What is possible in Fluency School — Part 2

In 2020, we celebrated our 10th Fluency School course. At that time, we asked some of our former students to describe Fluency School in 3 words and share what life is like after Fluency School. 

Maria

It helped me to unlock my potential and change my mindset… I learned tools and strategies that allowed me to stop translating in my mind. When I did that, it was like a click, like a new way of speaking in English.”

Andres

“I went to 2 or 3 business schools before Fluency School. And all of them, let’s say, didn’t meet my expectations. So I was tired, frustrated… Once I started Fluency School, I realized that you have a very structured process for students to go from very simple personal introductions to speaking at length. It all makes sense.”

Audrey

I’m on the right path… The most important skill for me was small talk strategies. I’m both an introverted person and a nonnative speaker. Now with the strategy of small talk, I know how to really make friends in English.”

Alena

“I feel a lot more confident because I don’t feel lost.”

Ana Maria

“I don’t want to use the word magic… but I have to say, your team and your methodology, it is the best way for me to discover that making a change is possible. After I finished Fluency School, I decided to do some job interviews… and after going through that, I received a job offer.”

Aide, Graduate Student, Ecuador (Living in U.S.)

“I was so shy and quiet when conversations were happening around me. I was insecure, I didn’t feel like I could say a sentence. Even though I knew how to say it, I was so nervous. I’ve taken so many classes and they helped me to a point but I was feeling like I was stuck there… and that’s how I found Fluency School.”

Iryna, Child Psychiatrist & Researcher, Ukraine

“I struggled in speaking. But I deeply believe that when a person is ready to work hard, to change yourself, the universe will show the way… you only need to decide. And the way to success was Fluency School for me. I completed Fluency School in April this year and after this course, it has changed my life. Not only English skills, but also my personality. I became more confident, brave.”

Karina, Business Professional, Mexico (Living in the U.S.)

“I took many courses. In college. Online. Of course, those courses helped me. But I really, really wanted to speak English with fluency, with clarity, without panic. Unfortunately, those courses didn’t help me to do that. When I found Fluency School, I absolutely hesitated because I thought, “What if it is another course like others?” After thinking a lot, I decided to enroll. After 1 month, I noticed that those fears that I had disappeared. Why? Because I don’t feel panic when I need to speak English… This school has changed my life.”

Gergana, Business Professional, Bulgaria

“I was silent in meetings. I feared to express myself, to defend my ideas… I was afraid there was something wrong with me. With Fluency School, everything changed. I’m not anxious when I need to speak in English anymore. I don’t panic. If I have to pick a word, it would be freedom. Now I feel free.”

Marianne, Retired Teacher, Germany

“This course has changed my whole self-confidence for the better and I am able to express myself more powerfully now… everybody should have the chance to try that.”

Lizeth, El Salvador (Living in the U.S.)

“I was mortified of making mistakes. It was frustrating having studied English for 5 years and not being able to share my thoughts in English.
After Fluency School, I feel more confident. Now I’m empowered to the point that I’m not avoiding small talk anymore. That gives me a feeling of success that I didn’t have before.”

Linda

“I joined other training classes in other institutions, some of them took me several months but at the end I still can’t get there. That was my biggest concern.

Fluency School was over my expectations… now I feel I’m not so worried about leading discussions or doing a presentation.”

“As a professor, I recognize that engaging in academic exchanges with scholars from a diversity of countries is essential for my career development. Yet I was always unsure whether my English sounded professional and confident. The insecurity impeded me from carrying on conversations and enjoying information exchanges.

I joined Confident Women Community first and was impressed by the vibrant and supportive atmosphere. Then I attended Fluency School which totally changed my English learning experiences.

Fluency School taught me not only English speaking skills but also communicative strategies. This makes me feel empowered when engaging in international networking. Fluency School opens up a whole new world of opportunities for me.”

Chih-Shian

I had the impression there is something magical happening in Fluency School… I need to join. And, after Fluency School, it’s completely new me. More confident and daring to take up challenges. I feel more control while I’m speaking and more organized. And I’m able to give any spontaneous response now.”

