The Philosophy of QLIP's Lessons
At QLIP's, the philosophy is that to become a high-level English speaker, one needs to do hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of listening practice. The goal is to make the process enjoyable by creating interesting lessons that are fun to listen to. The lessons focus on teaching not only the English needed for effective communication but also about the culture of English-speaking people and countries.
