Speak English Like a Pro 3.0

Intensive lessons with Venya were memorable for me because I received only relevant, current information on the topic. Everything was explained with real-life examples, in simple terms, and with humor. :-) Furthermore, I was pleased with the technical and organizational sides, including webinars, chats, and reminders. Everything was clear, modern, and tasteful. I’m looking forward to the next intensives!

Venya is a very good teacher. He always smiles and jokes. And when the mood is good, I’ve noticed it’s much easier to study. When explaining the material, Venya usually gives such vibrant--I would even say "flashy"--examples that stick in your memory very well. I also liked that Venya communicates with everyone as if they were long-familiar friends. This vibe is very comfortable. That would be great to talk face-to-face! I have done only one intensive grammar course so far. It was rather short but capacious. It may seem a bit complicated if you’re a complete beginner. But those who know the grammar will still find something interesting in the course. And it won’t necessarily be related to the grammar :-) It is more important that there be instant communication with the teacher, a resident of the United States. He is immersed in the language environment and knows all the life situations first hand. It was very useful that he repeated and reinforced many rules and topics. To all those who are still thinking about it, I recommend trying at least one intensive course. That way, you’ll see how the process is organized and how Venya is in action. He’s so cool!

I previously participated in the marathon, “Speak like a Pro,” and I liked the course a lot. It was the first time I’d participated in such a course. The format of homework was hugely interesting and informative--there was a lot of new and useful vocabulary for everyday communication. As the vocabulary was explained via song lyrics, I discovered a new way to study the language for myself. My partner for this course was perfectly chosen. We became good friends and did all tasks on time. And I’d like to specifically mention “The Chaos Poem:” amazing thing to boost your pronunciation! It was a challenge within a challenge.

All lessons were delivered in an interesting and engaging format. All examples given were helpful for increased comprehension and memorization of the information, to build emotional connections. My partner was chosen nicely, we have kept in touch with him after the end of the marathon.
