About this course
Welcome to this program, a program designed for you to take control of your speaking in a way that will enable you to go as far as you desire. There is nothing quite like this anywhere, especially for those at the advanced levels of English.
I will walk by your side till you can do what it takes for you to achieve the levels you aspire to.
You will find everything you need here. You will receive individualised support right along to ensure that your do not get stuck on your journey.
IMPORTANT: Please read every word before you start. This is to ensure that you get the best possible experience as you progress and don't have to unnecessarily backtrack.
Some basic and essential information to help your start be smooth and easy.

Meet Andrew!
Find out about the recommended resources.
As with anything that one builds, the foundations we lay play a large part in determining the strength, resilience and longevity of what we build.
Here we are laying the foundations of an approach that will put you on a path to perpetual improvement. Without adequately preparing yourself for this journey, your chances of success will diminish markedly.
So pay close attention!
Here we will look at some of the basic things you need to do (and what you need to stop doing) in your life if you are to maximise your progress.
Again, make sure you pay close attention to what you find here.
By gaining a better understanding of who we are and how we work best, we can make our learning smoother and easier.
This area is too often ignored, more than possibly creating obstacles where there don't need to be any.
Without learning to develop beliefs and mindsets that support your learning, you are going to be pulling around a large heavy metal ball tied to your legs!
That will surely slow you down and eventually may discourage you from doing any more work. So make sure you get rid of these weights!!
Listening is an integral and essential skill that you need to develop and learn to use to drive your learning. This skill is talked about by many BUT there are very few who really understand how this skill can be developed.
Here you will get a look at what you need to "start" doing in order for your listening to develop. Right throughout this course, we will be concentrating on this skill, so this lesson is one you may need to return to later on.
Here you will be given a key distinction to help you better understand what to learn and when to learn it.
This lesson will help take your practice to new levels, giving you better results for the time you put in.
Too many people believe that practice by itself will get you to the "promised land".
The reality is that practice can range from doing nothing to being of some help to being of real help that can guarantee your progress.
You need to get this distinction real clear, before moving ahead. Progress past this lesson without being crystal clear will hamper your progress.
As always, ask if you have any doubts!
This is the kind of practice that is guaranteed to help you progress. Either to the point where you clearly know you need help, or to the point where you know you can move to the next issue. BOTH outcomes are desirable!
This lesson is all about making your learning zing! About finding your mo jo (if you have lost it) and maintaining it!
Make sure you listen to this brief lesson to ensure you get maximum value from the rest of this module.
Before we jump in, I just wanted to spend a little time on some basics for those of you who have had little formal English training.
There should be not much new for those who have had that, but it really depends upon how good was this training! :-)
Here you will learn a way to improve or fix the way you speak by focussing on vowels. This is a critical lesson as a lot of what comes later builds on what is dealt with in this lesson.
This is where you build on the work you did last lesson...by adding a simple element, the consonants!
Doing this lesson carefully so the quality of the sound you settle on then does not degrade is essential IF your progress is to continue.
We keep building in this lesson. make sure you don't skip any lessons as we are laying a foundation here on which everything else will sit.
Here the difficulty level ramps up a bit. A lot for those of you who are challenged by some consonants. The blends will test you further. :-)
This module has been put before many others that I am sure you are waiting for as without having enough opportunities to speak to people what comes next will have much less value.
It is not enough to just to speak to one person. Talking with a range of people about different subjects will help you build your confidence AND provide the practice time you need to implement what you will be learning.
If you already speak a lot great!. However, if you don't, be clear this is a TOP priority!
Along with that I will say that speaking at home with your loved ones in English is also a TOP priority. As it is with them you are the most relaxed. It is with them that you will be speaking about things, in ways, you don't speak to anyone else.
Find out why wide-ranging and sustained conversations are something you can't do without IF you wish express yourselves as well in it as your first language.
This is another lesson for you IF you have difficulties in talking with people ( in English).
Even if you are fine in your first language but struggle in English, I would suggest having a look at this lesson. It will give you some guidance to help you out.
The nature of stress and reduced stress lies at the very heart of speaking in English.
This lesson starts to go deeper into the uniqueness of English pronunciation.
The stressing and "unstressing" of vowels is a key aspect of English. Here you will get a look into the different kinds of unstressed vowels and how you can produce them.
