Hello Reader, Did you know that there are no 'secrets' to learning English faster? But if you focus on increasing the frequency of your practice, and think differently about what those practice sessions look like, you can go a LONG way towards making more progress than you can imagine! The challenge? Most people are stuck thinking 'English practice' only happens in classrooms and with a teacher or course book to work with. Nope. The best and most powerful practice is actually happening all around you. It can happen at the grocery store! Have you ever had a friendly cashier or grocery store worker say hello and ask you how you are doing? Or ask you if you would like some help finding something? Most people end those conversations before they have a chance to get started! "Fine thanks." "Yes, thank you. I found everything." That's not taking advantage of a great opportunity. Think about it - they did the hard part of making the first move! They started the conversation - you just need to keep it going for a minute or two! What if you tried this: "I'm doing very well, thank you. How about you?" "What lovely weather we've been having - FINALLY! I felt like I'd never see the sun again!" Simple. Your goal: extend that conversation by one or two questions. Give it a try! I dare you! Recent Podcast Episodes:Guard Your Heart - Not into spiritual focused content? No problem. Just skip it. In this episode, I delve into the importance of guarding your heart during this difficult time. I draw from Proverbs 4:20-23, which emphasizes the necessity of paying attention to the words that influence us, turning our ears to what nurtures our spirit – God’s word, the Bible, and ultimately guarding our hearts. Is AI Really Helping You Prepare for the CELPIP? - One of the most challenging things about using AI is not surrendering your own ideas, intuition and experience to what AI tells you. AI is not always right, and this is especially true when it comes to working on your English skills and getting ready for your CELPIP. Brought to you by: The CELPIP Success School.

Hello Reader, Your walk home from work, or around your neighbourhood can easily turn into a fun CELPIP speaking task practice session if you're alert to what's going on around you. How about this? The other day as I was walking I noticed this cool little yard ornament: What could you do with this shot to help you practice? I immediately thought of speaking task 8, where you need to describe a picture with an unusual item or situation happening in it. Give yourself 30 seconds to brainstorm...
Happy Saturday friend! Have you ever stopped to check if the path you're following each day is actually taking you where you want to go? I'm not trying to get deep or woo woo on you. But this past week, it's something I've been thinking carefully about for myself and the path my feet are walking on. By path, I mean the things we do each day. Or the things we don't do. Much of the time those things are repeated over and over again. The work we go to, and the tasks we engage in during our work...
