Testimonial
"Before I joined Let’s Chat, I used to be very shy and nervous to speak in class or even ask questions to the lecturers and I would end up not understanding most of the lectures. Also, I struggled to get along with my classmates as no one would really start a conversation with one another in class. After joining Let’s Chat classes, I made so many friends from different countries who I could comfortably talk to using English, knowing that we were in the same boat wanting to improve our speaking skills. Not only did this drastically help me improve my speaking ability and my confidence, but it also opened my mind about cultural differences around the world. In class, I wasn’t scared of any individual presentations and participation marks anymore and I was praised for my presentations by many of my lecturers."
