Get a short new lesson every day for 30 days. You'll need around 20 minutes a day.
I explain everything you need to know in detail. You can watch my videos or read the explanations.
Exercises, PDFs, reviews. You'll know 150 collocations and be able to use them easily by the end of the challenge.
I remember once, when I was studying French at university, my French professor said to me, "your writing is all correct, but it just doesn't sound French! I can't give you a good mark."
I was really shocked! I'd tried hard to get everything correct. But my choice of words in French just wasn't natural and I didn't know how to fix the problem.
Later, when I was studying linguistics at Cambridge (where I focused on the psychology of how adults learn foreign languages), I found the answer!
The answer was collocations.
Even though I'm fully bilingual, English is my second language, and each 30-day challenge really helps to discover language finesses that only a native speaker can teach. I've noticed an improvement in my everyday communication.
The collocations are really useful and surely will come in handy in the future. I enjoy learning them and I won't forget them as there are loads of exercises and flashcards inside the course. Collocations are useful in both spoken English and written English. I really have learnt a lot!
In my considered opinion, this course was absolutely a wise choice! :) I'm a firm believer in your method as I really use most of these collocations! I'm sure this course won't be the last one I ordered from you. Highly effective, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
A collocation is a group of words that often go together, like 'make a mistake' or 'heavy rain' or 'a slim book' or 'solve a problem'.
If you translate each word from your language, it's easy to say something like 'do a mistake' or 'big rain' or 'a thin book' or 'improve a problem'.
All of these are grammatically correct! But they're not what native English speakers say.
Very useful collocations for everyday communication, very effective way to master them (revision + flashcards). I have been using a lot of collocations I have learned in my conversations.
I liked the explanation, the exercises and the flashcard are very useful. I suddenly realized that I was using some collocations when I spoke with a friend.
It is a fantastic method to learn. I hadn't any problems remembering new vocabulary. It is easier for me to speak English. I wished there were a lot more vocabulary courses like this one.
The perfect challenge for upper-intermediate and advanced learners who want to sound natural and sophisticated in English.
You'll learn how to:
Short lessons, easy to keep up with, and a new set of them. I had a conversation with a Filipino friend and she told me I'm sounding more natural... I felt very confident.
I liked the amount of new expressions that we learned every day. Also, the expressions are quite popular and could be used on a daily basis. My speech is more colorful now.
I have learned 150 new collocations and through the course, I was able to hone my writing and speaking skills! I love that challenge! 100% recommendation!!!
