0:35 Well, I want to help you and today you'll learn how to do that.

2:20 Thank you so much for joining me.

2:24 [laughter and gasps]

2:24 Uh I appreciate you taking the time, no matter what your time zone is,

2:27 to join us here and I think I think we've done it.

2:31 I think we have people from all over the world.

2:36 Success.

2:37 Incredible.

2:41 [laughter] Romania.

2:41 Hello, hello.

2:42 Oh, I saw up here as well.

2:45 We have Italy.

2:47 Hello.

2:48 Tunisia.

2:49 Hello.

2:51 Thank you so much.

2:52 I have a a couple questions for you today.

2:55 My second question, I want to know,

3:00 what is the hardest part about speaking English?

3:05 You've probably been learning English, well, at least for a few minutes.

3:09 [laughter] I imagine for a few years and something was not as you expected.

3:17 Maybe at the beginning you thought it would be no problem or maybe

3:21 you didn't even think about it because you were just a child.

3:24 You were learning English and still you are here

3:28 in 2026 trying to become a fluent English speaker.

3:33 Something has not been working.

3:35 So, tell me, what is the hardest part for you about learning English?

3:42 I know a lot of my students have told

3:44 me in the past that the difficulty in learning English,

3:49 especially speaking English, is having an opportunity to speak.

3:55 Maybe you don't live in an English-speaking

3:58 country surrounded by English speakers and also

4:02 a difficulty in speaking in English is simply having the confidence to speak.

4:09 But those things go hand in hand and today I'm

4:13 going to help you learn how you can find the confidence

4:16 so that you can find people to speak with and you

4:20 can speak with them regularly because if you feel like,

4:25 I can't do it, I'm too scared, I don't want to do it,

4:28 you're never going to take it to the next step,

4:30 which is actually connecting with other people and speaking together.

4:35 So, I want to help you with that.

4:37 Um and I'm curious uh to see what you have to say.

4:41 All right, we have the same idea here.

4:43 Low opportunity to speak.

4:47 [sighs and gasps] Yeah, that can be really tricky,

4:49 especially if you don't have a bunch of English-speaking friends.

4:53 Uh Sherwin says, "Understanding native speakers." Okay, so English is too fast.

4:58 It's difficult to understand.

5:02 Speaking and spelling some words for in English.

5:05 Got it.

5:06 Yes.

5:08 Pronunciation.

5:09 Yes.

5:10 And do you know what?

5:11 We're going to talk about all of these things today.

5:14 So, you have, as we say, hit the nail on the head.

5:19 [laughter] [gasps]

5:21 Um it's difficult for me to choose words that sound natural to native speakers.

5:25 Ah, okay.

5:26 I think this is a really common problem.

5:28 You are not alone.

5:30 A lot of English learners, pretty much everyone, right?

5:33 You started learning English in the classroom and when you first are a beginner,

5:39 beginner, beginner and you're learning, "Hello.

5:42 How are you?" You're learning just the foundation, right?

5:47 And it's okay to learn from a textbook in this type of old-fashioned way.

5:54 But the moment that you know a little bit more,

5:58 you need to be immersed in real-life English.

6:02 Just like here, I'm just speaking to you

6:04 as a native English speaker in a normal way.

6:08 And if you have not been immersed in real-life English

6:13 right away from the very beginning of your English journey,

6:17 you're going to have this problem.

6:18 You're not going to know which words sound natural,

6:21 which words are more textbook-y, and which words you actually need to use

6:27 in your daily life because we all have different personalities, right?

6:31 But we want to be able to express ourselves and good news is,

6:37 there are many different ways you can express yourself.

6:39 The bad news is, you have to find those words.

6:42 But don't worry.

6:43 We're going to talk about that today as well.

6:45 So, I would like to know,

6:48 how would your life change if you could speak English clearly and confidently?

6:56 If you had the words that you needed when you were about to speak?

7:00 If you had those speaking opportunities?

7:03 If you could use the pronunciation that you can't use now?

7:07 If you could speak more clearly and pronunciation was not a problem?

7:12 If you could practice, like you mentioned here,

7:14 spelling and you could practice uh being able to speak with confidence?

7:20 How would your life change?

7:21 Tell me about the wonderful things.

7:24 Dream about a world [sighs]

7:28 where you just open your mouth and you say,

7:30 "All right, today I can express myself clearly and confidently.

7:34 I've got this." What would that look like for you?

7:38 How would your life change?

7:42 Let me know.

7:44 Maybe I can visit the US.

7:47 That would be so cool.

7:48 And how much easier would it be for you to travel in the US

7:53 if you could speak smoothly and understand people with no stress, no hesitation.

7:59 That would be great.

8:01 Uh Sarah says, "I can speed up my professional career." Yes.

8:06 And the truth of the matter is, English is one of the most used languages,

8:13 if not the most used international language for business,

8:18 for educating yourself to improve within your field.

8:23 If you're a doctor, an engineer, a graphic designer, a construction worker,

8:30 most of this information is going to be in English.

8:34 it can absolutely help to open door of the world.

8:40 Yep, that says it all, right?

8:42 When you have a more fluent understanding of English,

8:47 you can speak confidently, clearly, you can understand fast English.

