What folks are saying about yesukan

W. M. (Student)

I am now speaking more accurately and better communicate with my supervisor. I am learning the English grammar rules and the irregular verbs. I like their patience when I’m late from work and the prayer time. It doesn’t matter your color, background or height, you are welcome here.
