This included basic grammar, essential vocabulary, and everyday conversational skills. I also learned to comprehend and use simple sentence structures in English, which allowed me to communicate in common situations. 2. Which were the most highlighted difficulties you had in the course? The most notable difficulties I faced in the course included pronunciation and listening comprehension.
