0:36
Advanced expressions are essential to

on the whole He seems to be really
1:37
loving it oh well that's good to hear my
1:40
nephew really struggled when he started
1:43
school yeah I've been really struck by
1:46
how resilient kids are even when things

are difficult they adapt Tommy used to
1:52
be so shy but since he started school
1:55
he's so sure of himself a confident

great we'll talk soon
8:33
so here's the thing practicing with me
8:36
like this is great practice we can keep
8:40
doing this as much as you like but the
8:43
next step
8:44
to take it a step further and instead of
8:48
reading or repeating these Expressions
8:51
that you just learned today how can you
8:53
actively use them in real conversations
8:56
with other people and develop that
8:59
experience using them in context you
9:03
can't develop your speaking skills or
9:05
improve your fluency without taking this
9:09
step my online speaking Community is a
9:12
unique Community for women who want to
9:14
develop confidence and fluency as
9:17
English speakers now I know that means
9:20
that some of you are unable to join but
9:23
by being a women-only space there are so
9:27
many advantages especially for women who
9:30
are developing their speaking skills
9:32
because we feel nervous we feel worried
9:35
about making mistakes and we need that
9:38
environment to be as supportive and as
9:41
fear-free as possible to help you step
9:44
out side of your comfort zone hey lady
9:47
is a very supportive speaking community
9:49
