Description
This is a course for EFL students who are interested in either widening their English vocabulary or speaking more fluently and confidently. By the end of the course, you will be using a whole new range of well-known expressions, with correct collocations, in appropriate situations. TV shows, films, and books will become much easier to understand, as you will know a lot of the vocabulary that is regularly used by natives. This vocabulary would also be extremely useful for anyone taking TOEFL, IELTS, FCE, CAE, or CPE. I am a native British teacher with more than 20 years' teaching experience, and more than 10 years' experience making video lessons.
The course includes the following:
Downloadable workbook. A 317-page ebook (PDF) with hyperlinks and colour images. The chapters include exercises and answers for ALL topics on this course. A paperback version can be purchased on Amazon

An analysis of the collocations, phrasal verbs, and idioms that we find in each topic

Repetition of the vocabulary in different lessons and quizzes, so that the new words and phrases are easier to memorize
