Hi I am from France and I live in Meudon, a suburb of Paris. I began to learn english in december 2006 and I am not a young student. I was born the same year of the 5th Constitution of France, a long time ago.....
I received your email this morning. And I am happy because I understood your email. Your first email english lesson is clear, very interesting and Sue Darville speaks very well for non-native english language.
I think it is easier to read than to write in english and it's a good idea to try to write in english because of your forum. Many thanks for your big job and your attendance at our difficulties.
Sincerely yours
Claudine |

Dear Claudine,
Many thanks for joining our forum and welcome to english-test.net! You learned lot within less than two years and I'm sure your English will soon be excellent. Yes, you are right, it's usually easier to understand a written text than an audio recording. That's why I'm glad you can understand Sue and I look forward to your next forum messages. Please tell us a little more about life in Meudon when you get time.
Merci, Torsten _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Hello
I finished to hear the lessons of Sue Darville.
It was very interesting.
But I am always surprised by that : your courses for beginners are written or spoken in English. You explain very well how to learn. But if you don't speak english how do you do ?
It's not my case. And I can revised, I need it. My english is very poor.
Sue Darville is right when she says : listen in english every day.
I read and I listen every day. If you want to speak or to undestand is the only and the best way. A key for a beginner : Choose an actor or an actress and watch his or her films; Save subtitles : you see and you hear in the same time. And you watch again, again and again. And a day, in another film you recognize a word then another word. It's marvellous. And you continue beause you love to learn english.
Dear Torsten, can you correct my message, please? I need to learn and you are a good teacher thanks very much |

Hello, everyone! I'm Marianne from the Philippines.
I just finished my English lesson number 3 and here are my answers to the questions: Sue works for a large financial company. Sue usually starts her work at 8:45 in the morning. Sue enjoys the personal contact with her clients because they come from all walks of life and all ages.
I love answering the multiple choice test provided in the lesson. It helps me practice and correct my English everyday.
I am always looking forward for new emails to come.
Thank you. |

Dear Claudine,
Thanks a lot for responding to my email English lesson. It's great to hear you finished listening to Sue Darville's audio session. Yes you are right -- if you listen to English audio recordings and TV programs on a daily basis you will pick up new phrases automatically. And what's best about this approach is that the phrases you learn already contain a lot of grammar structures and grammar rules so you don't need to cram them into your head. It's always better to learn phrases rather than single words or rules.
Your grammar will improve as you listen to correct English phrases and repeat them. For example, you can listen to Sue's recordings and stop the player after each sentence. Then you repeat every sentence trying to sound exactly like Sue. You might even want to record your own voice and send it back to us.
Let me know what you think. Best regards, Torsten _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

I,m very grateful for receiving your English course. I am an advanced learner and thus, many things are already known by me. Anyway, everything is worthy, even those topics that I can manage properly. Besides, I love self asessment (is that the right word? or it is "evaluation"? or self test?). Thank you very much
PS: It is morning in my country now (8.50 am).

Hi, my name is Marijana. I come from small town called Kakanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I work in a primary school as an English teacher. I love my students, they're willing to hear and learn everything about the English language and culture. I found these lessons and tests very interesting but rather easy for me. I'm not here to learn English, but it would be nice to improve it with these tests, and lessons for my students. Thank you, best regards Marijana |

Dear Torsten, Dear Claudine,
Many thanks for useful advise,I've been learning English for about 10 years, since my childhood.To my mind, it's too long time for learning foreign language and I must know English well,I must speak fluently,but as a result,I'm an advanced learner,my pronounce is bad,I know a lot of words,but don't know how to use them.  So,thank You again,your lessons are very useful for me.Now,cosidering your advice,I'm going to begin watching and listening movies and musiks. I hope,it would help me to improve my knowledge.
Thank you again.
Sorry for my mistakes.
Respectfully yours
