Your goal is to deliver a message, not speak perfect English, with the right grammar and

speaking more fluently and confidently in English conversations, learning how to give
your opinions in English with new expressions and idioms.

Every time you talk to someone in English is an achievement. Every single interaction you
have, no matter how small, will help you improve your skills over time. Be proud of your
progress.
