But don’t just take my word for it, I asked this question to my InFluency Community, a community of non-native speakers around the world, and we came up with this list together! (P.S.

I’ve been teasing it for the past few weeks, but on June 1, we finally had our student meetup! We had 80 students come from all around the world to meet each other – most of us meeting for the very first time in person!
