Over the past two days, we’ve explored that frustrating gap between your brilliant thoughts and the words that (try to) come out. |
|
|
We’ve also talked about how traditional courses teach you vocabulary for situations that barely happen anymore, while leaving you tongue-tied in the conversations that actually matter. |
|
|
Let’s find out where your vocabulary stands right now. |
|
|
To express yourself in English the way you do in your native language, you really do need to expand your vocabulary. But as we discovered yesterday, it’s so important to focus on how these words and phrases show up in real life. |
|
|
That’s exactly why I’ve put together this short but surprisingly fun Advanced Vocabulary Test. |
|
|
Get a perfect score? I’ll send you a virtual high-five. ✋ |
|
|
Get more than a few wrong? Even better – you’ll know exactly what to focus on.
|
|
|
It takes about 10 minutes and tests real vocabulary that native speakers genuinely use in everyday conversations. You’ll get a clear picture of what you can actually do with your current vocabulary arsenal. |
|
|
But here’s what I’m really excited to share with you: |
|
|
After taking the test, you might find yourself wondering, “Okay, this is helpful... but how do I actually improve from here?”
And that’s where most vocabulary learning completely falls apart.
|
|
|
Traditional methods are honestly a bit rubbish. Word lists, flashcards and endless definitions to memorise. |
|
|
But your brain doesn’t learn that way. We remember stories, not isolated facts. We absorb language through connection and context, not mindless repetition.
Think about how you naturally learnt your native language. You didn’t sit with a dictionary memorising definitions. You heard words used in meaningful situations, felt their emotional weight and gradually understood how they worked.
|
|
|
That’s exactly how the Advanced Vocabulary Expansion Challenge teaches vocabulary: |
|
|
- You learn words on meaningful topics like humour, conflict and persuasion
- You build systematically on what you already know
- You practise using words in realistic, engaging contexts
- Strategic review ensures these words stick long-term
|
|
|
Tomorrow, I’m opening the doors for 4 days only. |
|
|
I’ll share all the details tomorrow, including a very special (extremely discounted) price that I only offer during this enrolment window. |
|
|
But first, go and take that test! I’m curious to see how you do.
I have a sneaky feeling you’re going to love what’s coming next.

Best wishes,
