Non-native speaker + 60 Day Study Guide

by baixa2329 » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:23 pm

Hi everyone!!! I'm from Costa Rica, thus I'm a non-native speaker. I'm taking the 60 days SG, but I need to begin the reinforcement of my verbal area. I would like someone to give me some advice, for a way in which I can complement my study guide with the verbal training (before I arrive to that moment in the original study guide plan).

Thanks a lot and best regards!!!
