wrong with Evelyn Wood's
course, there is also nothing
that makes it worth ten times

my students."
Learning a foreign
language can be difficult, but
most of Gould's students say
having an entertaining teacher
makes it easier.
“She is so unique, so bub
bly and full of non-stop
energy," says Heinka Peterson,
a student in Gould’s class.
