Weeks 1–3 · Getting started
Openings, closings and buying time while you think.
The programs, in detail
Four programs of 8 to 12 weeks. Each one is mostly speaking, with corrections that target being understood.
Program 01 · Speak without rehearsing
Everyday English
Many adults can handle written English and freeze in a live conversation. We practice the situations that actually come up — a doctor's receptionist, a parent-teacher meeting, a neighbor on the stairs — and work on asking someone to repeat themselves without embarrassment.
Weeks 4–6 · Real situations
Appointments, schools, services, shops.
Weeks 7–9 · Listening
Fast speech, accents and asking people to slow down.
Weeks 10–12 · Longer talk
Telling a story, giving an opinion, disagreeing politely.
Weeks 1–3 · Your field
The two hundred words your job needs, drilled.
Weeks 4–6 · Speaking up
Interrupting, clarifying and holding the floor.
Weeks 7–9 · Updates
Two-minute summaries that land.
Weeks 10–12 · Difficult moments
Disagreeing, negotiating and delivering bad news.
Program 02 · Be heard in meetings
English at work
Careers stall when capable people stay quiet in meetings. We rehearse interrupting politely, giving a two-minute update, asking a question that makes you sound competent, and pushing back on an idea — all in your own field's vocabulary.
Program 03 · Clarity, not accent removal
Being understood
The goal is being understood the first time, not sounding American. We identify the handful of sounds and stress patterns that cause people to ask “sorry?”, and drill those. Your accent is part of you; nobody here will try to erase it.
Weeks 1–3 · Your sounds
The few that actually cause misunderstanding for you.
Weeks 4–6 · Word stress
Which syllable, and why it changes comprehension.
Weeks 7–8 · Rhythm
Sentence stress and the music of English.
Weeks 9–10 · Under pressure
Staying clear when you're nervous or speaking fast.
Weeks 1–2 · Structure
Subject, request, context — in that order.
Weeks 3–4 · Tone
Polite without being stiff, direct without being rude.
Weeks 5–6 · Hard emails
Chasing, declining, correcting a mistake.
Weeks 7–8 · Your phrasebank
Reusable phrasings for what you write every week.
Program 04 · Emails that sound natural
Writing at work
Written English at work is mostly about tone. Too formal reads as distant, too direct reads as rude, and textbook phrases sound odd. We work on your real emails, building a set of phrasings you can reuse for requests, follow-ups and declines.
