Non-native speakers make mistakes because they translate.
This course is designed to help you shift your thinking paradigm and learn to formulate your ideas correctly in a foreign language
Most business people worldwide today are non-native speakers.
As non-native speakers, we need to learn to communicate clearly with anyone, whatever their cultural background is or what their mother tongue is. When you write, you learn how to develop your speaking skills and apply the new thinking paradigm to the situations you face at work.
Non-native speakers need resources to check their writing MORE than native speakers.
People often genuinely don't know what is a mistake and what is not, what sentence makes sense and what doesn't. The course offers enough strategies and resources to learn to edit the way people think so that they can apply the same strategies in situations where they have to speak.
Many non-native speakers struggle with creative writing in English.
Yet, it is part of many brainstorming sessions in international companies and it's an essential skill for people who need to deliver compelling presentations in English.
Non-native speakers need help with metaphors.
All it takes is to be more attentive. For examples, listen to the speech by Steve Harvey, which went viral. He says there: "You gotta jump. You gotta dash off that cliff and jump out there as far as you can". Knowing how to use metaphors and analogies is another important step towards native-like fluency. Metaphors make your writing easy to imagine and your ideas - easy to remember.

Most often asked questions
The course is 100% in English. If you can read this website and understand my videos, most probably your level of English is enough. If you already write a lot in English and you feel that you need to improve your skills, the course is for you. Check out the welcome video, and if you understand everything I say - you will do great in the course.
Congratulations! It's a great achievement. People who take my courses already have a good command of the language. Many are advanced, some teach English as a foreign language. If your English is already advanced, you will still find a lot of useful tips and tools here to continue moving towards native-like fluency - the level of absolute freedom of expressing yourself.
