These are not tourist curiosities or academic abstractions. They are transmissions — intact or fragmentary — that carry precise spiritual...

Care to have a good command of spoken English? If you’re willing to, look no further. You’re in good hands now! As a matter of fact, listening comes on top of the list when it comes to mastering a second language (this is how we learned our first language in the first place). Thus, exposing ourselves to extended periods of audible language input can never be underestimated. Besides, if we’re keen to take our spoken English to the next level, we are expected to focus on the language as a whole. In other words, it pays to study the grammar, the vocabulary, the phrasal verbs, the idioms ...
