English Lessons and Conversations

Javor Samuelswww.javorlingo.com
This course is designed to educate and enhance the spoken English of Europeans, particularly Poles. As a native-speaking English educator in Poland, I have been to several regions to communicate and interact with locals, and based on my investigation, I have identified a number of extremely typical English mistakes. This podcast will support non-native English speakers in gaining confidence while speaking the language and recognising their pronunciation mistakes via a better comprehension of the language. This is not merely an English course; it is a journey.