Sandy, Taiwan (Living in Tasmania)

“I didn’t have a job when I joined Fluency School. It was kind of a big decision for me to join. But I didn’t regret. It opens up a lot of opportunities… There was a dream job. I met an author of children’s books… I met the author in Tasmania and we talked. I didn’t feel afraid. It was such a great opportunity.”

“I have observed huge breakthroughs over the past 6 weeks such as, I’m now handling my meetings and communicating ideas or Inputs with more confidence, emphasis and power on my voice tone. Therefore, my viewpoint is more likely to be heard than before.”
Hemlata

“I used to get very anxious when I was trying to speak in English. I took a lot of courses, in Colombia and in New York too. But I didn’t see any progress in my speaking… but with Fluency School, I could see my progress every week. The first week I could see how shy I was, how difficult it was for me to talk for a little bit. And then at the end, to see how I can speak for 3 minutes, 4 minutes.”

“Before Fluency School,I worked hard learning English for many years.

It was just like fishing for needle in the sea, I struggled to see any results.

Julie, China (Living in the U.S.)

Jeongok, South Korea

(Living in the U.S.)

“Definitely, Fluency School is different!

Kristien, Belgium

Elvira, Spain

“Now I am more daring and I don’t mind speaking in English, even knowing that I make some mistakes.

Before the course, the fear of ridicule didn’t allow me to speak.

But now I feel less shy and more comfortable speaking.

Above all, I have managed to have time to think about what I want to say and feel more confident.”

Xua, China

(Living in the U.S.)

“I speak more naturally and in control than before.

I can confidently call my clients without a long preparation which I feel frustrated and tried to avoid every time.

It’s like a magic, but I know it is really not. Annemarie, you are the best! Thank you for keeping this course with such a high quality! I appreciate your help.”

Daniela, Colombia

(Living in Australia)

“To be honest, I didn’t expect Fluency School would make me improve my English so much. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE FLUENCY SCHOOL.

I was looking for more English classes because mine are not enough and I was not improving my English as I would like to.

I found Fluency school on Facebook, so I looked at everything about it and the videos on the website made me join because they speak about their amazing experience, so my words were: why not?”

Kristien, Belgium

Kristien, Belgium

“One for all, All for one!

 This famous motto of the Three Musketeers – who were four: Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D ‘Artagnan – from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, also applies perfectly to Fluency School.

How? The quality, support, and drive of the entire Fluency School Team and the enthusiasm of all students to improve was heartwarming.

My goal was to gain confidence so that I feel more relaxed during an English conversation. Now I feel less stuck and speak with more confidence, with a natural speed that makes it easier to understand.

So I’m overjoyed to see how much progress I’ve made in this course!

With the endless support of Fluency School, I’ve achieved my goal and breakthroughs.

I realized my dream and did it lesson after lesson – thanks to everyone!

I’m so grateful!”

In the Fluency School I’ve learnt so many strategies and tools that none of my previous courses offered to use.

Before the Fluency School one thought about public presentation in English made me to feel very stressful, but now I’m 100% sure that I can do it, because I have so many tools that can help me.”

Eglé, Lithuania

“Before Fluency School, I was afraid to say any word, I was afraid to open mouth, I was afraid to make mistakes. I was shy and I stand in the corner of the room just to avoid any questions or conversations.

I wanted to enjoy my life, to become stronger and confident then speaking English. To join Fluency School was the best my best decision. I am still afraid a little bit, but now I am not afraid to speak, I learn some strategies, and I know that I can do it small step by step.

I was worried about my English level because I know that I have some issues with activating vocabulary and grammar but I understood very quickly that I can feel safe in the community, everyone has his own challenges, we are all here for different learning processes and the support is fantastic.

Other noticed changes are my confidence to speak in English. As I had a client over recently, I felt more free in expressing myself and had no fears about speaking. I’m now able to tap into vocabulary with the help of technics we learned. These are tremendous steps forward.

