    About this ebook

    In the world we are living in, English has become the common language that people from different countries and cultures can use to communicate with one another. There are many reasons why people would want to learn English, but for a lot of them; It is work-related. Most large companies around the world require their employees to speak English. In some cases, these companies are requiring their workers to only use English at the workplace.

    English has also been referred to as "the language of business". If you have ambitions to become an international businessman or to work at some bigger companies, it's almost essential that you're able to speak English fluently.

    From The Intermediate Level to The Advanced Level

    From my years of teaching, I am confident to say that it is easy for an English learner to go from a beginner English level to an intermediate English level. However, it takes more time to go from an Intermediate level to an advanced English level.

    A lot of students have studied English for years but still aren't able to speak English on an advanced level. They have tried many methods, attending classes, learning how to pronounce every single word and even getting a private English tutor to improve their spoken English, yet they still have a hard time pronouncing English words correctly or feeling too nervous to speak.

      I agree with the face that our limiting beliefs act as a barrier to learn the English language. In this book Christopher even tells what we should do to change our limiting beliefs. He says the English language is not a subject to be studied but a skill to be developed.The rules from the author tells about are very practical and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this to people with ESL background. It’s a must have get to the advanced level.

      In addition to the huge number of typos and mistakes, he writes about Accent Reduction training as though it is nothing more than "shadowing". As a professional in the area of Accent Reduction, I can assure you there is much more to it than that! Another example of someone who thinks they know what it is, but clearly doesn't.
    • 5/5
      A few great Things about this book. The book straight forward and clear. The English tips are useful, I have tried myself. The shadowing technique helps a lot. I see a quite an improvement about 20 days of shadowing. Well done.
    • 5/5

      This is my first time to read a book to its end, I am really impressed. And also, I have read it in one go, it took me two hours and half to finish it. I enjoyed it as I enjoy watching my favourite movie : I can say today is a go start in my life, and this book is the start line.
      Thank you so much Dear Christopher for the great job you did for us.
      All the best

      My husband is learning English and I got this as a way to boost his knowledge (he's learned through various online programs and apps, but no formal classes). It's been great! He's skilled enough to understand the directions, so I'm not sure how easy it would be for someone with no knowledge of the language. Overall , this is a great guide to improve your spoken English.

      Bought this book because I am about to enroll in college here in the US and even if I have a Bachelor's degree in my country, none of my English subject has been credited. I am now a little confident that I will make it in my English class because of this book and of course get some more other resources. This is a very to understand and friendly book that even people from other country who don't speak English can understand easily.

      Lol, I thought this book is for black people, but it turn out it’s not. For the content of book, I will say it’s not bad, because it teaches mainly on how to speak English better. My Reading is better than just speaking, because when I speak I have to think. Overall, it’s a great read and I learned sth from it.

      I needed a book to learn some phrases and sentences used by natives in everyday conversations with friends, colleagues, shop-assistants, doctors etc. I wanted to sound like a native English speaker. What I DIDN’T need were idioms and slang words because I hardly ever use them in my native language. I am really excited I could get this book because it helps me sound natural in English. Now I don’t make my own sentences and sound funny in English anymore. Instead I use full sentences from these dialogues and feel much more confident. The intensive listening and shadowing method really helped a lot. The only complain I have is that there are not hardcover for this book, but overall I still highly recommended!

    About the Author

    ––––––––

    Hello there!  My name is Christopher Hill.

    I have been an international English professor for more than 25 years, during which time I have taught at all levels, and many age groups from High School up to young adults. I have taught at a few big organizations in Japan, Vietnam, Germany and Taiwan, Universities, and technical colleges.

    I have extensive experience teaching Business English in addition to General English. I also help ESL students prepare for English exams such as TOEFL iBT, IELTS, TOEIC and BEC.

    I was an official examiner for IELTS, Cambridge Assessment and TEA. This allows me to assess my student’s level and give my students a more custom and tailor-made approach for learning how to speak English more fluently.

    I love helping others reach their language goals. I want students to feel confident, to have fun and to find relevancy in what we are doing!

    I am extremely blessed to able to teach and support all of you in reaching your individual goals. As English has become such a crucial skill for connecting with the world at large - be it for business, education or pleasure –