8:52 Uh we have a lovely expression, which is the world is my oyster.

8:58 I would love to know where this expression came from.

9:00 I do not know.

9:02 But it means the world is opening up like an oyster.

9:06 All of a sudden, you can have professional uh opportunities,

9:11 you can have travel opportunities, you can have connections around the world.

9:16 It's endless, right?

9:18 Uh I can connect all over the world smoothly.

9:22 Yes.

9:22 For people who like to travel, this is essential.

9:26 You do not need to travel to the US to use English.

9:29 If you have traveled to any other

9:31 country where you don't speak the native language,

9:34 you know English is important.

9:38 [laughter] If you are Japanese and you travel to Italy,

9:42 if you do not know Italian, are you going to speak to people in Japanese?

9:47 No, you're going to try to speak to them in English.

9:51 That's just the way of the world right now.

9:53 So, here the world is your oyster.

9:55 If you can speak in English, you can also visit Italy, not just the US.

10:01 [laughter] You can go to other places.

10:01 Of course, you should learn a little Italian, right, before you go?

10:07 [laughter] Um so, I would like to invite you to level up your English skills,

10:16 to step up and immerse yourself in real-life English,

10:21 not that textbook stuff that has not worked for you over the past many years,

10:27 however long you've been learning English, that has not been working.

10:30 And you have this opportunity in front of you,

10:33 this chance to be able to have more professional development,

10:38 be able to travel easily, to be able to see the world smoothly, like you said.

10:44 This is an opportunity if you join me in the Fearless Fluency Club.

10:50 This course, the Fearless Fluency Club, I have opened for almost 10 years now.

10:58 [laughter]

10:57 And there have been thousands of students, some of those you are about to see,

11:01 thousands of students who have been able

11:04 to successfully speak in English confidently, clearly, smoothly,

11:10 and been able to travel the world because their English skills

11:14 have given them the confidence to enjoy what is before them,

11:19 to enjoy going to other countries, to enjoy communicating professionally,

11:24 be able to express themselves exactly the way that they want.

11:28 And today I'm going to show you within

11:31 the Fearless Fluency Club how this is possible for you,

11:35 because maybe it works for other people,

11:37 but we want to know, can this work for you?

11:41 And I will tell you about a special discount in just a minute.

11:46 And if you want to see more about that, you're welcome

11:49 to click on the link speakenglishwithvanessa.com/live

11:53 to see more if you are anxious [laughter]

11:57 to see it ahead of time, that is no problem.

12:01 Um inside the Fearless Fluency Club,

12:04 there are some important things that will happen to you.

12:08 This is a transformation that will happen to you.

12:12 You will be able to express yourself more easily in English.

12:18 You'll be able to find the words that you want when you're having conversations.

12:24 The most important thing to me, as someone who leads a very busy life,

12:30 is you'll be able to do all of this without wasting time.

12:33 It's not going to take up 3, 4 hours of your day every single day.

12:40 You're not going to have to drive across the city,

12:44 wait in traffic after a long day of work, and then have your English lessons.

12:49 No, you can do this without wasting any time.

12:51 I'll show you how in just a minute.

12:53 And finally, you will learn to speak real English.

12:58 One of you mentioned that you have the the biggest difficulty

13:03 is knowing what to say that real native English speakers actually say.

13:09 And I think that is an excellent question.

13:12 What do real English speakers use that you can also use?

13:17 And here I'm telling you, I will show you exactly what that is.

13:23 We're going to go through the method that I use in the Fearless

13:27 Fluency Club that will help you to be able to speak real English.

13:33 Uh I want to introduce you to a couple of my students today.

13:36 There are some very special people close to my heart [laughter]

13:41 who have shared their opinions about the Fearless Fluency Club,

13:46 including lovely Ildiko.

13:47 She said, "This course is fantastic.

13:49 I like the most that you teach us real English." That's the goal, right?

13:54 You want to learn real English.

13:56 And of course, lovely Yuko said,

13:58 "I think there's no other course which deals with real

14:01 conversations of ordinary people." You

14:05 can study online conversations of politicians,

14:11 TED Talks, these types of presentations,

14:14 but what about real conversations between real people,

14:19 ordinary people, as Yuko said?

14:21 We are mere ordinary people.

14:24 This is the substance of life, right?

14:27 This is what we do with our friends,

14:30 with our co-workers when we're eating dinner together.

14:33 Maybe you're going to go out to dinner with some clients.

14:37 What's going to happen there?

14:38 You You might give a little presentation, but most of the conversation is going

14:43 to be just a real-life conversation amongst normal people.

14:48 So, this is something that you need to practice.

14:51 You need to make sure that you have

14:53 the skills to be able to have those real-life conversations.

14:57 And Ildiko and Yuko have said that exactly.

15:00 I love that.

15:01 And Heli, lovely Heli from Mexico, she said,

15:04 "This is the best course I've ever had.

15:07 I like the way you teach, and now I feel confident to talk in English." She

15:11 also said in there she had a little bit of difficulty,

15:15 "I had never seen much progress

15:17 in my speaking skills." This can be very frustrating.

15:21 "Until I found you on YouTube and followed you for a few months,

15:23 then I subscribed to your course." And this is the truth, right?

