    This course is helpful. There has been many aspects of English that i have learnt throughout this course like how to use polite words and phases. Many people don't know how to use words properly but once they learned this course, its is obvious that they are going to improve some grammar areas where mistakes are commonly made. Not only on speaking purposes but even in written form. BBc course is made to improve our daily speaking english. It is also good to those who opt to be journalists and broadcasters. Its strengthens their vocabulary at all cost. People my join this course and learn much about English.
