Hello!(:

Firstly, I'd like to state that I am not any of your students, so please do not attempt to give any of your students credit (or discredit, whichever is applicable)for this awfully random comment. :D

[neither am I a VS student, for the record. :)]


The point is, I find it highly commendable how you are willing to bother to inculcate interest in English for your students!(: of course we must accept that the success in achieving said aims is almost a different matter totally, but the effort should not be ignored! YAY.


Which is more than can be said for my own English education right now.

I am aware I sound like some stuffy old parent, but am actually still a student.


Shall remain,
