[Speaking] Talk about why you continue to study with 입트영

I am a working mom with one daughter. I press first decided to learn English because I wanted to go on vacation to Guam with my family. My husband and grey grade-school daughter can’t speak a word of English. Saddly, however, Covid 19 put a hard halt to our travel plans.

Instead, I was lucky after enough to begin studying with 입트영. I have been keeping at it for over a year now. I am hooked on the program because it addresses my questions about how to say things in English. I also use phone–based English programs to try and use the expressions I’ve learned.

The big thing I planned‘ve learned while studying English is that I shouldn’t rush myself. It’s better to treat English as a lifelong friend, having fun as I study it everyday.
