In the English language, many words sound or look alike but they have completely different meanings. These are called homonyms. They are a reason for many mistakes, even for those who speak the language rather well. Confusion with such words can interfere with both spoken and written communication, so it’s important to be able to distinguish between them and express yourself clearly.

Our course will help you understand 16 of the most commonly confused word pairs. Each pair comes with audio so you can hear the differences in pronunciation, as well as explanations. We use the method of associations to make it easier and more interesting to remember the differences.

After memorizing, we will practice the distinction between homonyms through interactive exercises, while flashcards will help reinforce the correct spelling and pronunciation.

1. You learn ready-made phrases and expressions, not separate words and constructions, detached from reality.
2. You remember all words in context. That is why you will start using them in your speech sooner, and they will not remain passive.
3. You get used to perceiving the natural language by ear, and later you will not be shocked by the variety of accents of the speakers.

However, learning English with a native speaker right from the start can cause stress.

That is why we have created a conversational English course. This course is based on the spontaneous speech of native speakers, but at the same time, it is suitable for the pre-intermediate level. It will not replace a complex approach and will not give you basic grammar, but it will fully provide you with spoken English you need.
