The Confident Women Community
Does any of this sound familiar to you?
“Understanding English is easy, but saying the right thing in the moment feels impossible.”
“I’ve tried so hard, but I still freeze up when I have an important conversation.”
“Sharing ideas at work feels scary because I’m not sure my English is good enough.”
“I’ve missed opportunies because speaking up feels too hard.”
“I overthink every word. So I just stay quiet most of the time, especially in groups where I feel overwhelmed.”
“Feeling confident in meetings or interviews seems so far away because I don’t know how to begin.”
“It feels like my English doesn’t show the real me.”
“In my head, my English feels perfect, but when I try to speak, everything comes out wrong.”
“I don’t know how to practice or where to start. I’m lost.”
If you’re thinking: “Yes, this is me!” You’re not alone.
This is what I’m hearing every day in my emails, DMs, comments, and conversations.
Inside the Confident Women Community
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Every woman in the Confident Women Community has been where you are — feeling frustrated, stuck, and unsure of how to move forward, especially if you’re naturally shy or introverted.
The Confident Women Community is a safe, supportive space where women like you gain the tools, practice, and encouragement to thrive in English conversations — with fluency and confidence.
What If One Community Could Transform the Way You Speak English Forever?
Imagine speaking up at work, traveling with ease, or enjoying conversations without fear — even if you’re naturally reserved or find social interactions draining.
I created the Confident Women Community because I’ve seen too many smart, ambitious women holding themselves back in English. They feel stuck, hesitant to speak, afraid of mistakes, or frustrated that their English doesn’t match their personality or intelligence.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
I’m Annemarie. I’ve spent more than 20 years helping women around the world find their voices in English. And I know one thing for certain:
Confidence doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from showing up, practicing, and growing with support.
It’s about having the right tools, the right guidance, and the right people by your side.
That’s why I built this community: to give you a safe, supportive space where you can build fluency, learn the vocabulary English speakers use, and discover unshakable confidence — one conversation at a time.
FEATURED IN
Since you’re here, I’m guessing…
You’ve spent years watching YouTube videos, downloading apps, studying phrasal verbs, and listening to English podcasts. You’re doing all the right things to improve your English, but something’s still missing.
- Maybe you’re tired of holding back in conversations because you’re afraid of making mistakes.
- Maybe you know that better English could open up new opportunities, but the thought of speaking in front of others feels overwhelming.
And yet, even on the hard days, you don’t give up. That’s not who you are. You’re passionate, capable, and determined to reach your goals. You just know there has to be a better way.
I’ve been there, too. In my second language, I studied for years — putting in the effort, staying focused, and staying determined. But when it came to speaking, I still felt stuck, embarrassed, unsure, and frustrated.
So, I decided to put my expertise as an English teacher to work. I discovered how to unlock fluency, confidence, and progress by going beyond traditional methods. I realized I needed more than textbooks and grammar drills. I needed real practice in a safe, supportive space.
This community is everything I wish I had when learning my second language.
I know you’ve already accomplished so much, but now it’s time for more — more fluency, freedom, confidence, and joy in English.
That’s why I’m inviting you to join something truly special.

What is hesitation costing you?
You’ve probably tried self-study, online apps, or endless grammar drills. Maybe you’ve:
- Memorized vocabulary lists but still feel stuck when it’s time to use them in real conversations.
- Watched countless YouTube videos, but nothing seems to stick.
- Avoided speaking up in meetings or social situations because you’re afraid of making mistakes.
- Hesitated to take action, telling yourself, “Maybe I’ll feel ready next month.”
But the truth is, waiting won’t make it easier.
Every time you hold back in a conversation, you miss the chance to express your ideas, connect with others, or say yes to new opportunities.
The good news? You don’t have to do this alone.
The Confident Women Community is designed to help you stop hesitating and start thriving in English conversations.
“I’ve been part of CWC for a whole year. I’m brushing up my English skills, which was the main reason for joining this community, there is a tremendous amount of kindness and respect that can be breathed and lived, and I couldn’t be happier for having made the decision to join this fantastic community.”

Can you dedicate time to practice regularly, knowing that small, consistent steps lead to big progress?

You’re seeking a step-by-step program to master fluency skills such as clarity, flow, rhythm, and spontaneity. (Fluency School is perfect for that!)
You’re not ready to invest time and effort into improving your English.
You’re okay with waiting and hoping your English improves someday.
