- Hello, lovely students
and welcome back to English with Lucy.
Today, I am going to tell you
how to speak English fluently
and how to speak it with confidence.
Most of you follow me
because you want to speak beautiful British English
and you want to speak it confidently
and fluently.
You want a wide vocabulary, correct grammar
and good clear pronunciation.
Some of you even have the ultimate goal
of speaking like a native,
but what is stopping you from getting there?
Let me tell you something.
When I moved to Spain,
two years after starting proper Spanish classes,
people sometimes asked me if I was a native speaker.
For me this was the ultimate compliment.
But before that, I also tried to learn French
and I failed.
I took French lessons for five years at school
and I hardly learned anything.
Recently, I visited a French speaking country
and I couldn't communicate at all,
it was embarrassing.
These two very different experiences
give me an interesting perspective.
I have personal experience
of what it takes to become totally fluent,
living my life happily in another language.
I also have personal experience
of what it's like to study really hard
and make no significant progress.
When I became fluent in Spanish,
I did three things differently.
One, I chose a teacher I liked.
I loved the way she spoke.
I loved the way she explained things.
Learning with her was exciting.
Two, I focused on pronunciation from day one.
I learned to pronounce words like a native
before I learned to use grammar like a native.
This might sound crazy,
but it works.
I could pronounce the basics beautifully
before I could form complex sentences.
And number three, I made Spanish my priority.
I did intensive courses,
I tried to think in Spanish,
I tried to interact with Spanish people.
I virtually immersed myself in Spanish.
Drawing from these two contrasting experiences
and my eight years of teaching English,
I have created a brand new programme
that will train you to reach an intermediate level
of English in the same way.
Let me ask you a question,
does any of this sound familiar?
You can understand my lessons,
but you can't understand native speakers,
when they talk fast.
You can't understand TV shows
or movies without subtitles.
You feel nervous
or embarrassed to respond
when someone asks you a question in English.
You can talk about a few common topics
but you can't enjoy deeper conversations.
And finally, possibly the most important one,
you feel that your level of English
prevents you from showing your true personality
and your true intelligence.
You know what you want to say in your head,
you just can't express it.
Did you answer yes to any of these?
Well you are in the right place
because I've created a solution for you.
Let me present to you,
the Beautiful British English B1 Programme.
Yes, we are focusing on B1,
intermediate English for our first programme.
The Beautiful British English B1 Programme
is a 12 week, 12 module programme
designed to take you from pre-intermediate
to intermediate English.
Let's take a look at my methodology
and why my programmes work.
We have three core elements.
Number one, pronunciation from day one.
In my lessons, pronunciation is woven through,
it is fully integrated into the course.
When you learn English with me,
I make pronunciation your priority.
Why?
It makes you feel confident
and ready to speak.
You break bad habits
and learn good habits from the very beginning.
Number two, we build strong foundations first.
You can't build a beautiful lifelong home
without strong foundations.
Treat English the same way.
First you master the essentials in grammar
and vocabulary
with clear visual explanations,
lots of exercises
and lots of support and practise.
And number three,
Real British English,
with your strong English foundations in place
and your early pronunciation advantage,
you are ready to start the fun part.
I speak to you as I speak to my friends,
I teach you real British English.
This part of my methodology takes you from
"How long have you been learning English?"
to "Wow, how long have you been living in England?"
Some students, if they really want this
can achieve the magical three word question.
"Are you English?"
So those are the three core pillars of my methodology
but what's in the Beautiful British English B1 Programme?
This is a 12 week, 12 module programme.
We have three lesson concepts,
in three different colours to boost your memory.
The pink lessons are pronunciation,
the blue lessons are grammar
and the yellow lessons are vocabulary.
Colours might not matter to you,
I think they really help.
I like to know exactly where I am in a course.
These are self-study lessons,
you have downloadable PDF mindmaps,
so you can revise
and visualise more complex vocabulary
and grammar topics.
In this programme, we really focus on exercises,
transcription exercises, listening tests,
reading comprehension, gap-fill texts,
grammar quizzes, spelling tests,
put everything you've learned into practise
and retain it in your memory.
We also have pronunciation exercises,
so you can speak clearly and be understood.
You have weekly speaking
and writing homework with personal teacher feedback
if you opt for the VIP feedback package.
Everyone gets 16 weeks access
to the private course community.
This is where you can connect to like-minded learners
and stay motivated.
You can also have contact with teachers, ask questions
and clarify doubts.
This ensures that you never get stuck.
I'm incredibly excited about this new
Beautiful British English B1 Programme.
We start on Monday, the 26th of September.
I am running an introductory offer, a launch offer.
