¿Que Dicen los Alumnos de daleingles?

HOLA DAHLI!!!
Agradezco tu dedicación al enseñarme el idioma ingles, al ver lo mucho que me costaba expresarme, pusiste tu conocimiento como profesional que sos, pero con el agregado de tu hermoso corazón, lo cual hace del aprendizaje algo muy distendido, divertido y es un placer cada clase!!!
Es fantastico el avance que veo en estos casi dos meses!!!
En reiteradas oportunidades intente esto tan dificil para mi de aprender el idioma. Incluso con un año de curso de la facultad, no pude entender y hablar como lo hago en tus clases en tan corto tiempo.
Sabes lo mucho que le dedico en tiempo y esfuerzo, pero es porque realmente el resultado esta a la vista.
Sos una trabajadora incansable, enviando material por tu blog y vía email, solo me queda seguir tu ritmo.!!!
Te felicito por lo profesional, lo humano y recomiendo a todos aquellos que realmente quieran aprender, con tecnicas mas aplicadas a nuestro diario vivir.
Gracias Dahli !!! Besos
Nancy Fontes
