138 English lessons

Since English is not my first language, I always lack confidence to communicate and write in English. Phoebe recognizes this issue and tries to urge me explain my writings to her, face to face, and asks me to write/rephrase sentences during the tutoring session. This methodology builds my confidence to write immediately when I come up with an idea, and I feel more confident to speak because she never laughs at my poor English.
