Hey,

I’m interested in your English courses and wanted to get some details. Can you tell me how much they cost and how long they last? Also, what kind of teachers do you have?

I’m thinking about taking an IELTS course, so do you have anything specific for that? Also, when can I start? Let me know ASAP.

Thanks,
Ramos
