work with me

I have become more aware of my pronunciation. My listening skills have been improving. Speaking with native English speakers, especially in chit-chat, has felt easier.

I want to practise more reading with paragraphs, short stories or conversation scripts — it helps me apply what I’ve learnt in real situations and refresh my memory.

I love the lessons combining listening, vocabulary and oral skills.

I’m feeling somewhat confident speaking English and more motivated than before.

I feel more confident now when I speak with native people. I have also enriched my vocabulary.

Listening and speaking using phrasal verbs and slangs has become easier.

I’ve noticed improvement in my clarity and pace. I’m becoming more aware of the need to practise connection and make my speech flow naturally.

I re-read in-class exercises and keep checking my notes.

I’m feeling very confident about my progress.

I’ve become more aware of my own mistakes and when Aussies use the connections I learnt.

I’ve also noticed how improving my own pronunciation has helped communication with my non-native colleagues.

I practise with the PDFs and audio files, and even repeat signs out loud when I walk my dog.

I can now clearly hear and produce ‘th’ sounds, and I notice pronunciation details when others speak — like when someone mispronounced ‘barramundi’ the other day!

I’m feeling very confident and proud of the progress I’ve made.

I’ve become aware of my pronunciation mistakes with the P sound, ending z, middle s, and ‘th’ sounds.

My listening skills have improved a little, and I’ve been preparing for each lesson in advance.

I’m feeling somewhat confident and noticing more things as I speak

I’ve become more confident in speaking and preparing before each lesson. That small process has helped improve my listening skills and vocabulary.

Even though it’s sometimes hard to express myself because of limited vocabulary, Amanda motivates me to explain things in different ways. That’s something I couldn’t do before starting the class.

Before, I was scared to talk in front of the mirror or even to myself. Now, I sometimes have small talks with myself and can think quicker during role plays.

I’ve also started reading newspapers daily and writing reviews in my notebook. It’s a small step, but a big improvement.

I’m feeling very confident and looking forward to using what I’ve learnt in real life.

I started understanding more on the first go. My pronunciation and intonation are getting better. While speaking, my accent is starting to influence me naturally. For example, the word “water” now comes out as “WA-DE” automatically.

I understand the dialogues in the homework without using the transcript on the first try. Speaking fluency isn’t great yet, but I know it’ll take time.

Before every class, I make sure I’ve completed the homework and reviewed previous lessons. I also correct myself during lessons when I feel the pronunciation isn’t right.

I’m working on my intonation and becoming more aware of how words should sound, even if it’s not always what I end up saying.

I’m feeling very confident about my progress so far.
