At an One of the biggest challenges in becoming proficient in a language is mastering all the little details. At an advanced level, students are expected to discuss a variety of topics in depth, using topic-specific vocabulary, phrases, and collocations—skills that English exams also test.

Most students feel comfortable talking about familiar topics, such as their hobbies, jobs, and areas of expertise. However, when faced with unfamiliar subjects, they often struggle. This is because opportunities to practice discussing diverse topics in everyday life can be limited. Friends, language exchange partners, and even tutors may hesitate to engage in these conversations, making it difficult to build confidence in new areas.

How Get Speaking English Helps

Get Speaking English focuses on each topic for an extended period—usually a month or two—providing exam-style questions, useful vocabulary, and ideas for responding. This approach helps students learn new words and phrases in context.

Structured speaking activities, conversation classes, and live lessons give learners the opportunity to explore topics in depth. These activities demonstrate how native English speakers discuss various subjects while offering plenty of practice opportunities.

To reinforce learning, current topics are integrated with previously covered ones. This method allows students to review, deepen their knowledge, and experiment with new vocabulary over time. By stepping outside their comfort zones, learners develop the skills needed to succeed in both real-life conversations and exams.

In addition to free activities, one-on-one and group lessons are available for those looking for more personalized guidance. For any questions, feel free to get in touch!

Who is Axl?

My name is Axl T. Ernst, and I've been helping students improve their English since 2018. You're welcome to follow along as I explore topics that English learners will encounter on their Cambridge exams and in real life.

I'm deeply committed to my students and their success. After repeatedly hearing students cite misleading information about English from social media, I decided to create my own channels—offering well-organized exercises and resources designed for deeper learning.

My goal is to provide students not only with high-quality information and learning materials but also with practical study strategies. As a language learner myself, I understand how challenging it can be to master a second language while balancing other commitments. Many of the methods I share have been effective for both me and my advanced students. I also recognize that not everyone can afford private lessons, so I strive to make learning accessible by offering multiple ways to engage with English.
