My name is Jantima and my nickname Beau

Welcome, Jantima. Let's enjoy learning. As you know, I'm sure, learning comes naturally. It's something people do, like eating, sleeping, playing sports. The more relaxed you are, the more you will learn. English is an international language. Proficiency in English provides opportunities in this country and around the world. So your choice to study and improve your skill is an excellent one.

My name is Frhancesca.Good morning everybody

Nice to meet you, Frhancesca. You have a good opportunity in this class, because you speak a language other students don't know (maybe two or three know French). You will learn to communicate more clearly in English. That ability will give you more power and choices for the future. 

Welcome to winter class

It's winter. It's cold. That's a perfect time to concentrate on learning. You can learn a lot quickly in winter. The important thing is to practice as much as you can, speak and listen. Try not to translate. English only is the best way to learn fast.

Welcome! This class is fun. You also learn fastest if you enjoy yourself with your classmates and teacher.
