Hi my name is Eliane and I am very interested in learning to speak, read and write the English of everyday . I already tried twice to do a course in English, unfortunately did not give more money to pay for the course. So I'm putting on the internet site, several audios and hear every day.

Congratulations.
Cheers/ Kisses
