We usually steer our members away from private tutoring because it's very expensive (unless your company is paying for it...or you're just really, really rich!!!). A combination of VIP memberships in PIRF and DDM are usually MORE than enough to GREATLY improve your English skills as long as you stick to the programs and attend as many LIVE classes as you can. We have recently had Gulistan (a lawyer and PhD student from Turkey) and Soooda (a teacher from China) who have attended over 120 hours EVERY MONTH of LIVE classes on top of their VIP lessons. Their English has skyrocketed. The price is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, too. DDM+PIRF Premium is $340/month, DDM+PIRF VIP is $150/month. Private tutoring STARTS at $1250 for ten hours. Just an FYI for everyone!

I know some members want to know where the VIP is!! Right, @Neemias Lima ? IF you are already a member, please directly message Coach @Gulya Karimova and she will make sure you can get in! Neemias, this is you, okay? IF you are NOT a member but would like to join, go here: skool.com/listening (for DDM) skool.com/speaking (for PIRF) I have the LIVE class calendar below in the images (LIVE classes are available to Premium and VIP members). And you can easily go there by clicking here (in the first picture)...

Here’s Coach Shane’s answer video. Watch CS’s mouth shape carefully, and repeat to train your mouth muscles. P.S. This is a reminder for me and also for other students who struggle with the word ‘usually.’ Thank you @Hong Shuishui for your great question.

Lately, I’ve been paying extra attention to the pronunciation of ‘-ing’ based on feedback from our coaches. Here’s Coach @Shane Peterson’s video on how to pronounce it correctly. If anyone struggles with this like I do, maybe it’ll help you too! Let’s keep practicing the right way and master English together 💪✨

How is 'usually' pronounced?The English teacher at a school emphasized that the pronunciation of 'usually' is 'you le li.' I am very confused，
