How it works
Speaking settles through repetition, not knowledge. I build the repetition out of your life.
The three pillars below work together in every session. None is enough alone: pronunciation without scenarios turns into memorization, and scenarios without analysis turn into mere repetition.
Scenarios come from your life
When you sign up, my first job is getting to know you: what you do, where you will use English, which situations make you sweat. Sessions are built on those answers. With a sales manager we rehearse price negotiations; with a PhD student, handling conference questions. In the same week two of my students cover two completely different lessons, because their lives are different.
Same week, two students
Product manager moving to Berlin
An apartment-hunting call: guarantor, deposit, negotiating the lease. Then the sound linking inside that same dialogue.
PhD student preparing for a conference
Post-talk Q&A rehearsal: naturally asking someone to rephrase, stalling phrases that buy you time.
Pronunciation: which sound, where, how it changes
The American accent is not a vibe; it is a countable set of rules. In sessions we work through them one by one, on your own sentences:
Flap T
water → wader, better → bedder
A t between vowels turns into a soft d.
Linking
an apple → a-napple
Word boundaries exist in writing, not in speech.
Dropped syllables
probably → probly, family → famly
Unstressed syllables usually disappear.
Reductions
going to → gonna, want to → wanna
Forms Americans never write but always say.
Sentence rhythm
I never SAID she stole it
Where the stress lands changes the meaning; rhythm matters as much as words.

Analysis: the system gets to know you, lesson by lesson
In the last five minutes of every lesson we go over the day’s analysis together, and all of it is logged on the platform: which sound you tripped on, which pattern you translated from Turkish, which corrections were made. That record never disappears; it grows into a map with every lesson. I pick the next lesson’s scenario and pronunciation work from the library based on that map; the program reshapes itself around you every week.
What about grammar?
Grammar comes up exactly as much as it blocks your speaking. If you keep building a pattern wrong, we stop there, fix it, and drill it inside the sentence. But we never open a grammar book; that is not what this program is for, and I say so up front.
