I think maybe I've always suspected that going to class is like asking someone to be your personal chef plus trainer instead of just eating healthily and exercising by yourself, like most fit people do.<br />http://simpleenglishuk.wordpress.com/2014/06/13/why-students-need-to-be-han-solo/nicola prentishttp://www.simpleenglishuk.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714045366168902489.post-87849267189204639412014-12-09T05:53:14.546-08:002014-12-09T05:53:14.546-08:00" In order to learn a language students have ..."