15:27 You probably have taken some English classes,

15:29 maybe you watch tons of English YouTube videos,

15:33 but it can be really frustrating when you reach

15:36 a certain level because you don't see as much progress anymore,

15:40 and maybe that self-study type of method can only help you so far.

15:46 Then you need to be guided to know what is the next step,

15:50 and you need to do that together.

15:52 I'll show you how we can do that together in just a minute.

15:57 Um before we go on, I want to ask you a question.

15:59 How long have you been learning English?

16:03 Tell me, has it been 2 months?

16:06 Pretty impressive if you can already understand me.

16:10 [laughter] Have you been learning English for 10 years?

16:12 30 years?

16:14 2 years?

16:15 Tell me in the comments how long you have been learning English.

16:20 I want to see what we have here because if you are learning

16:26 English and still trying to figure out what is the method for you,

16:31 what can help you to actually become a confident English speaker,

16:36 I imagine you're a motivated person, you are dedicated,

16:40 and you are willing to push through hardship.

16:44 You have not found methods that have worked for you before,

16:47 but you're not giving up, you're still trying.

16:50 This is excellent.

16:51 This is the key [laughter] to actually improving your English when you're

16:56 dedicated to finding what works for you.

16:59 So, I want to see how long have you been learning English?

17:03 2 years?

17:04 Great.

17:05 6 months?

17:06 7 years?

17:07 Lovely.

17:09 10 years?

17:12 1 year?

17:15 For 10 years, but no improvement.

17:18 This is what I'm talking about.

17:19 This can be really frustrating.

17:21 10 years is a pretty long time, right?

17:24 And if you feel like you improved a little at the beginning,

17:28 and then it's just been this plateau, you need to do something different.

17:32 And I would like to invite you to find that within the Fearless Fluency Club.

17:39 I have spent the last 10 years developing this course

17:43 to make it so that you can speak English confidently,

17:48 fluently, and feel so supported along the way.

17:54 So, what I would like to do is

17:56 introduce you to how the Fearless Fluency Club works.

17:59 So, pay attention carefully because we are going

18:02 to see if this method can work for you.

18:05 We're going to talk about the conversation breakdown method.

18:11 The conversation breakdown method is this proven

18:14 method that I have developed over

18:16 the last 10 years to help you be able to speak like real English speakers,

18:23 to take conversations between real English speakers, break it down,

18:28 which means take it into little pieces so that you

18:32 can also use that when you have real conversations.

18:36 And of course, there will be an opportunity

18:38 to use what you've learned within the course.

18:41 So, let's take you through the four steps of the conversation breakdown method.

18:48 Step number one is this.

18:50 You're going to watch a real English conversation.

18:55 Let's do this for a moment.

19:03 You're going to watch a real English conversation,

19:07 and this will happen every single month.

19:10 You will immerse yourself in how real English speakers speak together.

19:15 Now, if you can understand me in my YouTube videos, that's a great base,

19:20 but you know as well as I do that when you watch a TV show

19:25 or when you go out into the real world and try to speak with other people,

19:30 it's very different, right?

19:32 Because you need to level that up,

19:34 not just English teacher Vanessa speaking, you need to add more people,

19:40 you need to add more complex topics,

19:42 and this will help to prepare you for real conversations in the real world.

19:48 So, in the Fearless Fluency Club, every single month,

19:51 you will be immersed in a new real-life conversation.

19:56 You have access to all 40 of these fascinating topics.

20:00 Um but, we're going to focus on one each month.

20:03 If you are the extra motivated type,

20:07 you can study as many as you want on day one.

20:13 [laughter] But, we will study one per month.

20:14 And these are topics such as uh being a paramedic in the hospital,

20:20 talking about music, being a musician,

20:24 talking about meditation, about health care.

20:28 All of these topics, these are not just the basic conversations.

20:32 These are real-life conversations.

20:35 So, first, we're going to focus on these real conversation topics.

20:42 The second step is you are going to study the vocabulary,

20:45 phrasal verbs, and pronunciation that were used within that conversation.

20:52 So, these are not random vocabulary words,

20:55 random phrasal verbs, random pronunciation points.

20:59 No, no, no.

21:01 We are focusing on real-life English.

21:03 So, we are going to take vocabulary that was used from the conversation.

21:08 Take phrasal verbs and pronunciation that were used within that conversation

21:14 so that you can speak exactly like that real conversation.

21:19 This is the goal, to teach you exactly how real native speakers speak.

21:24 Step number three is you're going to quiz yourself.

21:28 I love a little low-pressure test, right?

21:33 [laughter] High-pressure tests are high-pressure.

21:34 But, you are going to quiz yourself

21:37 on the new expressions and phrasal verbs that you've learned.

21:40 See if you can remember them.

21:42 Give yourself a little challenge because step number four is coming.

21:50 [sighs] But before I tell you about it, I want to ask you a question.

21:54 Tell me.

21:56 Have you ever had a difficult time staying motivated to learn English?

22:03 Let me know in the comments.

22:07 When you have a long-term goal, like becoming a fluent English speaker,

22:13 do you think your journey is like this?

22:17 I will make a resolution, 2026.

22:20 I will speak fluent English by December 31st, 2026.

22:25 And your journey is just going to be like this the whole time,

22:28 up up up up up up up.

