I like it, because it helped to learn the English language

Hello everyone! I am Georgiana, founder of . My mission is to help you speak English fluently. This week is a bit special because it is Black Friday and all my courses have a 60% discount. I've received several messages with&nbsp;questions about the courses. In this short episode I'm gonna try to answer some frequently asked questions. By the way, you can get the deal at:  Hurry up because the offer is only available until this Sunday at 12p.m. Let’s start with the most frequently asked question: What is the difference between the podcast and the courses? That's a great question! In the podcast, I talk about very diverse topics that allow you to improve your vocabulary. This is great listening practice.&nbsp; In each episode of the podcast, I also give a small example of a lesson. This can be a mini-story of questions and answers or a point of view. Because of time limitations, I can barely develop these lessons, yet they allow you to test the method in an easy and fun way. Besides, it is good practice. Instead, the courses are complete programs designed to improve your spoken English dramatically.&nbsp; In fact, the courses contain hours and hours of questions and answers. Imagine for a moment a podcast episode but multiplied by 100. Also, the courses allow you to work much better on grammar aspects such as the plural, singular, all kinds of verb tenses, and certain common expressions of English. All this in an integrated way following one or several stories that offer a rich and entertaining context. For example, the  contains more than 8 hours of audio with thousands of questions and answers (mini-stories) and almost 200 pages of transcription text. Of course, there are also many points of view lessons that allow you to work very deeply on aspects of grammar.One rule I always follow is to create lessons with complex characters and funny stories, with an unexpected ending. That way you'll never forget what you learn best and, of course, it's a lot more fun. &nbsp; Another question: Can the courses be used on the iPhone, iPad, Android and so on? Yes, of course. You can use them without problems. An important thing to keep in mind is that the courses are not apps. That is, you don't install them. It's much more flexible. The courses consist of mp3 audio and text (PDF). This is much simpler and prevents technical problems. Transferring the content to any device is quite easy. However, when you buy one of the courses, I send you instructions with detailed steps to know what to do. In any case, you can contact me by e-mail for any questions. Is there a monthly payment for the courses? No, there is no such thing. When you buy the courses they are yours for personal use and forever. How many  are there, and&nbsp;what is the difference? There are currently 4 courses. I will describe them briefly: 1)  (level1): This course is for beginners with no knowledge of English. It is a course that works very well, and I am happy with the result because it helps a lot to start with English. In your case, I don't recommend it because if you are a follower of this podcast, you are no longer a beginner. 2)  (level2):&nbsp; The level of this course is a bit easier than this podcast, but there is almost no difference. This program will help you automate the most common structures when speaking. It consists of 20 units with 20 unique and fun stories. For example, two penguins who escape from the zoo to surf, a person who wants to learn to be a cook but is a disaster, someone who wants to quit smoking and visits a very strange guru, and so on. I recommend this course if you're trying to stop mentally translating when you speak English, even with relatively easy expressions.&nbsp; 3)  (level3): This course is very ambitious because it goes one step beyond the Fluency Course. The aim is to practice all the verb tenses in the context of a long and well-developed story. There is a lot of vocabulary and grammar points are very useful. When you...

BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL — FAQ PREMIUM COURSES VS. PODCAST

Transcript:

Hi everyone!

I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

I’m extremely excited because you’re listening to my first episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

To be honest, I’m aware that there are many podcasts about learning English, so, maybe you’re asking yourself right now, what’s different about this podcast?

Well, that’s a fair question.

There are many areas in English you can improve, but my main focus, my mission, is to help you SPEAK English fluently.

I’d like to repeat that: My mission is to help you SPEAK English fluently.

If you need to improve other areas, like writing or formal grammar, I suggest you find another content, but…If you truly want to get  better at speaking, this is your podcast.

SPN 001: First Episode

I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In this episode:

I’ll talk about why is the American accent so different from the British accent.
After that, I’ll use the Question and Answer technique for helping you develop your speaking skills.
Let’s get started!

In the eighteenth century, American and British pronunciations were pretty similar. Remember that the British Empire colonized America. Many immigrants traveled to America to start a new life.

So, a fair question is:

Why is American and British pronunciation so different nowadays?

Well, there are many theories, but here’s a reasonable one:

It’s the standard British accent that has radically changed in the past two centuries.

Why do Americans and British have different accents

Hi everyone!

I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In this episode:

I will be talking about how many times we have to repeat an audio.
After that, we’ll practice conversation skills with a new mini-story.
Let’s get started!

As you may know, I always recommend you listening for improving your English. There are many studies, which suggest that there is a correlation between our level of the language and the hours we have been listening. In other words, the more you listen, the better. The more hours you spend listening, the more quickly you improve.

Here’s an interesting question you might ask: “How many times do I have to listen to every piece of content?” Do I have to listen just one time? Or more than one time?

What most students do is listen to certain content once or twice and then change to another content. The typical student thinks that the more variety, the better.

Well, variety is good, but what you want is to consolidate what you listen, and the most effective way to achieve it, is through repetition.

The Importance Of Repeated Listening

Hi everyone!

I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In this episode:

I will show you one of the best ways to practice your English in your city.
After that, I will read to you a short story to help you with your speaking skills. You’ll see how fun it is to practice with this audio.
Ok, let’s get started.

Imagine for a moment that I can show you the perfect activity for practicing your English by listening and speaking, meeting interesting people, learning interesting topics…and developing your public speaking skills .

All of this in your own city.

Sounds interesting huh? Well, if you live in a city, chances are that you can find the perfect place for that. It’s called Toastmasters.

Toastmasters an excellent to practice your speaking

Hi everyone! I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In this episode:

I’ll be talking about passive listening, or in other words, listening in the background.
After that, we’ll practice conversation skills with the powerful Question & Answer technique.
Ok, let’s get started!

In the language industry, there’s an appealing approach called the passive listening. This means playing some English in the background while performing other tasks. In theory, you’re learning because the brain is always learning, no matter how.

Interesting, huh? You just need to play some English while you’re cleaning, writing, surfing the Internet, etc.

Well, although this approach may be appealing to many of you, here’s the bad news: It doesn’t work as a whole system for developing a complete fluency in English.

The main drawback is that when we need to learn new content, our brain needs to pay attention, to be active.

So, in an ideal world, we would be 100% focused all the time while listening: We’d pay attention to every tiny detail: vocabulary, pronunciation, intonation, etc.
