KESIMPULAN PENTING !!

Sekarang jika diantara orang inggris sendiri tidak memiliki kesepakatan yang sama dalam
GRAMMAR, dalam pengucapan, dalam kosakata. 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 ??
