    Ahmed Rizk Al-Jabri
    It was a period full of information and wonderful conversations during which I was able to learn a lot of methods of dialogue during work, and that benefited me more because I am an Arab and the next period I applied for a job and that work requires an English language. The conversation course really benefited me and taught me a lot, not only in terms of learning conversation, but also The way I meet colleagues, how to ask for help from them, and how to respond when rejected.. With sincere thanks and appreciation.
