Do you have difficulty speaking English?

Sometimes the hardest part is simply starting a conversation.
Today you'll learn 40 conversation starters that native English speakers use in various real life situations – formal or informal, at work, school, or other contexts!

These aren't especially "deep" conversation starters like you might want to use on a first date, when you're interested in getting to know someone extremely well. Instead, they are more suited for "small talk" – casual conversation about topics of general interest.
You will learn lots more phrases inside my Everyday English Speaking Courses - they cover tons of situations, like what to say during:
travel
shopping
eating in restaurants
socializing
agreeing/disagreeing
making invitations and requests
giving criticism or advice
expressing your thoughts
...and much more.
I hope to see you inside!

English has some interesting expressions with the word "business" – and many of them AREN'T related to work. For example:
funny business
[someone] means business
[do something] like nobody's business
make it your business [to do something]
and more!
If you are learning English for work, my Business English Course will teach you the phrases and vocabulary you need.

You'll learn what to say in interviews, meetings, negotiations, phone calls, presentations, networking events, and more.

You'll also expand your vocabulary in the areas of management, finance, marketing, human resources, entrepreneurship, and many other topics.

Free Pronunciation Power Mini-Course: https://espressoenglish.lpages.co/free-pronunciation-challenge/ 
Once I asked my students, "What are the most difficult English words for you to pronounce?" and I got a lot of great answers!
Today we're going to practice 15 words that English learners often find hard to say. I'll say each one once slowly, once at normal speed, and then I'll say an example sentence – so listen and repeat after me each time.
Did you know that you can improve your pronunciation a LOT in the next 30 days when you join my American English Pronunciation Course? By doing a lesson a day, you'll practice all the sounds of American English, so that you can speak more clearly and confidently.

Let's replace weak verbs with stronger verbs! Each powerful verb in this list will improve your English vocabulary and fluency.
One of the most common problems I hear among students who are already at an intermediate level of English is that they really want to have a rich vocabulary. You don't just want to use the same basic words over and over; you want to use interesting and powerful words.
So today I'll teach you 20 interesting verbs that will supercharge your vocabulary.
And that's actually a good example – I could say "improve your vocabulary" or "expand your vocabulary" but those are weaker verbs than the word "supercharge." This strong verb is so much more descriptive, it creates a mental picture of getting a huge boost in vocabulary power.
