!

The content is taught in a very simple and effective way. I found it extremely useful, there were many words I didn't know yet, even though my English is currently upper intermediate. Thank you very much Teacher Shayna, you are fantastic! I highly recommend it to everyone!
