My English is very poor,Listening and speaking in particular is bad.
I had to communicate with foreigners at work, is a very good experience.
But foreigners are not used to accent, so some communication difficulties.
Through ESL Randall's Cyber Listening Lab, I could get used to the accent of foreigners.
This avoids the dilemma does not know what to say.
