Flexible. I can set my own schedule for learning without
fixing my schedule in advance.
The most enjoyable moment is when I speak with my
favorite coach about my favorite topic, which has given me
the confidence to speak in English.
I can speak with native speakers every week just paying
US$6-8 per lesson.
At my English interview, I was able to respond naturally
and felt no stress at all.