22:30 You'll be so motivated.

22:31 Every day you'll wake up and say, "Oh, it's a great day to learn English."

22:39 [laughter] Have you ever had difficulty staying motivated?

22:43 Uh yes, sometimes I struggle to stay motivated.

22:47 You're not alone.

22:48 But I remind myself why learning English is important and I keep practicing.

22:52 I love that.

22:53 So, if you ever need an extra boost to stay motivated,

22:59 this is why I would love to introduce you

23:02 to step number four of the conversation breakdown method.

23:07 Are you ready?

23:09 Step number four, you can join our community for weekly live lessons.

23:15 Every Sunday, I have a live-streamed lesson within our community.

23:23 Every Fearless Fluency Club student is welcome to join.

23:27 And this is a place where you will learn live.

23:30 You will be able to ask me any questions and get immediate feedback.

23:35 And you can stay motivated on a weekly basis.

23:39 I am here to answer your questions, but also to encourage you.

23:43 I know this power of having a guide, a teacher, someone to lead the way.

23:50 So, every single week, this is step number four,

23:52 you can join me for our weekly live-streamed lessons.

23:57 I'm very excited about this.

23:59 I have been doing this weekly lesson for almost 10 years,

24:04 every single week, every single Sunday.

24:08 And I am very happy to uh continue to do this.

24:14 In fact, I want to share with you what our lovely student Ava,

24:19 anyone who is in the Fearless Fluency Club probably knows.

24:23 Ava, thank you, Ava, for your lovely comments.

24:26 Uh she said, "Uh last but not least, I'd like to talk about the live lessons.

24:30 These are the most exciting, most vivid,

24:32 and most useful parts of the whole course.

24:35 It's more than just listening to explanations.

24:37 It's connecting with others in the group, thinking together,

24:41 and participating in a live event every single week.

24:44 You can ask Vanessa your questions and get your feedback immediately.

24:48 If you can't join online, you can rewatch it.

24:50 I recommend you give it a try.

24:52 The Fearless Fluency Club is totally worth it.

24:54 With love, Ava." Oh, thank you, Ava.

24:57 And I think this is absolutely true that when

25:00 you're participating in a live event, we are human.

25:04 We need connection.

25:05 We need to be able to be there, even if it's virtually live together.

25:12 This is essential to help us continue going.

25:16 And I have a feeling you will also

25:18 love the weekly live-streamed lessons, just like Ava.

25:23 [laughter] And before we go on to our next point, I want to shout out.

25:32 We have a few students who have joined the Fearless Fluency Club.

25:38 Uh if you would like to join Ava in the Fearless Fluency Club,

26:34 This is your chance.

26:35 Tell me, when was the last time you had a real conversation in English?

26:42 I don't mean a "Hi, how are you doing?" That's not a full conversation, right?

26:49 I mean a real conversation.

26:52 Because you're here to speak English, right?

26:56 Speak English with Vanessa.

26:57 It's in the name.

26:59 [laughter]

26:59 So, I want to know, when was the last time you had a real conversation?

27:03 Because the only way to improve your speaking skills is to speak.

27:09 You guessed it.

27:11 [laughter]

27:11 So, I want to know, when was the last time you had a real English conversation?

27:15 Does it happen often?

27:16 Tell me in the comments.

27:19 Oh, I see we have a never.

27:20 Never had a real English conversation.

27:23 You got this.

27:25 Last week.

27:26 Excellent.

27:27 Excellent.

27:29 Last Christmas.

27:32 Uh a couple weeks ago.

27:36 Five months ago with my foreign friend.

27:39 Love it.

27:40 Last month.

27:42 Today.

27:44 That's wonderful.

27:48 Never.

27:49 Oh.

27:52 Yes, so Sergey.

27:53 Sergey says, "Weekly live classes." So, I want to tell you,

27:56 so the weekly live classes, there's two options.

27:59 One option is the Sunday live stream with me.

28:03 The second I'm about to tell you about.

28:06 You will be very excited to hear about this.

28:11 The bonus within this course is there are weekly speaking groups.

28:16 You can speak with other members every single week.

28:20 In fact, some people speak every single day together.

28:23 [laughter] But you can grow

28:24 your confidence and actually have real-life conversations.

28:29 There are incredibly kind, friendly,

28:33 lovely people within the Fearless Fluency Club

28:37 that are waiting to speak with you.

28:39 Some groups meet every single week.

28:42 Some groups meet twice a week.

28:45 And there is a group that meets every single Sunday.

28:48 And I'm the leader of this group,

28:51 so I will introduce you to the other

28:54 people and give you the structure for the call, and you will speak together.

28:59 You will break out into rooms of four or five people,

29:03 and you will speak together.

29:05 Because how can you improve your speaking skills?

29:07 You have to do it.

29:09 You have to get yourself outside your comfort zone.

29:12 And I tell my students again and again

29:15 that if you feel nervous about speaking in English,

29:19 first of all, this is very common.

29:21 It is incredibly human to feel nervous about doing something,

29:26 especially for the first time.

29:28 But, it's even though it's common, you need to push yourself a bit.

29:34 You need to try.

29:36 Don't just jump into a boardroom and give a huge presentation in English.

