Thanks so much, MMM, joconde and foreverj. I didn't know that Julia Gabriel offers presentation courses, I will check it out in a second :lol: As for British council, yup, maybe it's in-built into their courses where kids are encouraged to speak up - I will think about it....but ever since I tried him out for the holiday programmes, I am quite \"sian\" by their parking policy...very stressed by it. Cannot park more than 10 minutes (?), otherwise have to pay a huge fine.Thanks, everyone. Will check out JG and let you know!
