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.

1

Choose

Pick one workplace prompt.

2

Record

Speak for 60 seconds.

3

Listen

Listen once, without grading yourself.

4

Repeat

Say it again with one small change.

5

Notice

Write one piece of evidence.

By week four, the recording habit is doing what tutors couldn't: giving you evidence.

How it works

A four-week route through the moments that move too quickly

Week 1

Get your voice into the room

Practise entering conversations, giving simple updates and starting before the perfect sentence arrives.

Week 2

Stay present under pressure

Use phrases for clarifying, buying time and answering unexpected questions without disappearing.

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.

MSc Psychology. Seventeen years teaching English to adults. Currently working through DELE C1 in Spanish.

Ready when you are

Start quietly. 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.

£49 plus VAT where applicable. Files delivered by Payhip immediately after checkout.
