When you get invited to a party, is it okay to ask who else is going before accepting?

Find out why you might want to avoid this, especially with new connections and friends.

Do you ever feel like your English is good, but not quite where you want it to be?

Maybe you can have conversations, but you still hesitate when expressing complex ideas.

Maybe you know what you want to say, but you can't always say it naturally.

If that sounds familiar, our B2 English fluency course was designed for you.

You'll learn how to speak more naturally, express yourself with confidence, and finally stop

feeling stuck at the intermediate level.

This week, you can save $50 on our basic plan or save $100 on our personal coach plan.
