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 more than likely had plenty of opportunities do talk about most, if not all, of the questions you'll face on the exam in your day-to-day life. Maybe not the exact questions you'll face. But you've likely already experienced situations like what you'll have to speak about. That means you have experience. Your mindset matters!

In the last podcast, I share some helpful advice to deal with two of the top challenges test takers face on the CELPIP: clock anxiety and noise distractions. 👉 How To Beat Clock Anxiety On The CELPIP Thank you for reading!

Do what I'm doing right now - correct and try again! 😁) --- I bet you've noticed it. I know I have. Darkness. Have you noticed it's getting darker sooner now? And darker in the morning when you get up to head to work? I've noticed it. And then...the cold. Have you noticed that happening yet? Dang. The cold is coming. The dark is...
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, 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...