I think that you are doing a tremendous job. You gave all of us enough time to speak, personal feedback, reply on personal questions and most importantly you activate feeling confident.

Laura, Spain

It’s amazing the improvement I’ve made in my confidence speaking English.

“I was afraid of joining Fluency School because of the challenges… I didn’t know whether I was prepared of going out of my comfort zone or not.

I was totally wrong thinking that perhaps the course didn’t work for me. It’s amazing the improvement I’ve made in my confidence speaking English. Now I feel much more comfortable.

Thanit, Thailand

“I used to really hate having a small talk or a conversation in English. My heart beat so fast just seeing a foreigner because I don’t want to speak!

Aksana, Belarus (Living in the U.S.)

My confidence definitely increased.

“The biggest challenge for me was to overpass the fear to speak, to make mistakes and the fear people can not understand what I was saying. It was awful feeling fear and insecurity. It made me take myself apart from others.

In Fluency School I was surprised about the strategies to be a better speaker, these strategies are not just useful for being fluent in English, furthermore, these strategies can be applied to any foreign language and to your native language!

My confidence definitely increased. In fact, I was with some American friends yesterday, and one month ago I would have been avoiding holding a long conversation with them, but suddenly, I found myself having a very confident conversation about my professional background when they asked me about that.”

Elizabeth, Bolivia

“Before Fluency School, I was constantly worry about my weak vocabulary and having some meaningful conversation. I was stuck with my English. I knew I have to do something.

The decision to join Fluency school was one of the best decision I’ve made in my life. The support and positiveness inspire me to learn more, the techniques for studying are very helpful.

It made me feel more confident and courageous in any conversation I do.”

Lorencija, Lithuania (Living in the U.S.)

“Hands down, this is one of the best English-speaking courses out there. I really wish I would have found this a few years ago when I started my English journey. I would have reached my goals faster,  but I am glad I have found this now.

The content, videos, coaching sessions, and feedback are very well organized and professional quality. Although these are group coaching sessions, it felt like one-on-one sessions with the keen interest shown by the instructors.

Last but not the least, helping me and all of the students with patience, smile and kindness by all the instructors during the entire journey were phenomenal and very inspirational.

This program has helped me and tremendously. It helps  people from all over the world for whom English is a second language and also I personally feel for English Speakers outside of US, but does a lot of interactions/business with native Speakers from the USA.

Bottom line, this is NOT just an English coaching course rather, it might change your life for better if you are open to excellence in your life. Thank you very much Annemarie and team.”

Maria, Spain

“Before Fluency School, I felt very frustrated, and I thought that my time in Boston wasn’t improving my English skills. And my problem with other courses was that I couldn’t see the difference between before and after.

Denise, Nursing Assistant, Ecuador (Living in U.S.)

It was the only course I got which provided a personal feedback and real techniques that work. I think became more confident in English, and I feel that I can communicate much more clearly. I’ve started to use your strategies and they help me to make the right choices in grammar.

And I think the most important is that I accepted my accent, stopped to feel shy.”

Yulia, Russia (Living in New Zealand)

Yumi, Japan

(Yumi now lives in France.)

“I joined Fluency School because I absolutely needed to speak English confidently at work to keep my position and to progress my career.

Anna, Tax Lawyer, Ukraine (Living in Canada)

“I was nervous. I was somewhat hesitant because I haven’t had previous experience of taking online classes and I was not sure how this will go. But I decided if I don’t try, I will not know… the greatest benefit was I regained my confidence.”

“Before Fluency School I thought that many things, like speaking through several minutes, take part in a discussion, are impossible for me.

But now I feel more comfortable with my English. I got motivation and the tools to improve my skills.

During the Fluency School course we were learning the most relevant things for us, such as: speaking about ourselves, be prepare for the most likely to happen situations.

In the previous  courses I was taught a lot of grammar, vocabulary but I couldn’t apply them to my life, to my situation, and because of that I forgot a lot.

