  3. Please consider making a French pronunciation course. Your lessons are so useful. This brilliant information should not be free. A second benefit for me as a student is that with a course you can teach at a slower pace (personally I need a little more time to absorb the sounds and compare).

  4. Dear lexie i am always always happy learning from yr videos. The only thing is that your left hand wriggling around opening and closing , nails painted and so much action is very very distracting for learners. Your hand should not be the main center of attention. We are trying to concentrate on listening and watching your mouth, not a flapping hand. Please consider xxxx
