Stuck on CELPIP Speaking Task 3 or 4? Try this


Hello Reader,

Quick one for you today.

If you've ever frozen up during Speaking Task 3 or 4 on the CELPIP — staring at a picture, knowing exactly what you want to say but not having the precise word for it — this week's podcast episode is for you.

I walk through a simple way to turn places you're already going — the grocery store, the gas station, a walk downtown — into two or three minutes of effective CELPIP practice each time. No extra time carved out of your day. Just pausing wherever you are, picking two or three things going on around you, and describing them with as much precision as you can.

I also share the exact fix for when you blank on a word — plus a picture-guessing game you can play with a friend or your kids that'll show you fast whether your descriptions are actually landing.

Listen to the new podcast episode right here 👉 The Secret To Speaking Task 3 & 4: Everyday Vocabulary Practice.

Thank you for reading! I hope you have an excellent week.

I made a free 5-episode audio course for you that will walk you through exactly what to fix to make a huge difference for your English skills - and the CELPIP.

Talk soon,

Hello Reader, I've been working on something that might be just what you have been looking for if you have been living in Canada for a while now, like years, but your English skills don't seem to have gotten any better.