Elzbieta, Poland

“Before Fluency School, the most difficult for me was always SPEAKING. I was unsure to talk.

Fluency School was a milestone in my life. I’ve studied English since I was a teenager, but the only method that really works is of Fluency School.

What really change was my fear to speak. I was always getting stuck and I didn’t have confidence enough to talk to others, but after Fluency School everything is different.

Each week you gain ground and you learn techniques to improve your fluency. When you reach the end of the course and you realize how much progress do you made, you don’t believe it. It’s amazing.”

Nicolas, Brazil

Monica, Colombia

(Living in U.S.)

“There are two things that made me make the decision to join. First, the insights that the website had. I felt that this course was created for me. When I read if I felt nervous, if I feel stuck, etc., I was thinking this is for me. That is exactly what I was looking for for many years. Second, when I met Annemarie,  she has the feeling to make to feel others comfortable. She is very professional and kind. It gave me complete trust.

I feel that it is specialized for shy people, or maybe people that feel they are stuck. Annemarie has the tools to improve it. She has something different from other courses. I have had many courses on my life, I got certificates, I did Rosetta Stone, I got a personal professor, but she has something that helps you achieve to be unstuck. Something to give you a new opportunity to believe that you are able to speak in English. She knows exactly the common mistakes that the people make on English, and she knows how to improve it. For a professional environment or daily life this course in my opinion is the best!

Finally, I just want to say thank you to Annemarie. I think she can’t imagine the change that she did in me. It’s a kind of rehabilitation. Now, I want to speak English with my husband, I want to learn more vocabulary, I want more and more. And the most important thing, I’m thinking in English.”

Anna-Maria, Hungary

(Living in Canada)

“Before Fluency School I was nervous and always I translated what I wanted to say. I was afraid to ask questions if I didn’t understand something.

But after Fluency School, I am enough brave to have conversation and more confident. In fact, I had a seminar yesterday and my teacher said, ‘I was surprised about your speaking, your speaking  skills improved a lot.’ I used  the strategies what I learned from Fluency School.”

Bayan, Jordan

(Living in Saudi Arabia)

“Before I took Fluency School, I lacked the self-confidence to speak in English, I used to be so nervous and usually, I will get stuck repeating the same sentence over and over.

The Fluency School team is just fabulous and I’m thankful I have you right now in my life.”

Maisa, Brazil

“Before Fluency School, I worried that I won’t have time, but surprise, you did something, that forced me to have time for English. 🙂

Also, I wasn’t sure about online courses is the most appropriate way for English, but you destroy this myth. Online is the most comfortable way because you only need to have the internet connection.”

“I was worried that this course would be similar to a previous one I took and I didn’t like but there was something in Annemarie’s words that convinced me and I decided to join. After I joined I was really surprised, happy, excited, thankful and feeling blessed that I finally found what I was looking for, a real course that helps me to overcome my fears and improve my English.

Fluency school is personalized for every student with feedback on everything that we do. Also, Fluency School helps to keep you motivated and continue with what we started.

The only thing I can say is I’m really happy, satisfied and thankful with Fluency School. Now I’m not worried to open my mouth to express my ideas because I know that I’m prepared for this. I don’t want to stop.”

I was surprised by how comfortable I felt talking with other people.”

“I feel really more confident going to work, getting the phone calls… I notice also when I’m on the phone, I speak more calm.”

Lina, Project Manager, Lithuania

“I saw the name Fluency School. The name was my goal. I always wanted to speak fluently. And this name got my attention. I started look at what it is. The second thing is this course is I don’t need to go anywhere. It’s online. The name, the place, and the time, you targeted my requirements.”

Dzmitry, Business Owner, Belarus 

“Just do it. Simple. Do it. I can only add it’s not easy. You have to work hard. If you want to have the best results. But don’t be afraid because you’ll take satisfaction during the classes.”

Maria, Laywer, Spain

“After this kind of course you will feel totally different, your relationship with the language will be totally different… My vision after the course is English is my friend, and before, it was my enemy.”