29:40 That's too much at the beginning, right?

29:42 What you need to do is you need to take the first step up.

29:46 The first step up is to speak with other English learners.

29:50 In this way, everyone understands exactly how you feel, that nervousness,

29:55 the mistakes, all of it, and they will be patient.

29:59 The next step is when you speak

30:00 with a native English speaker and you're testing those skills,

30:04 then you can speak with multiple people, and then you can give a presentation.

30:09 But if you jump right to that level, it's going to be too overwhelming and you

30:14 might just end up quitting because it's too frustrating.

30:17 So here I want to present you with that first

30:20 step where you can have weekly speaking groups,

30:23 make friends from around the world, and speak together.

30:27 Um I think that you would really love this.

30:31 And uh many friends would enjoy this.

30:35 Would enjoy meeting you as well.

30:38 Um our lovely friend Elaine has been part of the Fearless Fluency Club

30:42 for a long time and she joins the weekly speaking groups and she said,

30:48 "What surprised me even more was the wonderful community and the opportunity

30:54 to meet and interact with so many friends around the world.

30:58 Love it." This allows us to feel motivated and gung-ho about learning English.

31:04 Gung-ho was one of the phrases that we were learning that month.

31:09 [laughter] So this helps her to stay motivated, make friends,

31:12 make connections because we are not isolated

31:15 in our own bubble in the world, right?

31:18 We are connected with other people and we need that.

31:21 That's what's going to motivate you.

31:24 Even though it can be [sighs and gasps]

31:26 a little bit challenging at the beginning, we're here for you.

31:30 The second bonus also has to do with giving you speaking practice.

31:36 When you join the Fearless Fluency Club, you can join with the link over here.

31:41 I see that.

31:42 speakenglishwithvanessa.com/live.

31:45 When you join the Fearless Fluency Club,

31:48 you will get 1 month free access to my new app, Speak with Vanessa AI.

31:55 It is so cool.

31:59 [laughter]

31:58 In this app, you will be able to speak with AI Vanessa.

32:01 She has been trained with my teaching skills, my personality,

32:06 and you will be able to speak with her 24/7,

32:11 no judgment, no embarrassment, make as many mistakes as you want.

32:15 Technically, no one is listening.

32:18 So you can have as much speaking practice as you want.

32:22 There are even exercises from the Fearless Fluency Club within the app

32:27 so that you can seamlessly practice exactly what you've been learning.

32:30 You can study the vocabulary, study the real-life conversation,

32:35 and then go to the app and be

32:37 able to have conversations about what you've learned.

32:40 When you use exactly what you've learned,

32:44 you'll be able to remember it and retain it better.

32:47 Um so within the app, we have progress streaks,

32:50 we have a leaderboards to see who has the most vocabulary growth.

32:56 You can have corrections within the app.

33:00 It is so cool.

33:00 So this is a bonus within the Fearless Fluency Club,

33:04 and you can use this either on your phone or on the computer, just as a bonus.

33:11 And I want to tell you what lovely [laughter] Zoltan said.

33:15 He said, "Wow, we me and my girlfriend

33:17 just tried it out and we are totally amazed.

33:20 It's really great that you, Vanessa, always ask back.

33:24 Therefore, keep the conversations alive and interesting.

33:27 I like your reactions and answers.

33:29 It seems like a real human conversation.

33:31 I will use it as much as I can.

33:33 Congratulations for this AI project and thank you.

33:36 It's going to be very useful to me." I'm so glad.

33:40 I think that this bonus will be very useful to you as well,

33:44 especially if you really lack the speaking opportunities.

33:49 This is a great opportunity, along with our weekly speaking groups,

33:53 for you to be able to explode your speaking skills this year,

33:58 to really be able to become a fluent English speaker,

34:01 the more opportunities that you have.

34:05 And finally, bonus number three in the Fearless Fluency Club

34:11 is something that I started um about a year ago.

34:17 It is very exciting.

34:18 A lot of my students say that this is one of their favorite parts.

34:24 [laughter] And it is daily English lessons sent to you by email.

34:28 So this way, you will have a bite-sized lessons

34:32 that you can digest and you can study in little snippets.

34:37 We call these 5-minute English.

34:40 5-minute English lessons sent to you by email.

34:44 And I think that my student Kim summed it up very well.

34:48 She said, "Dear Vanessa,

34:49 thank you a lot for your new idea of sending 5-minute daily emails to us.

34:53 I don't have much time, so 5 minutes a day fits my schedule perfectly.

34:58 Hope you continue sending us emails like this." And Mio at the bottom said,

35:03 "Yeah, it's so cool.

35:04 It reminds me to keep studying.

35:06 Thank you, teacher." I think this is what we need, right?

35:08 We need to be reminded, but we also need effective lessons.

35:15 So when you can have something that fits your daily life,

35:18 like Kim, if you are busy,

35:19 like Kim, if you're busy, like me, you need something that fits your daily life.

35:24 Commuting across town [laughter]

35:27 to go to an English lesson for 1 hour once a week, it might fit someone's life.

35:32 It doesn't fit my life.

35:33 That's too much for me to handle.

35:36 But for you, you can fit this in to your daily life.

