A French Entrepreneur Talks about Having an American Experience with Go Natural English

Hello!

Hello!

Hi!

Is this Philippe?

Yes, it is Philippe.

Hi, Philippe.

This is Gabby.

How are you?

Well, thank you very much.

I'm doing well.

And how are you?

I am doing very well, thank you.

I'm happy to be able to speak with you today.

I'm so happy.

Where are you?

Today, I'm in Paris at my office.

Tell me a little bit more about you.

What do you do?

Okay.

I run my own business and my company is specialized in the construction field, and especially

in renovation.

So, we renovate old properties, most of them run down properties.

And especially those which are classified as historical monuments.

Right.

That sounds fascinating.

It sounds really like an interesting job.

Very interesting company.

Yes, it is.

It is an interesting job.

Yes, but the problem is that our clients are French and we work with French suppliers,

and it's not easy with this job to improve English because we only speak French.

And that's why it's great for me to have some courses and to try to improve my English just

for traveling because in my own job, maybe one day it will be possible to use English

in my job.

But for time being, I'd like to use English for my own, for my leisure, especially for

traveling and I suppose English is good language for traveling.

Absolutely.

I think it's quite good thing to be able to communicate in English and... because even

if we make deals with foreigners and everyone now speaks a bit of English, so I think it's

the common language to make ourselves understood.

I agree.

It's very useful.

Let me ask you, how did you find Go Natural English?

I'm curious.

How did you... do you remember how you found the course or how you found Go Natural English?

Yes, I think it's on the internet, yes.

And what is great is your videos.

Yes.

It's... you did quite a very good job with those videos on YouTube and so it is so clear.

When you explain things, you so convincing, you so clear that of course we ready to go

further with you and to improve your English and sometimes what you say is the right place

to go.

Oh, wonderful!

That's so great!

Let me ask you, actually about the Fluent Communication course because you've been a

part of it.

Now it's halfway through the course now and I think it's a good time to check in.

How has the course been going for you?

Do you feel like you have been able to learn some things in the course?

Tell me a little bit about your experience so far with the course.

Yes, I can say that I enjoy the Monday live lesson show.

Great.

I don't know exactly the term.

But it is quite interesting and so it's... the teachers are quite clear.

They speak clearly and so we can imagine listening to this, those lessons that you make quite

a lot of progress.

Yes.

This course teaches very clear and it's very good to spend one hour with the American accent.

Is that why you chose the course with Go Natural English?

Yes, I wanted to have an American experience.

Wonderful.

And so I said...

I was looking for something from the U.S. and so as I said before, listening to your

ten tips to get fluent or, I don't know the title but there are so many interesting videos

and I thought it was very good experience to have courses with you.

One thing I wanted to suggest is that you make more use of the interactive features

in the course.

We have the recorded speaking practice which... actually I have to tell you, your speaking

is excellent.

Your accent is quite clear.

You're expressing yourself very well.

But we do have the recorded speaking practice if you have any doubts or if you want to practice.

It's quite great, yes, to use Speak Pipe.

Yes.

It's a very good way of practicing, yes.

It's...I do enjoy, yes.

The atmosphere is quite good and so it's not a problem to learn a language in your school.

What do you think about the materials?

Have you been able to watch the videos and read the guides and take the quizzes?

It sounds like you are taking the quizzes from what you say.

Ah yes, I tried to do them.

No, it's quite good exercise just to make sure you understand the grammar point.

Yes, it's so fun.

Yes.

I enjoyed doing that, yes.

Wonderful.

I give you an example what I a do enjoy.

I think it's good way of practicing a language or learning a language in general.

It's when we learn phrasal verbs.

You know, phrasal verbs is quite difficult for learners, yes?

And so the next live lesson show, we keep hearing phrasal verbs.

This is what Micah said, this is the review.

And so it's very interesting because sometimes you learn phrasal verb and you forget it one

week later.

And so you know that you learned those words and this is very good way of learning because

you keep revising that and in a situation.

No, this is quite a good way.

I think you are very good at teaching English.

Oh, thank you!

I'm so happy to hear so many good things from you about the course!

This is just making me very happy today!

It's the highlight of my morning here.

It was a very great pleasure to talk with you today.

Same here, Philippe.

I'm really happy that you're in the course and I just want to encourage you to continue

to participate and practice as much as you can.

I know you're busy, but keep engaging with us because it's really wonderful to hear from

you.

Okay, thank you very much.

Thank you, Philippe.

You have a wonderful rest of your day.

Okay.

Have a nice day as well.

Bye for now.

Bye.

Bye.