“I feel really proud of myself because I gave my best and I feel like I had an amazing experience that I would love to repeat again.

I just wanted to say one last time, even when I sound repetitive, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your passion as a teacher. I can totally see that you enjoy your work and our achievements too.

You took the time to be part of my personal learning in the last 4 amazing weeks. I have never had a teacher like you who took my progress and my mistakes and actually gave me feedback and understood my needs and saw not only my mistakes but my progress.”

Janneth, Mexico

“Before I started, I was like a deer in headlights when I was surrounded with fluent English people and clammed up. From the course, I noticed changes in my pronunciation and my fluency. I’m much more spontaneous now than before.

But I feel that this is just the first step of my work and I want to keep practicing. This is just the beginning of getting my confidence back!”

Anne-Laure, France

“This is a great program for everybody who would like to advance the ability to speak fluently and confidently in English. 

The capstone of my expectation was to break through the inhibition of my brain… this month I pored over learning English. Part of the fun consists of an allure, what Annemarie has. This is a crucial effect. Annemarie, you grease the skids of speaking confidently in English. It was a joyous month for me.”

András, Hungary

Evgeniia, Russia

(Living in New Zealand)

“Before Fluency School, I wanted to communicate with native speakers, but I couldn’t do it confidently. I made a lot of grammatical errors when talking, in a lot of hurry, lost, confused.

But now my speech has become clearer, more measured, more correct. I enjoy speaking with natives.”

Anna, Romania

(Living in Canada)

“Before I started this course I felt stuck, nervous and shy. I was thinking how I could feel comfortable when I talked to those around me, not be nervous and be confident in myself.

Now, it’s very different because I feel confident in myself, my vocabulary is improved and I am more comfortable talking in English with people around me. I would like to thank Anne Marie for the patience you had with me, your advice and encouragement.”

Zulma, Colombia

(Living in the United States)

“I had been trying to find a course like this for years. This course is exactly what people who have reached a certain level of knowledge need to move forward improving their English skills.

I have gained confidence speaking in English, because now I have valuable tools I obtained in the course and I understand I don’t necessarily have to speak perfect English. However, I know I can improve my English skills.

Fluency School has been the best experience I’ve had learning English. Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in this wonderful community.”

I didn’t believe I would be asked to make so much online action. I didn’t expect so much interaction between me and other participants and teacher (In fact I think this interaction is the real reason of Fluency School’s success). But now I am surprised in a very pleasant way about Fluency School!

As I wrote before it really increased my speaking ability. This month I made the greatest progress since I have started to learn the English language.”

Dace, Latvia

“At the beginning, I was afraid of not following you but after our first short discussion I was relieved and I knew that this course is suitable for me. I’m glad that I joined this course, it was really helpful and I gained confidence, the more you practice the more you get.

I would like to say that it was an honor to be one of your students, you are a talented active teacher.”

Gintare, Tourism Industry Expert, Lithuania

“It’s much more than learning English and improving your skills. I’m sure there is no way to be disappointed and because Annemarie is so dedicated and because of her ability to understand each student, I think that each person can find his own path to English fluency.”

Beatriz, Transportation Expert, Spain (Living in Peru) 

“I need English for my work…  I wasn’t able to speak English in a meeting. I was afraid to speak up in English, to say something in English. So in Fluency School, I learned a lot of things. Currently, I still make mistakes speaking in English but I can speak in English. And I feel confident. And I feel can speak in English, that I can speak English in a meeting, that I can call a colleague.”

Emilia, Brazil

(Living in U.S.)

“In my opinion, Fluency School was amazing! It was different, creative and challenging! I learned so many things and more importantly, it kept me motivated during the course because you provide to us a variety of activities and I didn’t get bored. I studied a lot, I did the activities I committed to the course and I think all was really important to me accomplish more confidence to speak.

I loved the feedback on every speaking task. It was so helpful because we talk a lot but we didn’t know if the native speaker is understanding. The feedback helped me see what I need to improve. I also learned grammar, vocabulary, and got advice to speak more natural.”

