Are you ready to try pronouncing some SUPER-LONG English words? Today we're going to practice pronouncing words with 6 and 7 syllables! Before we begin, two important tips for pronouncing long words: First, you need to know which syllable is the strong one, so that you stress the right part of the word. I'll show you which syllable to emphasize (you can also check a dictionary). The other tip is to try it slowly first, then gradually increase your speed until you can say it at a normal speed. In today's lesson, I'll say the words once slowly and once normally, so you can repeat both times. Those were pretty challenging, weren't they? It's hard at first, but it just takes practice... and I know you can do it! To continue improving your pronunciation with me, come join my American English Pronunciation Course, so we can get your pronunciation nice and clear.

How many phrases do you know for talking about price in English? You can say “it’s expensive” or “it’s a good price” - those phrases are ok, but very basic! So let's learn 10 more phrases we use to talk about price. I created two excellent courses to teach you daily life phrases like these - they’re my Everyday English Speaking Courses, levels 1 and 2! Inside them, you’ll learn common phrases in the context of conversations. It's a great way to see how the phrases are really used by native English speakers. If you join both levels together, there's a discount - you save $15 

When you put your shoulders up to say "I don't know"... is that called lifting, raising, or shrugging your shoulders? When you move your head up and down to say "yes," is that called bowing, nodding, or shaking your head? You'll learn the answers to these in today's lesson about verb + body part collocations! To continue learning, make sure to get 1000 Collocations in 10 Minutes a Day. The lessons are easy to do quickly, and they also come with quizzes to help you practice.

Did you know that the word “run” can mean lots of different things in English? Today you'll learn 30 different ways to use this simple word! Whew! That was a lot to learn and a lot to remember. What I suggest is trying to write your own example sentences with each definition or expression we learned today - so you can put it into practice. A great way to expand your vocabulary further is to join my Vocabulary Builder Courses, which will teach you lots of useful English words - and help you practice them. Inside the courses there’s homework that helps you review the new words - and you can send in your homework for feedback and correction from our teaching team.

The word “no” was probably one of the first ones you ever learned in English. Now let’s learn how it’s used in 15 different informal expressions like “no dice, no kidding, no sweat,” and more. I’ll explain what each expression means and give you an example. Informal expressions are easiest to learn when they’re inside the context of a conversation – and that’s the method I use to teach them inside the Everyday English Speaking Course Level 2. I hope you enjoyed today’s lesson and learned some new expressions! But don’t stop here... make sure to join Everyday English Speaking Level 2 to learn hundreds more of the informal phrases that native English speakers use in daily life.

Today I’m going to teach you 3 different meanings for the word "vet." Do you know them all? Let’s find out.

My Vocabulary Builder Courses make it easy to learn new vocabulary because they teach you “families” of words – each lesson focuses on one topic. In each level of the course, you'll learn and practice over 1000 useful English words!

I want you to STOP saying “I don’t like it.” Why? Well, there’s nothing wrong with that sentence, but English has so many alternatives!

The lessons teach you exactly what to say in dozens of daily life situations. It’s our most popular course at Espresso English!

Did you know that in more formal English, we tend to avoid using two-word verbs like ask for, throw away, and give out? These are very common in everyday spoken English, but we typically use slightly more formal words when writing professionally.

If you're learning English for your career, then you'll find my Business English course very helpful! You can join for 50% off until Friday.

We’re coming up to Valentine’s day on February 14th in the U.S. This holiday celebrates love and romance, so today’s lesson will teach you 20 essential words and phrases for talking about love and relationships. I’ve divided today’s vocabulary into three groups – starting a romantic relationship, being in a relationship, and ending a relationship. When you want to expand your vocabulary, it’s very effective to learn groups of words like we’re doing today. This keeps the vocabulary more organized in your mind, and then it’s much easier to talk about the topic. You can continue learning this way inside my Vocabulary Builder Courses, which will teach you hundreds of common and extremely useful English words!

Today I’d like you to consider this question: Is your English unbalanced? If something is unbalanced, it means it is not equal, it is not even. There is more in one part, and less in another part. What does it mean for your English to be unbalanced? Learning a language has many different aspects: Reading Writing Listening Speaking Grammar Vocabulary If you are strong in some areas, but weak in others, your English is unbalanced. Some students read a lot - even advanced texts - but they can't understand much when they listen. Some students have a large vocabulary... but they can't put the words they know into phrases. Some students are great at grammar, and can write very well... but have very bad pronunciation, and it's difficult to understand their accent. This is what it means for your English to be unbalanced. And in a moment, I'll give you some tips for solving this problem. But first, look at those six aspects of the English language and think about which area you are strongest in, and whic
