Recommendations for Private Study

It is important to put each pronunciation tip into practice whenever you speak English. For Gyuto-e, you are also supposed to work on your own. Your performance on Gyuto-e is monitored and you may receive a warning email if you are behind schedule, but basically you are responsible for your own learning. Plan your work and be careful not to rush at the last minute of the deadline.
