- Have you ever spoken in English
0
120
2536
00:02
and had someone ask you this question?
1
2656
3524
00:06
How long have you been learning English?
2
6180
3150
00:09
This question shows so much.
3
9330
2340
00:11
They're not asking how long have you
4
11670
1590
00:13
been speaking English,
5
13260
1530
00:14
they're asking how long have you been learning.
6
14790
3231
00:18
They know that you are actively in the learning process.
7
18021
3039
00:21
How can we make the move to this question?
8
21060
2455
00:23
Wow, how long have you lived in England?
9
23515
3695
00:27
Or wow, how long have you lived
10
27210
2130
00:29
in an English speaking country?
11
29340
1710
00:31
What would it take to make them ask
12
31050
2430
00:33
the magical three word question,
13
33480
2709
00:36
are you English?
14
36189
1971
00:38
Are you a native speaker?
15
38160
1890
00:40
Can that even be achieved?
16
40050
1902
00:41
In this video I'm going to show you
17
41952
1998
00:43
how you can move through these questions.
18
43950
3000
00:46
These three questions show a progression of learning.
19
46950
4080
00:51
I want to ask you a question.
20
51030
1800
00:52
Does any of this sound familiar?
21
52830
2220
00:55
You can understand my lessons,
22
55050
2009
00:57
but you can't understand native speakers
23
57059
2396
00:59
when they talk fast,
24
59455
1985
01:01
or when they have fast conversations
25
61440
2310
01:03
you can't follow along.
26
63750
1200
01:04
You can understand TV shows and films,
27
64950
2587
01:07
but you miss you on jokes
28
67537
2423
01:09
and hidden meanings.
29
69960
1470
01:11
You can have conversations in English,
30
71430
2393
01:13
but you still don't feel 100% comfortable or confident,
31
73823
5000
01:19
and maybe you walk away from conversations
32
79290
3309
01:22
feeling exhausted.
33
82599
2721
01:25
It's so tiring to think and speak in English,
34
85320
3000
01:28
it doesn't come naturally yet.
35
88320
1770
01:30
And, lastly, your current English level
36
90090
2686
01:32
prevents you from showing your true personality,
37
92776
3824
01:36
and your true intelligence.
38
96600
1587
01:38
You feel like it's hiding behind that language barrier.
39
98187
3273
01:41
Did you say yes to any of those?
40
101460
2108
01:43
Well, you're in the right place
41
103568

Let me present to you
51
128070
1220
02:09
The Beautiful British English B2 Programme.
52

64
166821
2582
02:49
Why?
65
169403
1095
02:50
Well, it's the level that allows you to feel comfortable,
66
170498
3633
02:54
and confident.
67
174131
1969
02:56
It's the level that allows you to really start to integrate
68
176100
3287
02:59
into English speaking groups.
69
179387
2578
03:01

4845
03:06
With my help you can absolutely achieve the B2 level
71
186810
4350
03:11
of English.
72
191160
833
03:11
Right now in this very moment
73
191993
1638
03:13
you have a fair understanding of English grammar.
74
193631
3811
03:17
You've studied a lot of the tenses,
75
197442
2234
03:19
you know a good amount of vocabulary.
76
199676
3454
03:23
This programme takes that to the next level.
77
203130
3772
03:26
How?
78
206902
842
03:27
There are five key points.
79
207744
2106
03:29
Let's start with grammar.
80
209850
2250
03:32
We cover all B2 grammar in this course,
81
212100
2650
03:34
with clear visual lessons,
82
214750
3080
03:37
and lots and lots of practise exercises.
83
217830
3570
03:41
You will take over 20 grammar video lessons,
84
221400
3500
03:44
with many focusing on correcting
85
224900
3370
03:48
common mistakes,
86
228270
1410
03:49
and using English grammar like a native,
87
229680
2730
03:52
the way native speakers genuinely speak.
88
232410
2850
03:55
Then we have the vocabulary lessons.
89
235260
3284
03:58
In this programme we focus on real British English
90
238544
3755
04:02
that native speakers genuinely use.
91
242299
3207
04:05
There is so much vocabulary throughout this course,
92
245506
3974
04:09
including weekly idioms
93
249480
2250
04:11
and phrasal verb video lessons.
94
251730
2700
04:14
Number three,
95
254430
930
04:15
and here's where it starts to get really interesting,
96
255360
3210
04:18
and really unique, pronunciation from day one.
97
258570
3930
04:22
I specialise in pronunciation.
98
262500
2700
04:25
I don't like courses that just focus on grammar
99
265200
3390
04:28
and vocabulary and that's it.
100
268590
1803
04:31
I really think you need pronunciation,
101
271273
1757
04:33
and you need it to be integrated throughout
102
273030
2110
04:35
your entire learning journey,
103
275140
2240
04:37
so I have integrated pronunciation
104
277380
2700
04:40
throughout my entire course.
105
280080
1860
04:41
You will eliminate bad habits,
106
281940
1884
04:43
and form good habits from day one.
107
283824
2981
04:46
So many students receive bad pronunciation
108
286805
3355
04:50
education in their formative years
109
290160
2370
04:52
of learning English.
110
292530
1020
04:53
And this leaves them with bad habits
111
293550
1740
04:55
that are difficult to unlearn.
112
295290
2310
04:57
In my classes we break those bad habits,
113
297600
1989
04:59
we focus on clear, correct pronunciation,
114
299589
4191
05:03
this way you can speak clearly,
115
303780
1661
05:05
and be understood by native speakers.
116
305441
2623
05:08
I can even guide you to speak like a native
117
308064
3336
05:11
if that's truly your goal.
118
311400
1710
05:13
Number four.
119
313110
1097
05:14
This one is major.
120
314207
2983
05:17
Real conversation analysis.
121
317190
2533
05:19
Each week in the 12 week programme
122
319723
3064
05:22
we analyse an interesting conversation
123
322787
2690
05:25
with an important person in my life.
124
325477
2693
05:28
No scripted fake conversations.
125
328170
2548
05:30
I want you to see how we genuinely converse.
126
330718
3932
05:34
We analyse these conversations,
127
334650
1650
05:36
and we break them down.
128
336300
1590
05:37
We look at the grammar rules
129
337890
1371
05:39
that the speakers use or don't use.
130
339261
2786
05:42
We discuss the pronunciation rules
131
342047
2653
05:44
they follow or don't follow.
132
344700
2370
05:47
We breakdown their vocabulary in spoken English
133
347070
3300
05:50
so that you understand 100% of what they say,
134
350370
2964
05:53
and 100% of their implied meaning.
135
353334
4716
05:58
That is what often causes confusion.
136
358050
2310
06:00
This conversation analysis technique
137
360360
2310
06:02
allows you to move from school book English
138
362670
2875
06:05
to native-level English fast.
139
365545
3125
06:08
And that brings me on to number five,
140
368670
2100
06:10
feedback and community.
141
370770
2027

153
403920
2244
06:46
from our previous course students.

2867
06:49

409031

411346
2028

157

changed their life for the better.