“In my opinion, Fluency School is a very efficient method of teaching/learning, because the course is very well designed, the teacher supports the students all the time and she is really good. She knows how difficult it is to move to another country and to have a second language and she has excellent skills in teaching. I really appreciate and learned a lot, especially because it was my first online course.

I’ve noticed many changes in my English. First of all, I’m more confident and consequently happier. Now I know I can express myself in English and not only the Speaking Tasks, but the feedbacks Annemarie gave me were very helpful for changing the way I see myself speaking English.

My ability to communicate in English is better and there are many differences before and after Fluency School, such as changing in the way I was dealing with the situation (I was passive) and now I’ve scheduled time to study every day, I’m changing my thought pattern and I’m more positive now that I understood that I can communicate in English.

Cida, Brazil (Living in U.S.)

I have very busy life, I did not have time during the work days … I thought it would not be very effective for me and I had fears that I would not be able to improve my speaking skills. Now, my feeling is very different. I am very happy with my decision and I feel that my speaking skills in English have changed and have progress. 

I had a very good (great) experience with this course. It is worth to take time and energy in this course. It works great. I became confident in English. I had support and encouragement from Annemarie, it is valuable. Also, it is very important that I met very interesting people from different countries.”

Ana, Georgia

“The main difference of the Fluency School from all the English courses I`ve been taking before – the mentor focuses on the students and their progress. This course is organized not only to help you advance and deepen your knowledge of the English language, but it also provides a wide range of different methods and tools useful in everyday life.

This course provides a very solid and stable foundation for continuing to escalate your ability to learn English. It nurtures fearlessness and courage to speak despite grammatical mistakes or a lack of vocabulary. At the same time, it gives you the necessary skills, effective techniques, and practical proficiency to avoid and correct mistakes in the future.”

Dinara, Uzbekistan (Living in Canada)

“Starting to think English is the most important skill I have got after joining to Fluency School. It’s really useful to talk English every day.

I can use experiences I learned at Fluency School in my daily life.”

“Nothing is more important than be confident in English and this is the best way I found to be more confident.”

Catalin, Entreprenuer, Romania (Living in Australia)

“Definitely don’t postpone joining, don’t think you’re not ready for this. You are. You definitely are. You’ll meet other colleagues with the same level of your English.”

“It has been a surprise, I did not expect it would be like that, AMAZING.

I feel more confident. I take advantage of the different strategies I’ve learnt when I speak in English now. I feel that I’ve activated a lot of vocabulary and also I am able to listen to myself and detect my mistakes.

The big difference is the focus on speaking, I think that it makes the course so useful and gives total satisfaction to the student, you can feel your improvement at the end of the month. I would also highlight the personal feedback as one of the most important things that increase the quality of the course.”

Beatriz, Spain

“This course gave me the tools which I can use to create a successful conversation and was based on practice, not on theory.

I have never found so multidimensional approach to speaking (life lessons, speaking tasks, meticulous feedback, and community support).

None of my previous teachers cares about keeping a positive mindset and motivation on a high level and was so embedded in teaching.”

Anetta, Poland

Gintare, Lithuania

“I was not sure if, with an online course, I could receive personal feedback and enough attention.

My main goal was to learn how to present myself in professional situations. I loved that each of us were able to adapt speaking tasks for ourselves so we had a chance to improve in our personal situations. Each time I couldn’t wait for my personal feedback. It was so detailed and very encouraging.

I would do it again and again! I am so glad that I made this decision to participate and I am 100 % sure that each person at the end of this course can feel personal growth. It’s not a simple English language course – but it’s a possibility to meet the most wonderful teacher who will always support and encourage you. There are no proper words to describe the feelings during or at the end of the course. But I am sure that each student will discover so many things about themselves!”

Tanya, Customer Happiness Specialist, Ukraine

“Fluency School definitely helped me because I had a great practice with speaking. Especially, I loved our small group discussions. They were awesome. To be honest, I want to participate again and again.”
