Hi Peter,
I’m an English teacher and also a student cause I feel the need to improve my English every single day. I’m constantly studying.Therefore I want to thank you for your help. Speaking is my weakest point and that led me to subscribe for your online course which has been of great help. I also follow your weekly speaking programmes. I enjoyed listening to João and Werner. I hope to take part in one of the programmes pretty soon.
Best wishes,

This website is very useful because, eventhough I’m an English teacher with good fluency in spoken English, I tend to make mistakes sometimes when I’m speaking spontaneously.
Best wishes.

they both use a great language, but, to tell the truth, I was really impressed by Werner. I’ve met a lot of German people and he has by far the best pronunciation.

I must thank splendid-speaking.com for their invaluable efforts and services and the opportunities extended towards us to enjoy its contributions and for giving us a platform to get together from every nook and corner of the world. I wish I could have someone (preferably a native English speaker) to chat with and help me out, having a good amount of patience to endure with my slow and full of error speaking. Truly, we can enhance our communication skills by reading and writing. But it achieves the perfection only when we improve listening and speaking. If anybody is willing to help out others - though it will be a bit boring to speak someone who doesn’t know English well - please drop in a mail to aslam7000@gmail.com.

Altough they made some mistakes, probably because they were talking spontaneously, I think they did pretty well. Both have really good pronunciation, congratulations for you guys!
