Hello Reader, Have you ever found yourself focused entirely on all the mistakes you've made or have been making - both in your life and in your CELPIP prep? Like that focus becomes all you can see? That 7 or 8 on the CELPIP that you keep getting even after 8 attempts seems to take over your thoughts and has you believing things like, "I suck at this. I'm never going to get 9. NEVER! Maybe I should just give up." In this week's podcast I'm talking about failure, and hopefully I offer you some encouraging advice. Advice that I've been taking myself lately as I've been facing my own mistakes and not a few failed attempts at different things. I hope this helps you, as much as it helped me to create! **** And speaking of failure - this week I supposedly was launching my 30 day CELPIP Speaking Skill bootcamp. But even that failed! An amazing subscriber who actually just joined the bootcamp, shared with me that for some unknown reason, my checkout links were broken - making it impossible to join! After working like crazy today, I managed to set up an alternative! If you'd like to jump in and work on your CELPIP speaking skills, then this 30 (intensive) bootcamp is for you!

The common situation I see: I'm stuck at [x lower than wanted score] but I need a way higher score. I don't feel confident (because I keep scoring low!) I have my next exam in a few days. Do you have...
Hello Reader, Happy Saturday to you! I know today you're busy. Me too. I've got a mountain of laundry to catch up on and groceries to buy before I can rest and take it easy. How about you?

Then I've got two great resources for you: 4 Tips To Master Speaking Task 6 A common mistake on this speaking task is trying to be so nice with your response that you don't do what you're supposed to do: kindly, but firmly stick with your...
Hello Reader, In case you missed it: In this week's podcast episode, I share one of my favourite stories about a previous client of mine named Tin who was stuck between a 7 and 8 on the speaking section of the CELPIP no matter how many times he tried. His English was strong enough to score higher, but a speech impediment kept getting in the way — not his fluency. Tin and I spent several months practicing his speaking responses again and again through voice chat, at his own pace, on his own...