35:42 My lovely student Simone said, "Hi Vanessa,

35:44 I really like the Fearless Fluency Club because I can know

35:47 new friends around the world." She joins our weekly Zoom calls.

35:52 Learn new words and new interesting cultures.

35:55 So here you have the opportunity to meet people,

35:58 not just the people on the Zoom calls,

36:00 but also meet the speakers from the real-life conversations.

36:05 You're able to get to know other cultures, share your culture as well,

36:10 and this is something that's very valuable for everybody in the group.

36:14 We can travel through you, learn about your country,

36:17 and you're doing this all in English.

36:19 So you are immersing yourself in English.

36:23 Wonderful.

36:25 Uh let me give you some more details about what is inside the course.

36:32 Let's do.

36:35 Let's do this.

36:37 Uh I'm going to give you some more details about what's inside the course,

36:40 but I want to let you know that if you

36:42 decide to join the Fearless Fluency Club with me right now,

36:47 we are having a $190 off discount.

36:52 This is a 45% off discount because it is the beginning of 2026.

36:59 I want you to have all the lessons you need for the entire year.

37:04 This is an annual subscription, which means you will only pay once and you will

37:10 have all the lessons you need for the entire year.

37:13 If you want to continue, you can join us again next January.

37:18 It will renew next January.

37:20 That's your choice, no problem.

37:22 And you will be able to have all the lessons you need for the entire year.

37:28 For me, I love making New Year's resolutions.

37:31 Sometimes I feel hesitant because I often break them,

37:34 but if I have a New Year's resolution that I really want to make,

37:38 I try to put something in place to help me achieve that.

37:43 Maybe it's an alarm that will help me remember to work out.

37:48 [gasps] Maybe it's going for a walk with a friend

37:49 so that I can have accountability while I work out.

37:52 And maybe for you, this could mean that you are

37:55 joining our course so that you can become fluent in English.

37:59 You have the support of a community, you have the support of me as your teacher,

38:04 and you are taking a step to do something different

38:07 than you've done before because sometimes the ways that we've

38:12 tried in the past just don't work out or they

38:15 worked for a time and now they're not working anymore.

38:18 So I want you to be able to have the support

38:21 and the guidance that you need so that at the end of this year,

38:26 you are a new English speaker.

38:28 How cool would that be?

38:30 So let's take a look and see what is inside the course.

38:35 Inside the course, you're going to get 235.

38:38 Now there's actually a little more than this.

38:40 It's like 240, 250 real-life English lessons.

38:45 These include conversation lessons,

38:48 vocabulary lessons, grammar lessons, pronunciation lessons.

38:52 Uh we're going to take a look inside the course.

38:54 You'll see this in just a minute as well.

38:56 You'll get over 188 study quizzes to be able to guide

39:01 you through the material and weekly live stream lessons with me.

39:06 This is more than you need really for an entire year and you will walk with me

39:11 step by step to be able to achieve those goals so that you will be transformed.

39:18 I would love that for you.

39:19 I would love to see you go from January 2026 you to December 2026 you,

39:27 and there you are at the end of the year.

39:29 Speaking English, no problem.

39:31 Wouldn't that be awesome?

39:33 Well, let's take a look for just a minute.

39:36 I'm going to show you inside the Fearless Fluency Club.

39:42 Would you like to see a sneak peek inside the course?

39:46 I would love to show you that.

39:52 All right, let's do that.

39:54 So, here we are inside the Fearless Fluency Club.

39:58 This is our tutorials section, but you will be guided by me to help

40:06 you know step-by-step how to use this course.

40:11 We have our 2026 study plan.

40:14 These are the modules we will be studying.

40:19 [gasps] And you will be able to join our community.

40:22 This is essential, right?

40:23 So, that you can actually speak with us.

40:28 And you can claim your free month of Vanessa AI.

40:34 Here we have all the information you need.

40:37 And at any time you can cancel your membership.

40:40 This is absolutely no problem.

40:43 There's no penalty and we are here for you to make it as easy as possible.

40:48 So, let's take a look at one of these modules.

40:51 This month we are studying tattoos.

40:57 Let's take a look here.

41:00 How about this one?

41:04 All right, here we have a lesson about a wonderful city, San Diego.

41:08 Within this lesson, this is what we study for 1 month.

41:13 Within this lesson, you will see a lesson guide.

41:19 This is like a mini textbook.

41:22 It's going to walk you through everything

41:25 that you're going to learn in these video lessons.

41:29 So, let's take a look at the conversation.

41:33 The entire course here is based on the conversation lesson.

41:39 In this lesson, we're going to meet in San Diego

41:46 and she's going to tell us all of the different cultural tips,

41:51 some of the ideas about why she,

41:54 you can see here, why she moved to the city and the vocabulary that she uses,

42:00 we are going to be studying in the vocabulary lesson.

42:05 So, let's go over to the vocabulary lesson.

42:08 There are two parts.

42:10 You can study this over two different days.

42:13 And within the vocabulary lesson, you're going to meet my husband Dan and he

42:18 is going to be participating in this lesson

42:21 with me so that you can hear a different

42:23 perspective and a different way of approaching vocabulary.

42:29 We are going to chit-chat about each of the words and this is

42:33 going to help you hear not just the definitions and sample sentences,

42:39 but we are going to tell stories using the words.

