Do you ever hear someone using British English and think,

‘… I’d love to speak like that!’

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to James Bond or Hermione Granger?

OK, so you love British English and how it sounds but hold on…what are the words they are using? This isn’t the English you were taught in school or in your boring old coursebooks.

And the biggest problem: British English vocabulary is everywhere you turn and it sometimes feels like listening to a new language.

From Harry Potter and Bridgerton to Adele and the BBC! They are all using words and phrases you’ve never heard before…..until now.

You know your English is good,

but coursebooks didn’t prepare you for this

Shy to speak to people

Colleagues, friends, neighbours — they all use these words and phrases you don’t understand and it makes every conversation a challenge. Do you pretend you understand and nod along enthusiastically or quickly escape the conversation? And do they expect you to use these words too?

Unable to express yourself fully

There’s so much you want to say. However, when you try to say it, you can’t find the words you want! In your own language you are fine, but in English you struggle to share your thoughts and opinions with the people around you.

Fear of missing out

You are worried you might be missing jokes, cultural references or important information because you don’t know the key words – especially when you’re chatting with the locals or watching British shows. Does everyone else get it except you?

Conscious of how you sound

You’ve been speaking English for years but you worry you still sound like a beginner. You want to break through that infamous intermediate plateau and start using the words and sounds that you see and hear all around you.

The GOOD news is…

you are so much closer to speaking confident British English than you think

What if you could easily use British English vocabulary?

Most English coursebooks only teach standard vocabulary like very simple nouns, adjectives and verbs.

And that’s fine for the basics, but you are ready for more!

You’ve noticed that Brits use so many cool sounding words and phrases that you’ve never seen in your English classes before 🤔

No wonder all the British people you speak to sound nothing like you were expecting!

If you want to express yourself fully, blend in with the locals and get the most out of life in the UK, you need to do more than learn the basic vocabulary. You need to learn the words, phrases and expressions people ACTUALLY use here.

 

And that’s where we come in

MEET YOUR TEACHER

 

Hi, I’m Teacher Tom – a Londoner, British English expert and Chief Eat Sleep Dreamer.

 

I’ve been a teacher for 17 years, working in Spain, Argentina, Hong Kong, London and online. And if my experience has taught me anything it’s that most teaching methods do not prepare you for the language you actually hear in the homes, offices and streets of the UK.

This funny little island nation is a melting pot of people and cultures, and I’m a big believer in celebrating that. That’s why this course covers all the regional vocabulary differences you’ll find here in the UK. From Cockney rhyming slang to Scottish English words we cover everything so that you can make the most out of every interaction.

Excellent Experience!

Very relevant, practical and engaging for people like me who love to indulge in British culture and learn more about it. I particularly like the quiz session as I realise that I always miss the key points 🙂 Well done Tom and the team!!! Love every bit of it…

More joy

A must-read!

“I’ve been waiting for a book like this, and here it is! After having lived in the UK for nearly 5 years, this book can still surprise me and needless to say, my students enjoy it too. If you haven’t already, go and get it now!”

(about the book ‘A Really British Guide to English’

 If you put in the work, you will see (and hear) remarkable results, even if…

You’ve lived in the UK for years and still feel like you don’t sound ‘local’.

You’ve tried taking English lessons before and you were disappointed with the results.

The words and phrases you hear sound like another language to you right now and you’re not sure if you’ll ever be able to learn it (you will).

You have been stuck at the same English level for years and can’t seem to make that jump to the next level.

You don’t live in the UK and don’t have many opportunities to practise speaking

I’m loving this course and the book!

“I got these two last week, and I’ve been loving them!I’m only a few lessons in, but I’ve learned so much, even though I’ve been living here for nearly seven years! And the book is so cool, the section “What Brits Say and What They Actually Mean” has me in tears, so accurate and after so many years here, I catch myself saying sorry way too much 😂”
