The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour

KESIMPULAN PENTING !!
Sekarang jika diantara orang inggris sendiri tidak memiliki kesepakatan yang  sama dalam GRAMMAR, dalam pengucapan, dalam kosakata. Bahkan mereka sendiri sampai saat ini bicara dengan bahasa yang menurut Grammar adalah SALAH !! .. kenapa kita harus merasa TAKUT SALAH !! ... hajar saja. Gunakan bahasa Inggris sejak awal kursus ini, praktekan sampai otomatis tanpa berpikir. Urusan Grammar belakangan saja .. itu nomer 10001 ...

INGAT!!!
Bahasa adalah skill, jadi jangan sampai anda mengatakan, “yang penting saya sudah tahu…” bicara
bahasa bukan bicara tahu, tetapi anda bisa melakukannya secara otomatis… kuncinya adalah, practice,
practice n practice….  Sehingga anda bisa melakukannya secara otomatis tanpa berpikir lagi…..
(authomaticly without thingking)
Okey ??
