Vaughan can teach you speak up

Hi, there!,

Last year, I introduced you Richard Vaughan, an excellent popular English teacher who created his own method to teach English, it is actually very wellknown.

Now, thanks to this interesting video, I hope you'll feel more motivated to start speaking English; since Mr Vaughan is sitting next to one of his pupils, she is a middle-aged woman, she is learning English as YOU! Pay attention to the error-corrections, pronunciation, how he introduces some linking words, etc. It's useful for you!
