Best Online Resources for Speaking
Talking about Speaking, having someone or friend who can speak English as partner is not easy. Sometimes, they are busy or perhaps, we really have no friends who are confident enough to help us. Such challenge is usually happened for students. They struggle to find friends to communicate with, consistently. Some also fear of getting bullied because others think they are too ambitious or show off their skills.
While for teachers, the challenge comes from how to get material spoken in comprehensible and appropriate accent or speed for the students.
