Yesterday you listened to a short audio clip from my teacher, Laura. That clip wasn't a one-off. It comes from something we have been building for months and today I finally get to show you. |

|
The brand new Advanced Listening Challenge is open for enrolment! |
|
|
Here is what makes this completely different from anything I've made before: the entire course centres around my expert teachers. |
|
|
Jane, Laura and Joel have shaped my courses behind the scenes for years, and between them, they have over 40 years of classroom experience. |
|
|
For this challenge, they sat down and recorded ten genuine, unscripted accounts of real moments in their lives: a turning point, a hard lesson, a leap of faith, a moment of joy. |
|
|
Every lesson pulls its language straight from authentic, advanced-level speech: |
|
|
|
|
C1 and C2 vocabulary, every single day. Words like prowess and to dwindle, or phrases like to send shivers down your spine. You'll start recognising them, then using them yourself. |
|
|
|
|
|
Stress patterns and the meaning they carry. Where the emphasis lands in a phrase and how a subtle shift changes what the speaker is expressing. |
|
|
|
|
|
British and North American pronunciation, side by side. The slight yet extremely important differences that most learners are never taught. |
|
|
|
|
|
Connected speech, in context. The sounds that disappear mid-sentence, explained using the real lines you just heard. |
|
|
|
That's just a small sample. Each day unpacks something entirely new.
Once you learn to tune into these details, you cannot unhear them. You will spot them in films, podcasts and conversations, and they'll naturally find their way into your own speech.
|
|
|
Each story unfolds across three days, requiring around 25 minutes a day for 30 days. |
