What you will learn

Upper Intermediate to Advanced English Listening Practice + Vocabulary and Pronunciation

How to speak like a native speaker and understand a variety of different American English speakers

Over 500 vocabulary words in context

Description

Learn to understand native English speakers from the US by learning how they really talk! 


Have you tried all the apps and textbooks but still have problems with everyday conversations in English?

It's time to change your focus.


Do you feel "stuck" with your English? Maybe you've almost given up because...

  • You're overwhelmed with the amount of vocabulary (phrasal verbs, idioms, and expressions) you need to learn and don't know where to begin.

  • You feel like you translate in your head instead of thinking in English.

  • You don't feel comfortable speaking with English speakers and you often have to ask them to repeat themselves.

  • Despite all your efforts, your English isn't getting any better.


As a certified English teacher who specializes in teaching intermediate level students, I'm here to tell you that it's not your fault. You just need something real!


The way to quickly take your English from an intermediate to an advanced level is by consistently listening to real native speakers talking about common topics that are relevant to our lives.

You also need to take the vocabulary you hear from real people, study it, and learn to use it in context. No translations!

Think about it, how did you learn your native language?

You learned it naturally, from real people: without translating, without textbooks, without apps!


Introducing... Real Talk English!

An American English listening, vocabulary and pronunciation course based on audio interviews from REAL native speakers!

The perfect course for all adult intermediate English learners who want to build their confidence in understanding people from the United States.


You'll learn how to...

  • Understand a variety of different American English speakers when they talk about real-world situations.

    (So you can stop asking them to repeat themselves or pretending like you understood them when you actually didn't!)

  • Correctly use and remember 100s of new words, expressions, idioms, and phrasal verbs.

    (So your real personality can shine when you're having conversations in English.)

  • Expand your vocabulary on different topics by hearing new words in context.

    (Without translating words in your brain!)

  • Pronounce things more naturally when speaking in English.

    (So you can feel confident and understood.)

Thanks for creating this wonderful course. As this course teaches how to understand native English speakers, most non-native speakers will find this course to be highly rewarding and beneficial! Thanks, Emma, for your personal contribution to the development of the course. Yours respectfully, Neil.

This is my favorite online English course. I'm improving my listening skill, I'm increasing my vocabulary in an easy fun way, and learning a lot. I like that these are not grammar lessons but real conversations about everyday topics. I strongly recommend this course for everyone who wants to learn real English and is tired of learning English in a traditional way.

The best thing about this course is that you're listening to real people speaking English naturally and how they do it in a regular basis. It's not forcedly made like those dialogs from textbooks (script reading a dialogs), they're talking in the most naturally way possible and they're just being themselves. This is awesome because you can train your ear to listen and experience lots of different people and their own way to view/talk about the things they like they dislike and so.
