  100% grammar quiz - 0% speaking. Why? 30.06.2026 3min

  ✨ Grammar in Conversation Course: https://courses.espressoenglish.net/grammar-in-conversation-course-A2-B1/  A lot of English learners can get 100% on a grammar quiz... ...but have difficulty using correct grammar when speaking. 🤔 ⚠️ The problem is that speaking is different from studying. When you're doing a grammar exercise, you have plenty of time to think. You can focus on one sentence, remember the rule, and choose the correct answer. But when you're speaking English, your brain is doing a LOT more at the same time!  You need to...     understand what the other person is saying     think of what you want to say     remember vocabulary     put a sentence together     pronounce the words correctly And while you're trying to do all that... you end up making grammar mistakes 😓 When you're having a conversation, you don't have time to think about the grammar rules. So how can you use English grammar more easily and naturally? The new Grammar in Conversation Course uses a simple 3-step method: See - Learn - Speak     First, you SEE the grammar used naturally in a conversation - making it easy to understand how native English speakers talk.     Then you LEARN the grammar though my clear explanation, using examples from the conversation.     Finally, you SPEAK - practice using the grammar yourself, now that you have a good understanding of how it works. That's how you go from knowing grammar... to using it naturally! Grammar in Conversation is 63% off if you join by Friday - https://courses.espressoenglish.net/grammar-in-conversation-course-A2-B1/

  [BEST LESSONS] - 20 Powerful Verbs to Supercharge Your Vocabulary! 08.05.2026 12min

  Download Lesson PDF: https://espressoenglish.lpages.co/free-pdf-20-powerful-verbs/  Let's replace weak verbs with stronger verbs! Each powerful verb in this list will improve your English vocabulary and fluency. One of the most common problems I hear among students who are already at an intermediate level of English is that they really want to have a rich vocabulary. You don't just want to use the same basic words over and over; you want to use interesting and powerful words. So today I'll teach you 20 interesting verbs that will supercharge your vocabulary. And that's actually a good example – I could say "improve your vocabulary" or "expand your vocabulary" but those are weaker verbs than the word "supercharge." This strong verb is so much more descriptive, it creates a mental picture of getting a huge boost in vocabulary power.