42:42 We are going to give our own explanations and this type of chit-chat,

42:49 this type of immersive way to learn vocabulary is extremely effective

42:55 because you are connecting with how we talk about the expressions.

43:00 You're not just memorizing a list,

43:04 you're hearing Dan's story about when he would

43:07 use this word himself or we laugh together.

43:10 You can laugh with us.

43:12 This is an excellent way to be able to naturally remember what you've learned.

43:17 So, if you enjoy the conversation lessons on my YouTube channel,

43:21 this is absolutely something you will love.

43:23 And at the bottom here, you can always download the audio version of the lesson.

43:30 This is something that a lot of students who have a long commute enjoy.

43:35 They listen to the lessons while they're driving or on the train.

43:39 And you're welcome to take a quiz as well.

43:42 Um we can take a look at the grammar lesson

43:44 and within the grammar lesson Dan and I explain the phrasal verbs,

43:51 but there is also a special extra material section.

43:55 In this extra materials Oops.

44:03 phrasal verbs that you read about.

44:04 A lot of students enjoy this because when you watch movies and TV shows,

44:08 it can be really tricky to understand what people are saying,

44:11 but in the grammar section, we study movies and TV shows to help you

44:16 be able to hear the phrases that they're actually using.

44:20 So, this can boost your listening skills as well.

44:22 So, I explain them and then we also watch these clips and we

44:26 try to analyze and understand the nuance behind all of the clips.

44:33 And we have here our pronunciation lesson.

44:35 I know some of you mentioned pronunciation

44:37 is something that is difficult for you.

44:40 Well, I am pleased to say that in the pronunciation lesson,

44:44 we use what has been proven to be

44:47 the most effective pronunciation tool for improving your speaking,

44:54 improving your clarity,

44:56 improving the the cadence of your voice and that is shadowing.

45:03 So, here we are going to focus on one sentence.

45:05 You can see that sentence here and we

45:07 will break down using the conversation breakdown method,

45:11 we will break down this sentence into every single sound.

45:17 We will go through the phrase and we will make sure that you

45:21 can pronounce it exactly the way that it was pronounced in the conversation.

45:25 All of the connections, all of the cut-off sounds,

45:29 all of the tricky sounds for English learners,

45:33 we will go through them step-by-step.

45:35 And by really repeating like this and repeating after my voice,

45:39 you'll be able to speak that way as well and improve your pronunciation.

45:44 You will notice, I guarantee,

45:47 you will notice all of these pronunciation sounds as you're watching

45:51 movies and TV shows because we go over it in such detail.

45:55 Okay, enough about that.

45:57 I want to show you a very fun little bonus as well.

46:00 Um at the end of each month, you can study the story.

46:04 Now, the story is a review of everything that you've learned, the vocabulary,

46:11 the grammar, the pronunciation and it is

46:14 from There's a little extra vocabulary as well.

46:17 It is based on the topic of the month.

46:20 This is a story that my husband Dan writes.

46:23 He is very proud of it and many students think it is hilarious.

46:28 [laughter] He tries to make it quite funny.

46:29 I think this story is about uh going to the ocean and a fish starts to speak.

46:46 It is uh you got going to the ocean in [laughter]

46:51 uh oh yes, Sharice is no longer standing on the beach,

46:53 but standing on the water with her hair

46:55 blowing wildly in the wind like a sea witch.

46:58 Prepare to meet your maker, she yelled maniacally.

47:00 Vanessa screamed and jumped off her surfboard falling through the waves.

47:04 Yes, as you can see, Dan has a lot of fun.

47:09 [laughter] A lot of fun writing those and uh I

47:11 think that this is something how many students also enjoy

47:16 taking a look at trying to just review everything

47:22 that you've learned and have a good time with it.

47:26 So, um I would like to tell you a few other things,

47:29 but before I do, uh I want to say hello.

50:45 And while you are thinking of any questions, maybe that's about English,

50:51 maybe that's about the Fearless Fluency Club, feel free to ask me.

50:55 I am really here live.

50:57 It's me.

50:59 Let me know if you have any questions and I

51:01 want to answer a few that I get commonly asked.

51:05 Who is the Fearless Fluency Club for?

51:08 I will tell you first who it is not for.

51:12 First of all, if you cannot understand this lesson,

51:18 this speaking level that I'm doing, the course is not for you.

51:23 If it's really, really, really hard for you to understand me right now,

51:27 then [snorts] this course is not for you.

51:30 If you are an I guess if you cannot understand

51:35 this, but also if you are a pretty low beginner, this course is not for you.

51:39 This is for higher beginners, intermediate and advanced English learners.

51:45 If you are not willing to spend some money to improve your English,

51:51 then this course is not for you.

51:53 By definition, it is a course.

51:55 So, this is something that you have to pay for.

51:58 I have over 600 free lessons here on YouTube.

52:01 If you are not able to pay to learn English,

52:05 you are welcome to learn English for free with me here on YouTube.

52:08 It is my pleasure to be able to provide that for you.

52:12 And if you, on the other side, if you can understand my voice,

52:20 but you have some difficulties understanding movies and TV shows,

52:25 you feel pretty hesitant when you have conversations in English,

52:29 maybe you have no opportunities to have conversations in English.

