Hi Wes! I've learned so many new adjectives in your lesson!! Actually I knew only a few words from your list...Thank you so much for such a great and helpful lesson!! 😃

[성현전-yw]

I’m really grateful for this class. I’ve read some novels to improve my English. However there have been lots of words that I think I can understand the meaning of, but still they are not mine as they are intangible. I’v never been to any English speaking countries and understanding something and feeling it is quite different. It’s like your class builds a bridge between the gaps. Thanks a lot.
