I teach you how to understand
Americans when they speak fast

What happens when you try to understand native speakers?

At first, you understand, and follow the conversation. As the conversation continues, it becomes more difficult.


You feel lost and uncomfortable. You don’t know what to do…


“Should I tell them to speak slowly? That’s embarrassing.”


“Should I ask them to repeat, again? I’ll slow the conversation.”


“Should I smile and pretend I’m following? I feel stupid!”

“Why can’t I understand?!”
(Me, trying to learn French in France in 2003)

I've been in the same

embarrassing situation...

When I studied French at school, I was the best student in my class.


Then, I came to France…


When I tried to follow real conversations, it destroyed my confidence, every time.


“I understand all my French lessons! Why can’t I understand real people?”


I became uncomfortable, embarrassed, and asked a lot “Can you repeat please?”


All the time I had spent listening to French movies and songs didn’t prepare me for the real world…


I thought it would. But I was wrong.

3 Myths about understanding real, fast English

  • “If I watch movies in English, I will learn to understand real conversations”

No scientific evidence supports this. Yes, it’s fun. Yes, it’s better than nothing. But when you watch a movie, you’re test your comprehension. You’re not actively learning how to understand better.


Learning HOW to understand is the key. In real life, there are no subtitles!

  • “I just need to go live in an English-speaking country for 6 months"

I thought this too: “I’ll go to France, I’ll be immersed in the language, and I’ll learn it like a child learns their native language. It’ll be easy!”

Wrong.


You are not a child. Your brain does not absorb the language the same way a child does. Plus, there is an advantage of learning as an adult: when I explain how to learn to understand, you can analyze apply my techniques, and progress faster.

  • “If I listen to CNN and podcasts every day, I will understand eventually”

This is passive listening. You do not actively work to better understand. There is a BIG difference between passively hearing English and actively listening to improve your comprehension.


Passive listening has a role in improving your comprehension. But you need active training too, so you can understand more, better, faster.

We’ve all met someone who has lived in an English-speaking country or “studied” English for years,
but still can’t follow conversations between native speakers. It’s very painful to see.


Why can’t they understand better?


Because there’s a BIG difference between listening a lot (even in immersion) and learning to understand

To learn faster, you need someone to teach you the sounds, the vocabulary, the culture

I found a friend who explained the sounds & expressions of spoken language

I felt less lost, less vulnerable. Progressively, I understood more easily

Finally, I felt like myself! I could build relationships and have real conversations

You don't need years of practice. You need a step-by-step system:

What's the cost of doing nothing?

Here’s a true story from a client. We’ll call her Valerie:

“I moved to Florida 2 years ago to follow my dream and create my company, a small surveillance company. Every day we call clients, receive clients, and go on-site to their home.


I studied English for 12 years and even if I’m immersed in American English now, it’s still very difficult for me to understand, especially on the phone.


I avoid it and delegate it to one of my American employees as much as possible.


How can I be credible if I can’t make a simple phone call without being dependent on an employee?


When I can’t understand a potential client, I ask them to send me an email with their questions. The client is polite and agrees, but then I receive no email, so I lose the opportunity.”

“I’m losing money because I can’t understand my American clients!”

Valerie lost business in the past because she had difficulties understanding clients.

When we opened the course earlier this year, she didn’t hesitate to join.

“It’s a very small price to pay to feel comfortable & credible with clients, to understand them, and do my job better,” she says. “I’ll have a return on my investment quickly!”

“Will this course work for me?”

  • “What happens when I pay?”

After you pay, you receive a confirmation email. It has your username and password. Use them to connect to your course.

You can begin the course when you want.

  • “In the course title, it says ‘Season 1.’ Do I have to pay again, like a subscription?”

No, this is a single, one-time payment.


You buy the course, and then you keep your access forever.


We included “Season 1” in the title, because we plan to make more courses like this one, with different themes in the conversations! That will be “Season 2”, just like with your favorite American series

  • My card is not in Euros. Can I join the course?

Yes. I already have students from USA, South Africa, Brazil, Guatemala, Taiwan, Russia, and more!


My payment system accepts currencies from all countries. Our system does the conversion automatically.

About the course content

  • What’s the difference between this course and your free videos on YouTube?

This course is a complete method. It’s a learning path where you simply follow the lessons and activities I created for you to reach your goal.


I guide you step-by-step from start to finish, and you know that you’re working towards your objective efficiently.


As you saw in the sample lesson, there are many elements in each module to help you learn each aspect of understanding real American English, and activities so you actively learn.


The free episodes on YouTube are great for learning tips on many different subjects, but they are not a structured course, and do not have exercises where you actively learn.

  • Are the conversations really authentic?

Yes, all of the conversations are authentic, unscripted, and just like conversations you hear in real life.

With my friends and family, we installed the camera, and just started talking about the topic of the lesson. But we

didn’t do any advance preparation… just like in real conversations.

  • What’s in the course lessons?
Module What you learn, in addition to the colloquial expressions from each conversation

2. A recipe, with Bonnie
  • Disappearing sounds at the ends of words
  • How to recognize words when they are “squished” together and sound like one strange sound

  • Expressions like “should have” & “could have” that sound like “shoulduh/ and /coulduh/
  • “Going to” pronounced as /gonna/ or /gowintuh/

5. Catching up, with Michael
  • Recognize common questions we say fast, without thinking

What will you do now?

You can continue just watching series and movies and pretend you're improving, but there's a cost:

  • Losing clients because they don't trust that you totally understand them
  • Missing opportunities to build relationships through real conversations
  • Damaging your credibility because you can't follow discussions
  • Feeling frustrated and stuck with your school English (possibly for years more)

Or, you can let me guide you step by step, to better understand fast English:

  • Enjoy better relationships, both in business and personal life
  • Connect with clients and colleagues, so you appreciate each other
  • Finally bridge the gap between school English and real conversations
  • Feel comfortable and confident in English, and proud to invest in yourself now
