Struggling to understand native speakers because they speak too quickly?

Tired of feeling embarrassed or confused in conversations?

If you've reached an intermediate level of English but are still struggling to comprehend fast English, you're not alone! Even advanced English learners find it frustrating trying to understand what people are saying in real life, especially when traditional English textbooks just don't prepare you for the fast-English you hear in everyday life. You end up feeling confused, missing important information, and lacking the confidence to engage with native speakers. But don't worry - we've got what you need!

Introducing Listen Up! Fast English Made Easy - the online course that will transform your listening skills.

With 4 modules and over 2 hours of video content broken down into short video lessons, I will guide you step by step to learn the patterns of fast-spoken English. Say goodbye to confusion and hello to understanding! By the end of the course, you'll be able to:

  • Stop stressing about everyday interactions in English.

    Take the guesswork out of conversation and confidently interact in a real world setting. Confidently handle daily conversations, like responding promptly when the barista asks you how you want your coffee or the cashier asks you about payment.

  • Comprehend and follow questions, suggestions, and instructions given in fast-spoken English, whether in academic, professional, or personal settings

    Understand colleagues and clients clearly when they're discussing important ideas at work or follow along effortlessly when your professor is reviewing class material.

  • Participate more confidently in meetings, seminars, and conferences conducted in English

    Catch details at work meetings and follow presentations at normal conversational speed without losing focus or missing key points.

  • Expand Your Career Possibilities

    Develop the strong English communication skills that employers are looking for! Perform more confidently in interviews, calls, meetings, and events and build better relationships with English-speaking colleagues and clients.

  • Navigate through busy and noisy environments where English is spoken rapidly, such as airports, train stations, or crowded city streets

    Understand critical announcements, alerts, and schedule changes even when said over intercoms and other noises. No more missed flights or getting stuck because you misheard! Find your gate, get accurate transit info, and more.

  • Access a wider range of English-language resources, including videos, podcasts, music, TV shows, and movies, which may be primarily available in fast-spoken English

    Imagine being able to keeping up with fast-paced dialogue in American TV shows and films without having to constantly focus on the subtitles!

What will I learn?

A quick introduction to each module

  • Welcome Module

    First, you'll watch a video introduction and learn about common fast English myths. This will give you a solid start. Then, you'll complete a short listening task. This is to see where you're at now, so we can track how much you improve!

  • Module 1

    In this module, you'll learn WHY the English pronunciation you learned in school isn't the whole picture. We'll take a look at 'strong' and 'weak' words and how these words function in conversation.

  • Module 2

    In this module, we'll explore contractions. You may know them in writing, but the world of spoken contractions is a whole new challenge!

  • Module 3

    In this module, you'll decode the sounds that make up connected speech. We'll look at how English words blend together in fluid conversations and uncover: 1. How sounds morph based on surrounding letters 2. How certain sounds vanish entirely 3. How new sounds magically appear

  • Module 4

    In this module, we’ll learn how grammar can shape the sounds of fast speech. Specifically, we’ll look at -s endings, -ed endings, and phrasal verbs, and how their patterns influence pronunciation.

  • Module 5

    In this module, you'll put all your new skills together! First, , you'll take the listening test from the beginning of the course again to see your progress. Then, you'll have the chance to complete 3 longer listening activities. This is your chance to apply all the strategies you've acquired to understand longer segments of authentic, fast-paced English.

i work in a call center so i have to work with native speakers from USA everyday. it was so hard to understand because always they talk fast and they complained i don’t understand and always wanted to talk to manager. i thought i was going tools my job so i started to search for a course to help me understand native speakers. I tried some other courses but they didn’t teach what was confusing, just gave me more assignments. this course is different......it helps me know what is happening with the sounds and why i didn’t understand before. i am fnally understanding the customers! my boss must be happier ...I recommend 100%% and think bosses should use this as training!

I never learned listening this way before. really, these activities were so unique and helped me understand why I wasn't understanding native speakers and to improving on that. there is A LOT of information in the course that even years of studying English didn't help me with - here I did it in 3 weeks! i think you should stop wasting time and money and just take this course. It’s the only listening course you will need.

About me

Hi there - I'm Gabbie!

Learning a new a new language is tough! I know from experience. After university, I moved to France and struggled with everyday tasks and understanding native speakers - even after years of studying! But I didn't give up! After realizing how traditional language teaching methods failed students, I got certified to teach English to help students develop practical, real-life English skills. I've been teaching for over 10 years. But when I'm not with students or creating lessons, I love to cook (and eat😅), swim, studying languages so I don't look like such a tourist when I travel, and draw. I can't wait to welcome you to class!
