About
My name is Tomasz P. Szynalski. I live in Poland. In the 1990s, my friend and I taught ourselves to speak English fluently (with a native-like American accent) in about 3 years, using some unorthodox learning techniques. In 2001, we founded Antimoon to share our insights with other English learners.
