Do you have trouble understanding what you hear in English? Here is a simple, but powerful technique to understand everything you hear in the English language while developing all of your skills simultaneously because many students only focus on one or two. Then when they need to communicate in English they are unable to use the English they have learned. This shows up when you take a fluency test and some skills you perform well in and other you don't. Discover why this happens and how you can improve your English in all the primary and sub skills.
