Speaking as a highly experienced tutor in English and German, I have to say I find the new Speak English Clearer course excellent, streets ahead of all the course books I've ever used. It's on a par with or actually better than the BBC language courses (which they seem to have given up doing). For me it shows there is a big overlap between language teaching and voiceover. I like the Chicago skyline background - I like to use cityscape backgrounds in my videos too.
