accept VS except - I always mix these up. Thank you for the question @Jas Karan and thank you for the explanation, Coach @Shane Peterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYCm9IFli0c

@Shane Peterson I’ll accept your joke, except the part where I feel guilty😆

Come back, Alice!

Where people were punished by being left in piss to itch for all eternity.

@Shane PetersonI really love how you take care of everyone. You're an amazing coach! ❣️

@Shane Peterson @Yusuf Akın I started with PIRF Fresh in April 2025. At that time, I didn’t know which course to choose, so I decided to start there. It was mostly self-study, but I still received feedback from our coaches. After some time, I also joined the 8-Week Speaking Course, and once I finished both, I joined DDM and PIRF VIP. These courses helped me a lot in identifying my weaknesses, and they were very effective. However, I wanted to push myself further and be as close to my best level as possible. For that reason, DDM and PIRF together are the perfect combination for me, and the most effective way I’ve found to keep improving consistently. I joined DDM two months ago and PIRF one month ago, and right now I’m trying to make the most of both. I treat them in a similar way: I do what’s required and stay consistent. For DDM, I do my dictation right away. After that, I watch the answer video and try to answer the questions Coach Shane asks. Then I watch the explanation video. Of course, I also join the live classes and practice with the other coaches. For PIRF, since I’m still a newbie, I mainly practice on my own—about three times a day. I haven’t recorded any MyPIRF or BQ questions yet because I’m still trying to organize my schedule, but just like with DDM, I also join the PIRF live classes. Right now, I’m also doing a personal challenge: beating Serge’s 74 live-class record—and I’ve already raised the bar 😄 This is just my experience and my approach. It really depends on what you need. If you want to improve pronunciation, PIRF is excellent. If you want to improve listening, DDM is amazing. In my case, they go hand in hand, so I use both together. As for the Let’s Master English community, I’m quite active. Being active means I’m actually using my English—writing comments, joining live classes like random hangouts, LME Friends’ Club, and AMAs. The more I immerse myself in English, the more I feel myself improving.
