I’ve been learning English for more than a year and even though I’ve taken a few breaks during my learning process, I’ve always struggled with speaking section.

I decided to follow her advice because I really wanted to improve my speech and this process involved this process involved a few steps. The first thing I should watch five minutes of the video and after that I imitate them and I repeated this process for more than five times. Over time I realized some improvement in my speech and not only did it help me improve my speech but also it helped improving my listening skills without much effort.
