Easy, fun, step-by-step English language skills fast. If you need to talk to people using the English language, you need this class. It teaches you how to understand the English that speakers use every day. Your teacher explains English pronunciation lessons step-by-step in easy-to-understand English.
For English language learning and communication at work, you need great English listening skills. These days, most of us don't have hours and hours to learn to understand spoken English. If you have just sixty minutes, you can change your understanding of English conversation forever.
You could spend hundreds of hours learning to understand English pronunciation the way it's REALLY spoken. But why do that when this one-hour class will get you there faster? Your teacher, Nina Weinstein, has taught English to some of the most powerful international executives in the world from Toyota, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Tatung, Sumitomo, and others. The takeaway busy people who don't have a lot of time to learn English, still need English. In one entertaining hour, Nina will give you many of the same listening lessons she gives to non-native, English-speaking employees from major companies employees who must understand English speakers to do their jobs. Most lessons are ten minutes or fewer.
Nina wrote the most widely used book to understand spoken English, "Whaddaya Say", published by one of the biggest publishers in the world, Pearson Education. Oxford University, Stanford University, UCLA and many other libraries include Nina Weinstein's famous listening book, "Whaddaya Say".
BONUS: When you understand how native English speakers REALLY speak (the major differences between written and spoken English pronunciation), you can sound more like a native English speaker.
"Best ESL English: English for Success (Fast), Beginning" is the "magic sauce" of English listening. In each lesson, you'll enjoy step-by-step, practice exercises to hear and understand more of spoken English. These practice exercises were written by Nina, the author of twenty English textbooks for major New York publishers.
The beginning level, "Best ESL English: English for Success (Fast)"; intermediate listening class, "More ESL English"; and advanced listening class, "(How to Get) Your Best English" are all in the elite Udemy for Business program. These three English classes are Nina's popular listening program.
Nina has a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics/Teaching English from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and she taught her listening program at Harvard University as a teaching fellow. "Best ESL English: English for Success (Fast), Beginning", "
"Easy, natural way to listen to real native English speakers. I would absolutely recommend it. Before taking this English course, I went through many English courses, but none of them were as comprehensive as 'Best ESL English: English for Success (Fast), Beginning'. It takes you by the hand and teaches you the real secrets to understanding native English speakers. Easy to follow and entertaining. I would absolutely recommend it." Salvatore Scaniglia"Exactly what I wanted to learn. I couldn't recognize those English sounds before going through these lessons." Vadim Dzyuban"This English course helps you a lot on your listening, 5-star recommended." Sant Cheung

Secret 1: Learn how native English speakers REALLY speak. Reduced forms are real pronunciations of spoken English. Practice and understand the first reduced form, *ya, in natural speech. If learners learn these real pronunciations, reduced forms, it's much easier to understand native English speakers. Includes practice exercises and a test.
Secret 2: Learn a very common spoken English pronunciation, *Whaddaya. Practice hearing and understanding native English speakers say both real pronunciations in natural speech -- *ya, and *Whaddaya. Includes practice exercises and a test of Lessons 1 and 2.
Secret 3: Learn one of the three most common spoken English pronunciations, *wanna. Practice hearing and understanding native English speakers say all three real pronunciations in natural speech -- *ya, *Whaddaya, and *wanna.

Secret 4: Learn the two steps you must have to understand how native English speakers will pronounce any phrase or sentence. You'll practice hearing and understanding real native English speakers say all four real pronunciations (reduced forms) so far -- *ya, *Whaddaya, *wanna, and *a. Includes practice exercises and a test of Lessons 1 through 4.
Secret 5: Learn and practice a very popular English sentence with native English speakers -- *Whaddaya *gonna . . . .
Real world practice is very important. Millions of people have listened to this cool song, "When I'm Gone" (Cups) by Anna Kendrick, Pitch Perfect. After the lecture, download the "When I'm Gone" exercises and practice what you've learned so far with this fun song! Then download the "When I'm Gone" answers. How did you do?
Which spoken English sentence is correct?
Secret 6: Many learners don't know when an English speaker says "can" (positive) or "can't" (negative). Learn a very easy technique. Practice hearing and understanding all of the reduced forms you've learned so far, plus *kin. Includes practice exercises and a test of Lessons 1 through 6.
Secret 7: Add another real English pronunciation to your growing list -- *git. Practice understanding all of the reduced forms you've learned, including *git, by hearing native English speakers. Includes practice exercises and a test of Lessons 1 through 7.

For Step 2 -- adding power to your speech -- go to my next class, the intermediate level of this listening program, "More ESL English, English Language Learning, Intermediate", Lesson 11.
"Conversational strategies" are informal words or sounds like "uh", "you know", etc. Native speakers use them very often, so we need to understand them. This lesson explains this very important part of listening to real speech.
Now that you've studied real spoken English, how much real English conversation can you understand? Take this challenge to find out, and then do some very fun listening exercises with these beautiful songs-- See Justin Bieber- "As Long As You Love Me".
