I get through the lessons and get sometimes the impression, that things are sometimes not pronounced as it really should..there is hardly no difference between some letters which are already soooo difficult for us to pronounce.
between ta, en tta, tha en ttha…etc…there is a difference to pronounce…but my friend also cannot hear that from your lesson..
but otherwize i really appriciate your lessons. thank you.
