I help intrepid travellers and adventurous expats improve their English listening skills through doing what they love. I teach you to use movies and TV shows to understand fast-talking native English speakers and and fit in with them. I've been living abroad since 2007 in France and improving my listening skills has been the key to connecting with the locals and improving my speaking and pronunciation skills. I'd love to help you do the same thing in English so you can thrive, not just survive in your new life abroad.
