Self-study speaking pack
Speak Like You Mean Business
A four-week self-study speaking pack for B2 to C1 professionals who want steadier practice for meetings, sudden questions and presentations.
Use it for 10 to 15 minutes a day. Choose a prompt, record yourself, listen once, repeat once, and notice one piece of evidence that your English is becoming more available.
£49 plus VAT where applicable.
Try the rhythm
One day of the pack takes about 10 to 15 minutes
The work is deliberately small. You choose one prompt, speak before you can over-prepare, listen once, repeat once, and notice one piece of evidence that your English is becoming more available.
Record
Speak for 60 seconds.
Listen
Listen once, without grading yourself.
Repeat
Say it again with one small change.
Notice
Write one piece of evidence.
By week four you have a folder of your own recordings, and you can hear the change between week one and now.
Look inside
See the course before you buy it
Selected pages from the workbook, so you can see the level, the rhythm and the kind of work you will be doing.
How it works
A four-week route through the moments that move too quickly

Get into the conversation
Practise entering conversations, giving simple updates and starting before the sentence is perfect.
Week 2
Stay present in live moments
Use phrases for clarifying, buying time and answering unexpected questions without losing your thread.
Week 3
Sound more like yourself
Practise opinions, soft disagreement and professional nuance without shrinking your meaning.
Week 4
Recover and keep going
Build repair language, repetition and a realistic way to continue after the pack finishes.
I lead my team in my first language. I lose them in English.

Built from real teaching
I built this from years of teaching adults who were more capable in English than they felt in the moments that mattered. The work is psychology-informed, but practical: small speaking tasks, useful business phrases, and enough reflection to help you notice evidence that your English is still there.

Ready when you are
Start small. Keep going.
The pack is self-study, so you can use it privately and at your own pace. You do not need to send recordings anywhere. They are there to help you hear your own progress. And if you finish the four weeks and want to go further with the live-speaking side, that is what the six-week programme is for.
£49 plus VAT where applicable. Files delivered by Payhip immediately after checkout.
