So if you still can't pronounce that English interdental s or don't understand the difference between long and short i - don't panic. Everything is fine with your jaw. Your English will sound melodious and authentic with a little explanation, practice, and good examples.

Thirteen lessons with video explanations, examples from media headlines and tabloids, and many valuable tips await you in the course.

In the world around us, there's always something annoying.

Your phone dies just when you need it the most. A blizzard is raging outside, and you have to step out into the cold. And as if that’s not enough, your boss at work is adding fuel to the fire. But how do you express your frustration in English?

In this booyya course, you’ll learn 12 different ways to express your displeasure in English – no more “I don’t like it”! We understand your frustration, so we’ll help you master the nuances of anger and the subtleties of irritation.

• I hate it when... 
• I hate that you...
• I'm sick of...
• I’m fed up with…
   

Add some vibrant phrases to your vocabulary that will help you express your emotions in any situation. This short course from booyya is your next step toward mastering English.

Your successful communication depends on the ability to skillfully agree with the person you are talking to. Moreover, it depends on how well you can disagree with them.

This course will teach you how to express agreement and disagreement in English. How not to sound rude denying the idea? How not to sound silly being a yes man? 

English is not just vocabulary and grammar. It`s a means of communication! 

Knowledge is worth nothing if it doesn`t help you to understand other people.

For sure, you are not being rude on purpose. Stripes on trousers, eating sunflower seeds sitting on crouch, and rudeness - it’s not your thing. But when you switch to English, those stripes on your trousers triple. It all happens because being polite in English and being polite in Ukrainian are two different politenesses. 

If you speak English as if you spoke your mother tongue, you’ll sound rather rude. So how to?

Good to know, saying please in a request is impolite. And if you know the answer to the question, you can’t say I do not know. And adjectives with negative connotations are meant to be rephrased. And a couple of other nuances. 

All that you will cover within one short course. Learn English not for speaking but for communicating.

Why is learning English from movies a great idea?

First, lively, modern, colloquial vocabulary. Not from a textbook, not from a list of "all words on the topic of furniture", but common words and phrases that speakers use in everyday life. Secondly, you learn new words in context. Which greatly increases your chances of starting to use these words in your English speech. The next argument is that a movie is a great listening exercise. You learn to perceive English by ear and also remember the correct sounding of words. After all, an interesting movie is the best motivation to practise English. Well, who should be persuaded to watch Harry Potter?

But imagine you had exercises, a list of new words and a test for that movie. It would be perfect! That's why we created this course for you - to make learning English with an interesting film comfortable and effective.

Step into the world of job success with our specialized online course, meticulously designed to prepare you for English job interviews. This self-study program, perfect for both non-native and native English speakers, is your key to unlocking a world of professional opportunities. Through a blend of expertly curated content and interactive learning experiences, you will not only master the language but also the nuances of successful interviewing. This course equips you with the skills to articulate your strengths, answer challenging questions with poise, and leave a lasting impression on your potential employers. Whether you're aiming for your first job, a significant career leap, or a position in an international firm, our course is tailored to turn your aspirations into achievements.

Here are the top 3 reasons why learning English with a native speaker is a good idea:

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.
