Bahkan mereka sendiri sampai saat ini bicara dengan bahasa yang menurut Grammar adalah SALAH !! .. kenapa kita harus merasa TAKUT SALAH !! ... hajar saja. ..gunakan bahasa Inggris sejak awal kursus ini, praktekan sampai otomatis tanpa berpikir. Urusan Grammar belakangan saja .. itu nomer 10001 ...

Okey ??
