Hi Lindsay,
I felt excited that you are talking about all of the problems that I have along with many others. I’m not a native speaker, and I don’t have the confidence. I feel isolated since I don’t speak like a native.
I’m ready to take the classes if it helps me to be more confident and relaxed in conversations. I’m not sure if it suits people outside of the US since I’m in Canada.
You talk about being familiar with the culture, so would the videos be boring for people living outside of the US?
