semester is around the corner parents have to pay tuition fee dont wanna them to worry)
+ wait for the course
- Talking to foreigner in a public places: get chances to listen to native sounds but:
+ some are not willing to talk
+ live in Nam Dinh, not a big city like HN not many native speakers at public areas.
- Joining an E club:
+ people have the same interest and target: practice speaking E extremely native-like
environment.
+ reasonable fee: 100-200k monthly Ss can afford it
