Overview

What this course is

The gap between textbook English and the English people actually speak comes down to three things: linking, elision and contraction. Learners fail to catch it not for lack of vocabulary but because the phrases they know are run together into an unfamiliar block of sound. The second half of the course is REFLEX — shortening the translation gap in your head. It uses quick-response drills built around situations, where answering with perfect grammar matters less than answering at once and keeping the conversation moving.
