Are you currently getting over something or someone?

and find out why this is a connection skill.
There's a big difference between understanding English and participating in English.
Understanding means you follow the conversation.
You participate by adding your ideas, reacting naturally and keeping the conversation moving.
Many English learners are strong listeners, but hesitant speakers.
Once you know your current fluency level, it becomes much easier to close that gap.
Take our free two-minute quiz to discover your level and what to focus on next.
