It doesn't matter how much you KNOW ABOUT the English grammar or how many times you sat down to finally "learn" grammar. Maybe you took "grammar courses"... They're absolutely useless because they take you on a mindless journey from Unit 1 to Unit 10 regardless of whether you need "the third conditional" today ... or ever.

We need grammar to communicate with clarity, help people hear our message, influence the room, sound assertive and powerful, & feel confident.

It's impossible to "learn the English grammar" in one online course. By the time you get to Unit 10, you have forgotten what Unit 1 was about. There's no application of knowledge in YOUR daily situations. There's endless accumulation of knowledge and little to no understanding of how to use it.

If you are ready to learn more about English in English (no translation! no simplification!) You're capable. You don't need anyone to "dumb it down" for you in your language. You will literally fly as soon as you let go of your need to understand everything about English in YOUR language. You can't. You just can't understand it in your language. English is different. Learn to FEEL the difference.

Learn to make decisions. I created decision-making protocols to help learners make good decisions in spontaneous speech.

We will start a new practice routine together on Aug 25. I will show you how to use specific protocols to make decisions relative to:

- The use of tenses
- The use of articles
- The use of Conditional Sentences
- Sentence Structure
- Using the right words together to create clarity (e.g. "careful with money" or "careful about money"? The meaning is different)

EVERYONE can join.

❌ It's not an online course.
❌It's not a boring grammar class
❌ It's not about the English language

βœ… It's about YOUR speech
βœ… It's a practice to elevate your skills and help you become more fluent and free in English.

You're capable, talented, strong, and ambitious. Use your power to change how you communicate and express yourself in English.

This routine will take 3 months.
Daily insights.
Weekly results.

Pricing is simple:

3 months of community membership. You must be a member to join (only $69/mo). If you're not a member yet and you'd like to join, you will need to pay for 3 months upfront.

You will receive feedback if you do the exercises. You can ask as many questions as you want.

You can also UPGRADE and get feedback on your personal situations, your emails, speeches, etc in a private chat. An UPGRADE also means you will have 1:1 calls to help you REALLY understand things and give your situation the attention it deserves.

One 1:1 call every other week (6 calls) and unlimited feedback after in the same chat if you remain a member: $1320

One 1:1 call each month (3 calls) and unlimited feedback after in the same chat if you remain a member: $780

Comment "I'm in" to join the practice. The number of spaces will be limited so I can give all my attention to the people who practice.

Every exercise will get you POINTS. You can exchage them for $$$ and get a free month or 1:1 coaching.
Here is what I mean by POINTs. The new layout is finally ready!!!

ONE completed exercise = ONE point.

Move from Novice to Legend. You can support other people by liking their work. To show that you did an exercise, leave a comment. If someone's comment helped you in your practice, give them a like so they can get more points.

You get POINTs for completed exercises ONLY.

You can get them in these spaces:

- Sunday Practice Replays: do the exercise that I give at the end of every session
- Creative Exercises
- #iWantFeedback: bring your real-life situations or the exercises from the Library
- Exercises for busy days
- The Synchronization Exercise
- Grammar Tools
- The American Accent: the comments that you leave under relevant replays to show your work
- Real-Time video lessons
- Creative Writing + Self-correction
Have a good night 😁😁😁

A poem by Mary Oliver, from the book "A thousand mornings". The book is in the community library. Type the word "POEMS" in the seach bar, and you'll find it.

This is my accent practice for today. Took me 10 min.

What I LOVE is that it took me only 2 minutes to choose WHAT to read and what to do. That's what the community is for. You have access to the best exercises and resources, and they ALL will take you where you need to be.

This poem is great for me because I need to practice:
- melody
- breath
- the [u] in "understood"
- the short "a" in "exactly"
- the short "e" in "revelations" and "said"
- the [ai] in "my", "myself", "high"
- the [au] in β€œmountains” (the word needs more work. I can hear that)


You will know exactly what to practice and where to find what you need too! Join the American Accent Training and let's improve how we sound together!
Don’t sell me an online course because this is all you have to offer.

Don't talk to me. I'd rather you talk less and say more.

You will know what to say if you care to listen.

The online learning culture is telling us to create more landing pages with "4-step formulas for instant success and higher paycheck". The success of a formula is measured by the number of sales, and not the number of people who successfully implemented it after the sale.

I want to see more educators who help you get faster results by pointing out the best thing for YOU to do in YOUR situation. You might need only step 2 of a "5-step formula". For example, I'd rather do less and get the results that I need than do a lot of unnecessary steps and feel confused, or worse, guilty for not doing all of them.

People are not dumb. They are very capable. Let's remember that.

If we try to listen louder than our own thoughts and listen beyond the lines of our sales script ... we can help people with any or without any digital products.
We learn from people, not from blueprints. We buy from people, and every salesman's primary job is to meet the demand for human relationship, not for their product.
