So, uh, yeah, we'll see how it goes. Um, yeah, so this week we are talking about a feedback week. So, um, in FFCC we do feedback week once or twice a year, and it is a way for FFCC members to, um, give us some feedback and tell us how we are doing. And, um, you know, we'd like to hear the feedback because we want to improve the FFCC experience. We wanna know your thoughts and how you feel, um, about your progress or how FFCC is going in general. And then of course, we give you feedback as well. Um, I'm sure you know, everybody who is studying a language wants to know, Hey, am I improving? I don't know if I'm improving. Most people say, I don't think I'm improving. Um, but I think us teachers see the improvement that, um, English learners are making. Wouldn't you agree, Karyn?