Ultimately, this is more than just learning English. It’s about using English to create meaningful connections, unlock new opportunities, and discover a more confident version of yourself.

What’s Your English Confidence Worth to You?
Imagine this:
- You confidently speak up in meetings, sharing your ideas without hesitation or second-guessing yourself.
- At social events, you join conversations effortlessly, connecting with others without worrying about mistakes.
- When you travel, you feel completely at ease asking questions, sharing stories, and navigating new experiences.
- You’re no longer held back by fear or frustration, but instead feel empowered and ready to say yes to opportunities in English.
How would it feel to finally express your personality and intelligence in English conversations, without feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious?
The truth is, every moment you wait to build this confidence, you’re missing opportunities to:
- Forge deeper connections with colleagues, friends, and loved ones.
- Advance your career, lead discussions, and land promotions.
- Explore the world and fully enjoy the experiences it offers.
What would all of this be worth to you? $4,000? $7,000? More?
Your investment in the Confident Women Community doesn’t come anywhere close to that.
“I love the safe space we built to talk about everything. Also the opportunity to meet women around the world and understand that I am not alone in this awesome journey.”
“What I love most about the CWC is the warm and comfortable English learning environment. Since joining, I am now willing to challenge myself more to present in large group meetings.
The CWC not only helps us build confidence in speaking English but also lots of life-long friendships and wisdom.”
“Though it is meant for learning English speaking, it’s far beyond it, with a loving feeling of having budding connections with many fantastic ladies around the world, with amazing ideas, where we could break through the limits of boundaries.”
Join a Community That Lifts You Up and Helps You Succeed
You’ve likely tried learning alone — online courses, grammar apps, or self-study. And while those can help you build knowledge, they don’t address the real challenges: the fear of speaking, the hesitation to join conversations, and the frustration of not being understood.
Confidence in English isn’t about memorizing rules or completing endless exercises. It’s about practicing with others, learning to express yourself naturally, and building fluency through real-life experiences.
Bottom line: confidence doesn’t grow in isolation.
In the Confident Women Community, you’ll join a supportive group of professional, ambitious women who understand your struggles and share your drive to succeed. Together, we’ll:
- Replace fear and frustration with confidence and ease.
- Build meaningful relationships with women from around the world.
- Practice real conversations in a safe, supportive environment where you can grow.
- Turn your ‘someday’ dreams of fluency into reality today.
This isn’t just about learning English. It’s about creating connections, gaining confidence, and sharing your voice.
We believe in you, and we’re here to help you win.
Let’s make sure you’re ready to share the unique voice and perspective only you can offer the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can join the CWC?
The Confident Women Community (CWC) is a safe space designed exclusively for women from around the world with an Intermediate (B1) to Proficient (C2) level of English and is open to anyone identifying as a woman.
That doesn’t mean you don’t feel shy or nervous when you speak. Our goal is to help you overcome those challenges inside the community.
Furthermore, women who join must be 18 years or older.
Why is this for women only?
The English confidence journey can be challenging for anyone. Period.
At Speak Confident English, our courses — including Fluency School and Confident Job Interviews — are open to men and women.
With the Confident Women Community, we’ve created a women-only space that serves the SCE mission to empower every woman to get the confidence she wants for her life and work in English — no matter where she was born, where she lives now, or how shy or stuck she feels.
Furthermore, this community creates deeper connections through shared interests and provides more opportunities to women who may feel intimidated by or uncomfortable with men in the classroom/community.
What is it like to be a New Member?
When you join as a New Member, you’ll immediately start learning with us.
You’ll also have access to our New Member Welcome Steps. Following these steps will help you get familiar with the community fast.
The first live event every new member joins is our New Member Welcome.
This is an important step to unlock access to our practice activities and live workshops.
We ask every New Member to complete this step so we can verify their identity. We are proud of how safe and supportive our community is. This important new member step helps us protect all our members, maintaining a safe community for English-speaking practice.
After you join a New Member Welcome event, you’ll immediately unlock our practice and workshop opportunities.
How much time do I need to participate?
The CWC is designed to fit your schedule. You can attend live workshops and discussions, work with a speaking partner, or use our study guides at your own pace. The more you participate, the more progress you’ll see — but even small steps can lead to big changes.
What’s included in my membership?
Your membership includes access to live workshops, speaking partners, study guides, progress trackers, and our supportive community of women from around the world. You’ll also have direct support from Annemarie and her team of expert fluency coaches.
When are the workshops? What if I can't join?
