Hi, my name is Arthur, I’ve been an English&nbsp;
teacher for about 40 years in Brazil. And,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:13.980
I’d like to say that through Rachel’s exercises,&nbsp;
my connected speech has been improving a lot. As a&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:20.880
result, my students’ English has been improving&nbsp;
a lot, too. Can you imagine? I get better,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:28.260
they get better. I even downloaded some of&nbsp;
the most common words, and they repeat it&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:37.020
after Rachel and Tom. And usually, teenagers are&nbsp;
really bored, and they don’t like repetitions,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:42.840
and they loved it. And they can notice that&nbsp;
they get better too. I’ve been going to the USA&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:49.320
since 1980. In fact, I’ve just arrived from&nbsp;
New York City and Washington DC, and could&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:57.780
notice how much better my ears are. My speech&nbsp;
organs too. Now, at the hotel, for instance,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:07.920
I would practice with Rachel and Tom the most&nbsp;
common words for 20, 25 minutes before I left&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:16.560
the hotel, and my muscle memory worked better.&nbsp;
My speech organs worked better, just as if I had&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:28.080
exercised at a gym. Not at an Academy, you see?&nbsp;
I had the impression that when you practice the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:36.480
most common words before you are sent out into the&nbsp;
day, when the day embraces you, you are much more&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.412
prepared. That’s the impression I had. And let me&nbsp;
see, I wrote down some of the things I shouldn’t&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:39.412 --> 00:01:46.440
forget. I’m professionally demanding. And I&nbsp;
think I should be. And I’ve taken pronunciation&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:53.220
courses in Sao Paolo, in a lot of different&nbsp;
schools, in London, even at Harvard summer&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:53.220 --> 00:02:03.240
school. And I guarantee: no other pronunciation&nbsp;
course has brought me as many good results,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:12.600
and as much enthusiasm to practice, because, it’s&nbsp;
interesting. Especially the most common words. I&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:19.080
love them. That’s why I talk a lot about them.&nbsp;
No other, no other course. The Academy has been&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:28.080
producing results that no other course, no other&nbsp;
school, no other exercises, because, I get up, and&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:37.320
I feel like practicing the most common words. In&nbsp;
a nutshell, I highly recommend Rachel’s Academy!
