David Luff (ID: 00000083a35f5508) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/17/2023 As a native speaker who teaches, writes, and creates videos about learning and confidently using English, I was very disappointed that this extension's English pronunciation is so bad that I have a hard time understanding it. I would not recommend it to anyone!
