Top 5 Confident English Lessons of 2019
Number 1: 10 Smart Words to Use at Work in English
Viewed over 1 million times on YouTube! 😲
One of the most common questions I get is how to learn and remember advanced vocabulary. That is something I wanted to help with in 2019 and this lesson was definitely the most popular. After you learn these new words, watch my lesson on how to remember new English vocabulary.
Number 2: How to Simplify Your Life — Advanced English Conversation
In 2019, students in our Advanced Conversation course discussed mindfulness, life/work balance, and how to live a more simple and joyful life. I love helping our students have in-depth conversations on topics that our community cares about.
In this lesson, I share some of the same vocabulary with you.
Number 3: Avoid the Word Very — Use the Words Native Speakers Use Instead
One common mistake I often hear is using the word ‘very’ too much.
For example: very fun, very interesting, very hard, very little, etc.
Native speakers don’t like to use the same word again and again and again. Instead, we like variety with a mix of simple and advanced vocabulary. In this lesson, I teach you how to do that.
Number 4: Sound More Fluent and Speak Faster
Many of my students feel that they speak too slowly in English.
In this lesson, I share 1 simple tip that will help you sound faster and more natural in your English. You’ll also sound more fluent and this tip will help you understand native speakers too!
Number 5: What to Say When Someone is Rude in English
Has anyone been rude to you in English and you felt totally stuck? You had no idea what to say?
In this lesson, I share how to respond to negative, rude comments with politeness. At Speak Confident English, we believe that kindness always wins.
Get 4 strategies to be assertive and clear in your response, but still be kind.
