”When I arrived here five months ago I couldn't listen to someone in English and my reading skills were limited. Nowadays I can listen well, I can read not only trivial things but also academic articles, and I can discuss many different topics. My best friends at Kaplan are from China and Turkey. I am Brazilian. I don’t have any other way instead of talking in English to them.”
