Description

You're a great engineer, but when the meeting starts in English, you feel like your brain is running in slow motion.

You're not alone. Many engineers who work in international teams or English-speaking environments struggle with translating in their head before speaking.

- It slows you down,

- it kills confidence, and

- it makes it hard to contribute clearly in real time.

This course is built specifically for non-native English-speaking engineers who need to communicate faster and more confidently in technical discussions.

Taught by Olivia Augustin, a civil engineer, certified English as a 2nd language teacher, and university guest lecturer, this course cuts through the fluff and gives you real-world strategies that actually work.

No textbook English. No grammar drills. But a practical system designed to:

Speed up your thinking
Help you speak without overthinking
Make you feel confident in English again

Why take this course?

Because your English is not the problem, the mental load of translating is.

You'll learn how to speak in chunks, build habits, and think in English even if you're not "fluent."

And the best part?

This course is built by someone who gets your world: an engineer who teaches English, not an English teacher who guesses what engineers need.

PS: With the very last slide, I'll tell you about my 1:1 coaching in two sentences. Because this is called 'promoting' my courses outside of Udemy, I have to let you know beforehand. Now you know ;-)

Who this course is for:

Engineers who speak another language but work in English-speaking teams
Non-native professionals who feel frustrated during English meetings and calls
Engineers who are tired of using Google Translate and want real fluency tools
Native and non-native speakers who want to be more authentic, articulated and relaxed in real-time conversation
