Step-Up Vocabulary for Real English
Description
This lesson helps you expand and refine your English vocabulary using expressions that English speakers actually use in real life— at work, in the news, in movies, and in everyday conversation.
We focus not only on phrasal verbs and idioms, but also on natural alternatives that replace basic expressions like very + adjective or textbook phrases.
Instead of memorizing long word lists, we learn vocabulary in context, through examples, short discussions, and practical usage. The goal is to help you recognize, understand, and confidently use natural English when speaking and listening.
