VIP Class Notes (Mark)

Today we reviewed Sam’s first class and worked on some general pronunciation exercises and the differences in some English word sounds. We also talked about how to practice English efficiently. I recommended that Sam practice for 10-20 minutes three times a day, rather than 60 minutes at once, so that he is exposed to English throughout the day.
