Mi sono trovata molto bene con Queen, riesce a spiegarti e a farti comprendere l'argomento della lezione in maniera molto semplice e divertente.
Non vedo l'ora di continuare a studiare l'inglese con lei. :)

Oggi bella lezione di Business English. Come già detto in precedenza Queen è perfetta per ogni livello. Infatti, come già detto in una mia precedente recensione, ho programmato ad un ragazzo di 16 anni, rimandato a scuola in Inglese, una serie di lezioni con Queen da luglio fino al giorno prima dell'esame. Il risultato è stato ottimo: 8 sia nello scritto che nell'orale e promosso al quarto anno. Provare per credere!!!

Ciszę się, że w trakcie lekcji wplatasz ćwiczenia z gramatyki, w przyjemny do nauki sposób. Dzięki Tobie gramatyka nie jest taka straszna ☺️ Dziękuję!
