Re: (Opps! Broken Link!) Stuck at 8? Discover Why (and what to do about it!)
|
Hello Reader, Well, this is embarrassing! My email sent with the wrong info in it, so I'm resending to fix it. (I'm so sorry for the duplicate message today - here is the right one.) Getting stuck at any score on the CELPIP can be a mighty tough situation to be in, because stuck usually means you've had multiple attempts at breaking free, but they didn't work. Worse? What if your reading, writing, and listening scores were all high, and it was all because of your speaking results that you weren't able to get THE SCORE you needed for your PR process? That's an even tougher way to be stuck, isn't it? This is the problem I came across on Reddit a little while ago, and I made a brand spanking new podcast episode to try and help them solve it. What's going on when you're doing all the right things, especially talking with English speakers each day, but you still don't seem to be able to get a better score? The likely reason you can't score higher might surprise you. And the solution? Well, it might shock you! (I know...the drama, right?) But surprise and shock will kind of make more sense once you listen to the episode hint, hint.
*** 📧 Over to you! Do you feel stuck at a certain score on the CELPIP? Hit reply and let me know. I'll write you back and share a free resource with you that will help you break free. Thank you for reading! Have a great week! Aaron |

Hello Reader, Writer and speaker John Maxwell once said, "You'll never find the right answers if you're asking the wrong questions." And I've got a great frequently asked 'wrong question' to share with you today: "How long should I practice for the CELPIP before I take it?" And another popular one: "How long is long enough to practice my English for?" The answer? It's not about how long you need or should be practicing. It's how frequently are you practicing? Frequency matters FAR MORE than...
Hello Reader, One of the worst things you can do is fall for the idea that you have to have flawless English before you use it. Obvious? Of course you can't wait for flawless English in order to speak. I think you know that. (Right?) But do you ever feel stuck like this? "I don't want to make a mistake. The last one I made was so embarrassing that I never want to feel that way again." Sound familiar? I've felt those embarrassing moments, too. I've completely blanked out - froze - in front of...
Hello Reader, One of the easiest ways to do better on many of the CELPIP speaking tasks, is to simply remember: you've done this before! You've likely given someone advice before, right? (That's task 1.) You've likely shared a story about something that happened to you before. (That's task 2.) I could go on. The point: don't let the CELPIP freak you out because it's a big language exam. (And I know...I know...it is a big language exam that has a lot riding on it!) But remember this: you've...