52:33 If you have been studying English for a long time and it's just not working.

52:39 Maybe you have reached a certain level and you don't

52:42 know what to do to get to the next level.

52:44 The Fearless Fluency Club has been going for almost 10 years.

52:48 It has been proven to be successful for many students,

52:51 as you saw from their comments today,

52:54 and I hope that this is something that can be working for you as well.

52:59 Um Let me show you one other common question.

53:03 Um some students ask, "What is your refund policy?" So,

53:08 for all the Speak English with Vanessa courses,

53:11 including the Fearless Fluency Club,

53:13 we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions.

53:18 All you need to do is purchase the course,

53:21 send me an email and say, "I would like a refund." Boom, boom, boom.

53:26 Then we will send it back to you.

53:28 No problem.

53:29 I want to make sure that you can join, try it out,

53:32 have very low risk because you want to see for yourself, can this work for you?

53:38 And maybe it won't work for you, you can get a refund.

53:41 That's totally fine.

53:43 But, I am pretty certain that you will love the real English conversations,

53:49 you'll love the weekly live streams, you'll love connecting with other students.

53:53 This is something that has worked for so many students

53:56 and I want to see it work for you as well.

54:00 So, if you have any questions for me,

54:02 then I would like to be able to answer those.

54:05 Oh, I see one wonderful question here.

54:09 Um Fred says, "What can I expect by following your lessons?

54:12 I'm B2 and I'd like to know which level I can expect to reach." Um so,

54:17 if you follow all of my lessons,

54:19 if you like study the video lessons, follow the conversation breakdown method,

54:25 you study with the quizzes,

54:26 you join the weekly live stream call and you speak, especially that's the key,

54:32 speak with other people in weekly speaking groups,

54:35 you can absolutely level up one level or two levels.

54:40 This is especially by speaking exceedingly common.

54:45 I want you to be able to um move from B2,

54:50 which is high intermediate, you already have a good level,

54:54 but you probably don't have that confidence,

55:00 that ability to just jump into any conversation and just do it, right?

55:05 When you're at B2, you have a good level of vocabulary.

55:09 It might not all be vocabulary that people use in real life,

55:13 but you have a pretty good level of vocabulary,

55:15 you have a really good understanding of grammar and all of this, but you

55:20 need to get off that plateau and get up to an advanced level, right?

55:25 So, by actually immersing yourself like this course in real life conversations,

55:32 having those conversations yourself,

55:35 this is what's going to boost you up to the next level.

55:38 Now, having said that, if your goal is to just pass the exam

55:45 to get to C1 or pass the exam to get to C2,

55:49 if that is your only goal, I just want to pass the exam,

55:54 you don't really care about actually having real conversations in English,

55:59 I recommend not joining this course.

56:02 If your goal is to pass an exam to get to the next level,

56:07 if your goal is to take like the IELTS exam or the CFR, those types of exams,

56:14 you need to study specifically the course material or the the exam material.

56:20 You need to study the exam material,

56:21 the the test-taking style you need to study.

56:25 So, I do have a couple students who say, "You know what?

56:29 I just want to pass the test because my work requires it.

56:32 I don't really need to have conversation skills." Okay,

56:37 this course is not for you.

56:38 This course is really to help you level up your real life skills.

56:42 So, that's kind of the the caveat.

56:46 [snorts] [cough and clears throat] Um Great question here.

56:50 I have English level B2,

56:51 but I learned British English and I want to speak American English.

56:55 Um but I want the course live.

56:58 Do you have any email?

56:59 I want to send an email.

57:00 Yes, first of all, you can send me an email anytime,

57:03 contact@speakenglishwithvanessa.com.

57:07 That's my email address.

57:08 You can ask me any questions there.

57:10 But, this course specifically focuses on American English.

57:13 Almost all, there's one person who is a British

57:18 English speaker who appears in the lessons one time.

57:25 But, this course focuses on American English.

57:29 The speakers are Americans.

57:32 I'm an American, my husband's an American.

57:34 You will be immersed in American English accents,

57:37 American English vocabulary, and all of those nuances.

57:41 Occasionally, we mention, "Oh,

57:42 actually this is different in British English." Sometimes we

57:45 talk about that because we're English teachers, that's fun, right?

57:48 And it's useful to know, but it specifically focuses on American English.

57:53 Um the question here about um I want to do it live.

58:00 There are a couple things that you can do live.

58:03 So, the videos, the video lessons, you can watch these at any time.

58:08 These are recorded and you can study the conversation,

58:12 the vocabulary, the phrasal verbs,

58:14 the pronunciation, what we saw inside the course,

58:16 you can study that at any time.

58:19 You have unlimited access inside the course to study those videos.

58:24 There are live elements,

58:26 live options such as you can join me every Sunday for my live stream lesson.

58:32 This is live, just like I'm live right now.

58:36 And you can join weekly speaking groups.

58:40 Those are live.

58:41 You will be able to speak with real people together.

58:45 And for me, I think this is exceedingly motivating.

58:48 Also very fun.

58:49 Sometimes a little scary the first time you do it, but really effective.

58:55 [laughter]

58:55 Um so, if any of you would like to join me in the Fearless Fluency Club,
