From intermediate to advanced with Culips.
You've studied for years, but you still feel stuck. Fast conversations are hard to follow, and you miss the jokes and the slang. When it's your turn to speak, the right words come slowly. You're not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck. This is exactly where Culips helps.
Listen, study, speak, connect. That's the whole method.
Start with a lesson on a topic you'll enjoy, like daily life, culture, or current trends. The hosts chat like friends, so listening feels fun and relaxed.

Indiana: Really sunny. The view from the top was amazing.
Andrew: That sounds perfect. I just stayed home and rested.

Kassy: The cool thing about Oregon is its eclectic vibe. A lot of people moved up from California, so you get California-y vibes but also woodsy, backwoods ones.
Andrew: Yeah, it's a really unique place. You've got super liberal and super conservative areas depending on where you are. So that makes for an interesting place.

Andrew: So, Kassy, would you say you're more of an open book or a closed book?
Kassy: I give the appearance of being an open book, but I'm actually a bit reserved.
Andrew: Interesting. I think I'm pretty good at keeping secrets.
Kassy: Oh, I'm terrible at it. I always end up telling everyone!
Andrew: Ha! That must keep things interesting with your friends.

I joined Culips last month, and I've loved the small group sessions ever since. Speaking was my biggest challenge, and I wish I had joined sooner. If you're not sure, just join. You won't regret it.
Last week I went to Germany to present my work, in English, at an international conference. It was the first time I felt so free to talk with my colleagues. A huge thank you to the Culips team. It means so much to me.
My English has improved since I joined the classes. The atmosphere always makes me feel relaxed and able to speak without thinking or translating. It feels like meeting friends at a cafe.
I tried improving my English through various channels, but none helped the way Culips did. This is the first time I'm writing a review on any podcast.
Joining the Culips Discord has been the best thing I've done while learning English. It's fun and varied, and you talk with people from many parts of the world. I feel my English has improved since I started.
The monthly challenge has become a regular part of my daily routine. A huge thank you to the whole Culips team. You're all doing a brilliant job.
Andrew and the entire Culips team have transformed how I learn English. Your pronunciation, intonation, and speaking pace have helped me become more confident.
I usually listen to the same episode multiple times in different speeds. After a while, I can feel my listening improved a lot.