The greatest benefit of the Confident Women Community is the opportunity to connect with other women and practice together.
That can happen in two ways:
1. Speaking Partners. We will help match you with an ideal conversation partner or group based on your English level, time zone, availability, and interests. This means you can create a successful meeting schedule and practice regularly.
2. Live Workshops/Discussions. Inside our workshops, we do large and small group activities. In small group work, you’ll meet other women and make connections that may develop into strong friendships. You’ll also receive guidance from our SCE Fluency Coaches.
We offer a variety of workshops at different times to accommodate time zones around the world.
All of our live workshops with Fluency Coaches, the Community Support Team, and Annemarie happen on Zoom.
The workshop times may change monthly to best suit our community.
👉 All workshops hosted by SCE Team members are recorded. If you are unable to join, you can watch the recorded session and still learn.
Events hosted by members may take place on Zoom or Google Meet.
Like a group class at a gym or yoga studio, our workshops are open to all members.
Will I Get Feedback
The Confident Women Community is a group learning experience with multiple opportunities to practice speaking with other women.
In this group learning environment, there are two ways to get feedback — from our Fluency Coaches and through other members of the Confident Women Community.
Our Fluency Coaches provide support and guidance on your English journey.
Rather than use traditional classroom teaching methods, our Confident Women Community helps you use what you already know in English and empowers you to create a learning practice that best suits you and your lifestyle.
Our Fluency Coaches host workshops and activities that help you improve accuracy and develop your English communication skills.
When you join a workshop or complete an activity, you will receive support and feedback to guide you forward. You can also learn from others who practice with you and receive feedback.
Even better, you can receive feedback from members inside the Confident Women Community.
You’ll be with women from around the world who share your English goals — including women with many years of learning and practice.
In group workshops and with your speaking partners, you’ll receive feedback through your communication. This happens through natural conversation, requests for clarification, and discussions on what each of you has learned.
Please note that if you are looking for 1:1 instruction or private classes, the Confident Women Community may not be the best fit for you.
What if I’m nervous about speaking?
You’re not alone. Many of our members felt the same way when they joined. That’s why our workshops and conversations are designed to feel safe and supportive, giving you the chance to grow at your own pace.
You can also join workshops and just listen if you don’t feel ready to participate (although we think you’ll want to right away!).
Is the CWC for beginner English speakers?
The CWC is ideal for intermediate to advanced English speakers (B1-C1 levels) who want to build confidence and fluency in real conversations.
If you’re not sure of your level, please use our self-assessment.
How is this different from Fluency School?
The Confident Women Community (CWC) and Fluency School (FS) are designed to meet different needs on your English fluency journey. Many of our students benefit from both.
- Fluency School is an intensive, 8-week program aimed at providing rapid progress in a short time. It’s structured around specific modules, live workshops, and small group practice sessions, perfect for those seeking a focused, high-impact learning experience. Fluency School provides everything you need to make significant strides in a relatively short period.
- The Confident Women Community, on the other hand, is a flexible, ongoing membership where you can build fluency, practice speaking, and gain confidence over time. With monthly learning roadmaps, live workshops, and conversation meet-ups, it’s designed for women to continue practicing in a relaxed, supportive environment. There’s no rush or pressure, making it ideal for maintaining steady progress.
How They Work Together:
Many Fluency School graduates choose to join the Confident Women Community to maintain their fluency, continue practicing real-life conversations, and build on the progress they’ve made in Fluency School. The community offers a space to keep up their skills in a flexible, ongoing environment.
Key Differences:
- Time Frame: Fluency School is an 8-week program with set learning goals, while the CWC offers ongoing practice year-round.
- Structured vs. Flexible: Fluency School is structured, while the CWC allows you to participate at your own pace.
- Women-Only: Fluency School is open to both men and women, whereas the CWC is a women-only space.
In summary, if you’re looking for intensive learning and rapid progress, Fluency School is a great fit.
And if you want a long-term space to continue practicing and building confidence through real conversations, the Confident Women Community offers the support and flexibility you need.
“This is a community of intelligent, motivated women who are always ready to help you on your growth path in improving your English.
It’s a welcoming place where you can always learn new things at your own pace and without deadlines.
What I love most about the CWC is that it’s a safe place where you can laugh, play, joke, and talk about very serious and profound topics and grow both inwardly and in your English and every time I enter here I find something that manages to amaze, surprise and fascinate me.
I think I have never given myself a better gift!”
